The twist is that Jack Black serves as the “Game Master” tricking the participants throughout the game. During the competition, Stiller, Kudrow, Cox, and Scott try to solve the puzzles while Black manipulates a set of buzzers and they can ask him only three clues. When they finally figure it out, there are more surprises waiting for them and you can see Cox walking through a tiny, dark room by herself—reminiscent of her horror days in Scream.

In a sneak peek Scott says, “The game master is Jack Black and he is diabolical,” Scott says.

“It’s a battle of wits,” Black explains. “You against the room.”

Who’s the weakest link in this A-list team? “That’s me,” Kudrow volunteers.

“No, you’re so smart,” Cox says. “It’s going to be [Adam Scott].”

For each room the players complete, money is donated to Red Nose Day to charities for children in need. The show aired on May 21 on NBC and was followed by the two-hour Red Nose Day Special.

Multiple outlets confirm that 15 years after the hit sitcom aired its series finale, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer have signed on to take part in a taped unscripted reunion special for HBO Max. 

But don’t get too excited — the reunion isn’t a reboot or a revival, but an opportunity for the six friends to get back together and talk about their show. 

“Guess you could call this the one where they all got back together — we are reuniting with David, Jennifer, Courteney, Matt, Lisa, and Matthew for an HBO Max special that will be programmed alongside the entire Friends library,” said Kevin Reilly, chief content officer at HBO Max in a statement. “I became aware of Friend’ when it was in the very early stages of development and then had the opportunity to work on the series many years later and have delighted in seeing it catch on with viewers generation after generation. It taps into an era when friends — and audiences — gathered together in real-time and we think this reunion special will capture that spirit, uniting original and new fans.”

Ben Winston will direct the special. He will also executive produce alongside Friends exec producers Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman, and David Crane. 

Friends ran for 10 seasons from 1994-2004 on NBC. All ten seasons of the sitcom left Netflix at the end of 2019 and will be available to stream again once HBO Max launches in May.

The series from Lee Daniels (Empire) and Whitney Cummings (2 Broke Girls) centers on three generations of women working in the Ombudsman’s office of a college that navigates the current cultural climate, the concept of feminism across different generations, and the struggle to reconcile socially constructed ideas with current ethical views regarding complex issues such as sex, race, class, and gender.

Kudrow will play Lynn Steele, the university ombudsman. She is described as a tired, mercurial force of nature who finds herself being seen as out of touch by millennials, even though she has been a champion of women her entire career.

Daniels and Cummings wrote the pilot and will executive produce with Kudrow. It is produced by Amazon Studios and Fox 21 Television Studios.

The Emmy-winning documentary show follows celebrities as they trace their genealogy. Multiple outlets confirm that this second go-round will include 13 episodes. 

The series is produced by Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky. Ancestry and Shed Media are producing.

“Dan and I could not possibly be happier to be back at NBC where we get to work with Paul Telegdy, George Cheeks and Meredith Ahr. It honestly feels like we’re back home,” said Kudrow.

“Now, more than ever, people are looking to connect with their ancestry to uncover a deeper understanding of who they are,” said Ahr, President of Alternative and Reality Group at NBC Entertainment. “We’re excited to once again travel around the world with some of our favorite celebrities as they get answers and surprises about family members who came before them.”

“Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky, along with our team at Shed Media, have made Who Do You Think You Are? not only a great television show but a genre-defining brand. We are thrilled to come back home to NBC. It couldn’t be a more perfect fit,” said Mike Darnell, Warner Bros. Unscripted and Alternative Television President.

A premiere date and list of participants will be announced later.

Ellen DeGeneres stages a surprise Friends reunion on Tuesday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 

Courtney Cox, who played Monica Gellar on the series, came to Ellen to promote her new Facebook Watch docuseries about pregnancy,  Nine Months with Courteney Cox.

DeGeneres decided to help Cox get more exposure for her new series with photoshoot on a fake Central Perk set so Cox would have something to post on Instagram (though she hasn’t joined yet but is thinking about seriously!). And in walks Lisa Kudrow!

“I wanted to be there for you,” Kudrow told a surprised Cox.

“You’re here!” Cox said. “This is a shock.”

New episodes of Nine Months air Tuesdays and Wednesdays on Facebook Watch. Check out the adorable reunion photo below!

The half-hour animated comedy is produced by Lisa Kudrow, who will also lend her voice to the production. Brothers Eric and Justin Stangel (Late Show With David Letterman) will pen the script and executive produce alongside Kudrow.

Lyle & Caroline is described as a family-driven comedy focusing on the friendship of its two titular characters, who form a surrogate grandparent/grandchild bond in an unexpected way. According to Deadline, Kudrow will provide the voiceover of Caroline, the high school-aged grandchild.

Fox is definitely pushing into animated content under president Michael Thorn. Lyle & Caroline is the network’s latest animated effort following Amy Poehler’s Duncanville and Bless This Mess from Emily Spivey, Phil Lord, and Chris Miller.
