\nAt long last, Friends: The Reunion premiered on HBO Max this week, and a standout moment for many fans was the “Smelly Cat” cover by Lady Gaga. Featuring the original six main cast members reminiscing about the series, the special brought back Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer. A variety of special guests were also included in the special, including superfan Lady Gaga.
\nIn the segment, Lisa Kudrow is performing Phoebe’s classic song when who suddenly comes in but Lady Gaga. The “Born This Way” singer, dressed up as Phoebe appeared on the original sitcom, offers to join in and give “Smelly Cat” a spin. After Gaga sings a verse, the two end up singing the song together. A gospel chorus even joins the song by the end of the segment. The scene has since been shared on social media, where it has quickly garnered millions of views from fans.

(@JenT_4) May 28, 2021Along with Lady Gaga, some of the other celebrity guests to appear on the special include Cara Delevingne, Cindy Crawford, Kit Harington, Thomas Lennon, Reese Witherspoon, David Beckham, Tom Selleck, and Mindy Kaling. The special features recreations of the original sets from the series, like the apartment and the Central Perk coffee shop, along with table reads and interviews with the cast. Behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the series is also shown and the cast reveal stories about the production never before told.
\nFriends co-creator David Crane says there’s no interest in doing a reboot or revival of the series, but doing the reunion show as a one-off special made sense.
\n“The idea of doing a reboot or anything where you see the characters again was off the table,” Crane recently told THR. “We ended the series the way we wanted to end it, and the idea of revisiting the characters was never interesting. But even a reunion, I was apprehensive. But [director] Ben Winston presented his vision of it and I found myself getting really excited. I left that meeting going, ‘Oh, this actually could be very cool.'”
