Of the 236 episodes of “Friends,” many fans can pinpoint their favorites from Phoebe introducing “Smelly Cat” to the world in “The One with the Baby on the Bus,” or “The One Where Ross and Rachel Take a Break.” But so can the cast, who collectively agreed that the episode where everyone finds out about Monica and Chandler’s relationship is one of the funniest.

“I did love the one where everybody finds out,” said Kudrow. “Because I had very fun things to do.”

While the cast couldn’t give too much away from their decades-in-the-making homecoming, they said to expect laughs, some games and a colossal dose of nostalgia.

“I hope the fans walk away with a sense of what it was like for us to have made the show,” said LeBlanc.

“Hopefully a year later, people will still enjoy it and it will cheer some folks up,” added Schwimmer.
