Fast Friends, which begins production in October, will test participants with Friends-themed trivia, puzzles and games, with one team winning the title of Ultimate Friends Fan. It will be filmed at New York City’s interactive Friends Experience location, allowing contestants to see the show’s iconic sets and re-live their favorite show moments while racing for the top prize.
“As a longtime fan of Friends, I am beyond thrilled to host the first-ever game show,” Cummings said in a statement. “After 30 years, the fandom surrounding this beloved series only continues to grow and now I have the great pleasure of awarding the ultimate fans with bragging rights for life.”
