On the show, Janice Hosenstein was Chandler Bing (<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/matthew-perry">Matthew Perry</a>)'s love interest, a recurring character known for her loud laugh and dramatic use of the phrase, "Oh my god."And while she last appeared on the beloved sitcom in 2004 shortly before the series finale aired, Maggie's daughter recently relived her mom's on-screen catch phrase in a TikTok video. "When people find out who my mom was on Friends and try to get me to do the voice..." Gemma wrote before leaning forward and mouthing the words "Oh my Gawwwwd."She captioned the video, "The amount of times this has happened in a frat house basement is stupid." The TikTok video has garnered over 285,000 likes. In a later TikTok video, Gemma brought Maggie into the frame for "Never Have I Ever," a game that requires the player to put a finger down if they've done the task. "Some people wanted my mom to join me on a TikTok so she helped me hop on this trend," she captioned the video. The actress stood behind her daughter as she watched Gemma confess to secrets like sneaking out of her house and pretending to be sober in front of her parents. When Gemma had only one finger left at the end of the game, the mother-daughter duo both laughed, and Maggie lifted her hands in a feigned sense of relief that "Never Have I Ever" was over. Maggie isn't the only "Friends" actress to make a cameo on TikTok. <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/courteney-cox"></a><a href="https://www.insider.com/category/courteney-cox">Courteney Cox</a>, who starred as Monica Geller in the sitcom, made her TikTok debut by performing a choreographed dance with her 15-year-old daughter Coco Arquette. "Wanna see your child lose their patience? Do a TikTok with them," Cox wrote when sharing the video on Instagram. And Alexandria Cimoch, who played one of triplets that Phoebe Buffay (<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/lisa-kudrow">Lisa Kudrow</a>) carried as a surrogate for her brother Frank Jr. (Giovanni Ribisi) on the show, also relived her "Friends" days on TikTok.She posted a series of photos of herself as a baby on the "Friends" set with the theme song, "I'll Be There for You" playing in the background. "yes... I was on friends," she wrote. A "Friends" reunion special <a href="https://www.insider.com/friends-reunion-special-details-information-2020-3">was set to air on HBO Max</a>, a new streaming service, in May 2020. However production has been halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new release date hasn't been announced.

Another significant cast member, <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/cole-sprouse">Cole Sprouse</a> (Ross and Carol's son) was also notably absent from the reunion. It's possible that he wasn't present because he was busy filming "Riverdale" in Vancouver.<div type="image" title="paul rudd friends mike hannigan" height="1297" width="1729" msid="83062923" hostid="261"></div>Winston told The Wrap that some stars who were invited to the special "weren't able to make it" to the taping, which took place at Warner Bros. Studio's Stage 24 in California, where the original show was filmed. He said that logistical challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic made it difficult to get more actors involved. Although Rudd didn't appear on "Friends: The Reunion," fans got a glimpse of him in old footage shown from the taping of the show's series finale. As the six main stars took their final bow, Rudd was seen in the studio audience, couching down and capturing the moment on a camcorder. <div type="image" title="paul rudd friends finale recording cast bow" height="912" width="1215" msid="83062926" hostid="261"></div>Fans on Twitter loved the brief moment, comparing Rudd to Regina George's mom, June, (Amy Poehler) holding a camcorder in "<a href="https://www.insider.com/category/mean-girls">Mean Girls</a>." Others asked for an extended version of the moment.Rudd himself previously spoke about feeling like he didn't belong on set when the cast filmed their final episode together."I was in the last episode, which made no sense to me whatsoever," the actor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW-Xjv5qWho">said</a> during an appearance on "The Graham Norton Show" in 2019.Rudd recalled being on the sound stage when filming wrapped, noting how the cast was so emotional."Jennifer Aniston was crying and I thought, 'I'm not supposed to be here,'" he said. "To break the ice, I went over and said: 'Well, we did it! What a ride!' The joke inevitably fell flat.'"Rudd was likely unable to appear on "Friends: The Reunion" because he's gearing up for his return as the titular character in Marvel's third "Ant-Man" film, <a href="https://www.insider.com/marvel-movie-release-date-schedule-2020-4">set for release</a> on February 17, 2023.Star Michael Douglas told <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/05/on-my-screen-michael-douglas-the-kominsky-method-emmy-1234760410/">Deadline</a> that filming for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" will begin in London in July and Evangeline Lilly has been <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/COuOn_KAS0x/">updating fans</a> on the workouts she's doing in preparation for her return as Hope van Dyne/Wasp."Friends: The Reunion" is airing now on HBO Max.
