That's so wild because of all his love interests other than Rachel he probably had the best chemistry with Emily. Or maybe that's just me and my random rewatches.

She was nice but not particularly funny. Schwimmer had no one to bounce off. It was like clapping with one hand.

lol this is so mean.

I mean he’s not wrong but damn he didn’t have to do her like that. lmao

James was a busy man, directing 200 episodes of Friends and, if my memory serves me correctly, every episode of Will and Grace.

You’re right, he directed every episode of Will & Grace’s original run and the revival

he’s an overachiever

[setsuna16]

He directed a bunch (if not the majority) of Cheers episodes, and he's now directed over 1000 episodes of television in total.

But since Friends and Will and Grace (and Fraiser) had some concurrency, it's even more impressive. I kind of figured that each episode of a television show, even a comedy, was a pretty big commitment.

cheers, friends and will and grace?? that man must have made so much money in residuals

She might not be funnier, but I bet she's smarter than Aniston!
