Over the years, 'Friends' has garnered quite a sizeable celebrity fan following as well, seeing that 'Friends: The Reunion' had multiple celebrity guest stars, all of whom spoke fondly of how the show was a part of their lives. Among them was none other than actor Kit Harington, or as he was introduced, Kit Harington-Geller. Harrington mentioned that he considers himself to be a Geller, seeing that he's "incredibly anal, neurotic as hell" and wears "overly tight trousers."

Although he wasn't sure which Geller he is, his description makes him sound like quite the blend of Ross and Monica. Harington also spoke about how the actors were "masters of physical comedy," by using one particular episode as an example -- 'The One with the Cop' from season 5, more popularly known as the 'Pivot' episode.

He pointed out that as actors, the cast knew how to incorporate physical comedy seamlessly, making scenes like the 'Pivot' effortlessl funny. The dialogue itself in that episode is basic - when Ross insists that Rachel and Chandler help him carry his couch up to his apartment, all while he comically screams "pivot" while they try to get the coach up to the first landing. 

"The thing about that scene is it's so simple. If you were to see it on the page, initially, it's three actors, carrying a couch up the stairwell." Harington explained, breaking down the scene. "There is maybe a page of dialogue and nothing really in that dialogue suggests anything massively comic. But what they do in that time and carrying that couch up those stairs is one of the funniest things I've seen on TV," he added. 

Fans were thrilled to see Harington be a part of the special and even agreed with his breakdown of the scene. "Kit Harrington said it, FRIENDS IS PHENOMENAL BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL COMEDY!!!!! #FriendsReunion," tweeted a user. 

"Kit Harrington-Geller his favorite scene is pivot. I cannot handle this. It’s 4:20 am and I’m cackling like a maniac. Someone is going to call men with white coats to come get me #pivot #FriendsReunion #KitHarington," added another. "Kit harrington-geller HAHAHAHAHA same," tweeted a fan, agreeing with Harington's new name.

'Friends: The Reunion' can be streamed on HBO Max.
