Yet it took fans a little longer to tune in amid the technical issues.
US and international viewers penned: ‘The One Where HBO GO crashed #FriendsTheReunion… HBO GO crashing : “We were on a break!!”…
‘##FriendsTheReunion… The one where I subscribed to HBO Go just for #FriendsReunion and it crashes. Anu na?!?!?!?!…

‘HBO better be fixing this now. #FriendsTheReunion… The One Where No One Can Watch Because HBO GO Crashed.’
Friends is arguably one of most successful sitcoms of all time, running for 10 beloved seasons and 235 episodes from 1994 to 2004, which has left fans clamoring for a reunion, and that day is finally here.
The six stars – Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer – reunited on the Warner Bros. studio lot, where the show was filmed, for a night chocked full of laughs, tears and everything in between.
Laughs and tears: The six iconic stars – Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer – reunited on the Warner Bros. studio lot, where the original show was filmed, for a night chocked full of laughs, tears and everything in between
The special was filmed over a three-day period on the Warner Bros. lot, using the iconic fountain from the show as a backdrop for the cast’s main discussion, hosted by James Corden.
The Late Late Show host – whose choice was quite controversial among fans – delved into the making of the show in a lively discussion.
Corden also brought over Ben Winston, who serves as showrunner on The Late Late Show, to serve as the director and producer of the reunion special.
Though the Q&A did garner some criticism for failing to delve too deeply into topics that most Friends super-fans weren’t already familiar with.
Lines: ‘Where’s the tissue box?’ Aniston asks while visiting the living room set, while LeBlanc wonders if Cox’s lines are still written on the kitchen table
The discussion delved into familiar territory, asking about each cast member’s auditions and other tales from early in development.
Aniston revealing a producer on a show she was on while auditioning for Friends, incorrectly told her, ‘That show won’t make you a star.’
Series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman also regaled fans with tales from casting, and how the idea for the show was first formed.
