The non-Friends cast member fans claim will "ruin" the reunion
Fans are not happy with the fact that James Corden is set to host the Friends reunion special that is airing later this month.
“All these people could’ve been a part of the Friends reunion but Warner Bros chose Justin Bieber and James Corden,” one Twitter user furiously wrote alongside a picture of other guest stars from the show’s run, including Brad Pitt and Paul Rudd.
“James Corden adding the Friends reunion to the list of things he’s ruined with his mere presence,” another added.
“Don’t get me wrong I’ve been wanting a Friends reunion since 2004 but if someone told me James Corden would be in it I’d have told them not to bother,” read another angry tweet.
UK singer-songwriter Grace Petri quipped, “James Corden in the Friends reunion makes sense to me … It’s straight people’s turn to get their culture ruined.”
Corden’s hosting of the reunion does seem off in hindsight considering the host’s Late Late Show airs on CBS, while Friends was a linchpin of rival NBC’s programming for many years.
But Corden’s presence is hardly the least shocking bit of Friends news circulating this week.
Matthew Perry caused mass panic after he appeared in the teaser for the reunion slurring his words.
Perry has candidly spoken about struggling with addiction in the past, revealing he doesn’t remember filming entire seasons of the show.
