Q: What's changed besides your creaky back and achy joints?Ī: "Not much. Does it seem that long ago to you?Ī: "Well, it didn't until you said that. Q: It's been 20 years since Friends made you famous. I'm in a lot of trouble right in the first episode." They made a conscious effort to come out of gate swinging and boy does it. We've been criticized that the opening episodes (in the) first and second seasons come out of the gate slowly and that's definitely not the case this year. It's something we're really proud of and this third season is the funniest one yet. It's a really small-budgeted show, but the quality is there. It's a labor of love for everyone involved.

He shares more about his return to TV, what makes him feel old and what his family thinks of his profession. It's not just flattery though the role earned LeBlanc a Golden Globe last year and plenty of critical acclaim. If everyone thinks this is who I really am, isn't that my job description to make (them) believe it? So, I'm flattered in that sense." Everyone thought I was Joey (from Friends). People have asked me if I'm concerned that the audience will think that this is what I'm really like," LeBlanc says. (He's) this really sort of damaged, careless, irresponsible guy that's difficult to redeem at times.
