Marta Kauffman says she now gets why people have been critical of "Friends."The co-creator of the hit comedy series told the Los Angeles Times she had initially thought people were unfairly targeting the sitcom about its lack of diversity, but explained she's "learned a lot in the last 20 years.""Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy," Kaufman said. "It's painful looking at yourself in the mirror. I'm embarrassed that I didn't know better 25 years ago.""Friends," which ran from 1994 - 2004, starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer. It had been criticized for a lack of longstanding characters of color.In 2020, Schwimmer told The Guardian he was "very aware of my privilege as a heterosexual white male" and said "Friends" happened during a "pre-woke" time, when story was not as inclusive."Maybe there should be an all-Black 'Friends' or an all-Asian 'Friends,'" said Schwimmer, who played Ross for 10 seasons. "But I was well aware of the lack of diversity and I campaigned for years to have Ross date women of color. One of the first girlfriends I had on the show was an Asian-American woman, and later I dated African-American women. That was a very conscious push on my part."That didn't go over well with some who pointed out that the all-Black cast comedy "Living Single" aired from 1993 to 1998 (predating "Friends" by a year") and, like "Friends," focused on six young adults and their intertwined lives in New York City.Kauffman, who created "Friends" with David Crane, told the LA Times that she came to better understand systemic racism in the U.S. after the George Floyd murder and consequently the complaints about the show.That helped motivate her to pledge $4 million to her alma mater, Brandeis University in Boston, for the establishment of an endowed professorship in the school's African and African American studies department.Since the endowment was announced, Kauffman said she's "gotten nothing but love.""It's been amazing. It surprised me to some extent, because I didn't expect the news to go this wide," she said. "I've gotten a flood of emails and texts and posts that have been nothing but supportive. I've gotten a lot of 'It's about time.' Not in a mean way. It's just people acknowledging it was long overdue."

KENOSHA, Wis. — Hannah Gittings and her boyfriend, Anthony Huber, were in Kenosha protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake on Aug. 25, 2020. That night, Huber was shot and killed.

Gittings is now back in Kenosha awaiting a verdict in the trial of the man who pulled the trigger, 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.

Tuesday saw tense moments outside of the Kenosha County Courthouse. For Gittings, it brings back feelings of when she last saw her boyfriend.

"It's been more dramatic than I thought it was going to be. We all knew the trial was coming, obviously," Gittings said.

Rittenhouse's defense team says Huber attacked Rittenhouse with a skateboard, and Rittenhouse killed Huber in self-defense. The prosecution and Gittings said Huber was trying to disarm Rittenhouse.

Gittings said she expected Huber's actions to be more of a focus during the trial.

The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse

"I just feel he was so underrepresented in this trial and I don't think that's fair, because what he did was assess an active-shooter situation, and he was just that type of man," Gittings said. "If he could've gotten that gun away, he would've held on to it. I don't think he would've thrown it. But clearly his main goal was to just stop this kid from doing what he just done, which was murdering Joseph Rosenbaum."

Rittenhouse faces charges of first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and failure to comply with an emergency order. He faces life in prison if convicted of the intentional homicide count.

LOS ANGELES —

Jennifer Aniston has led the tributes to her "Friends" co-star James Michael Tyler following his death, saying the show "would not have been the same" without him.

Tyler, who was best known for playing Gunther — the Central Perk manager and Rachel Green's admirer — on the hit '90s sitcom for 10 seasons, died peacefully at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday, his representative Toni Benson said.

He passed away following a battle with prostate cancer, which was first diagnosed in 2018, Benson said. He was 59.

After news broke of his death, Aniston — who was starred as Rachel — paid tribute to him with an Instagram post which acknowledged his contribution to the show's success.

"'Friends' would not have been the same without you," she wrote. "Thank you for the laughter you brought to the show and to all of our lives. You will be so missed #JamesMichaelTyler."

Her post included a clip from the 2004 series finale when Gunther finally plucked up the courage to tell Rachel that he loved her as she prepared to leave New York for a new life in Paris.

Rachel let him down gently by saying she would always think of him whenever she saw a man with "hair brighter than the sun" — making reference to Gunther's iconic bleached blonde look.

Courteney Cox, who played Monica Geller on the show, remembered Tyler as a magnanimous person.

"The size of gratitude you brought into the room and showed every day on set is the size of the gratitude I hold for having known you. Rest In peace James," Cox wrote alongside a picture of him on her Instagram page.

Joey Tribbiani actor Matt Leblanc also shared a heartfelt message, which said: "We had a lot of laughs buddy. You will be missed. RIP my friend."

Lisa Kudrow, best known for portraying quirky masseuse Phoebe Buffay in "Friends," thanked Tyler "for being there for us all."

"James Michael Tyler, we will miss you," she wrote alongside a photo of him on Instagram.

David Schwimmer, who played palaeontologist Ross Geller, thanked Tyler for "playing such a wonderful, unforgettable role" and "for being such a big hearted gentleman and all around mensch off screen."

"You will be missed, buddy," he added in a tribute posted on Instagram.

"Friends" co-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane told CNN in a statement that Tyler was a "genuinely kind, sweet man."

Tyler shared the news of his diagnosis publicly during an appearance on the "Today" show in June. He said he had lost his ability to walk after the disease started "mutating," causing tumors up and down his spine.

He made a brief virtual appearance at the "Friends" reunion earlier this year.

The 'Friends' cast will finally begin shooting their reunion special



it's time to get re acquainted with a few good friends. Hi, I'm Emily. And welcome to Miss Mojo. Today. We're seeing where the cast of friends is now. Okay, Should we get some coffee? Sure. Okay, Where For this list? We're looking at what our favorite friends and some others have been up to since the show wrapped in 2000 and four. Let's get to it. Number 10 James Michael Tyler. I used to be Bryce on all my Children. Tyler may not be a household name, but any friends fan will recognize him as Gunther, the manager of Central Perk and Rachel's Secret admirers. Despite usually being designated to the background, Tyler appeared in just under 150 episodes. Thanks to the show's enduring popularity, Tyler still gets residuals for the episodes he's spoken following the series finale. Tyler played himself on two occasions, once in an unaired pilot for nobody's watching and again in episodes where he reunited with Matt LeBlanc. You know, you're like the only one I don't keep in touch with. Seriously, yeah, still see Schwimmer and Courtney and I text all the time. Thanks, really. He's also popped up in chicanes music video for Come Tomorrow and the series Modern Music. Tyler even opened a Central Perk replica in London, while Gunther, maybe his career defining role, Tyler ditched his character's signature bleached hair after the series wrapped number nine Cole Sprouse. Following his feature film debut in Big Daddy, Cole, Sprouse landed a recurring role as Ross's son, Ben. Hey, why don't we get some shoes on you, huh? Why don't you show Dad how you can put your shoes on in your room, huh? Dad? Sprouse appeared in seven episodes, but his career was just getting started. Only a year after friends ended, Sprouse took center stage alongside his twin brother, Dylan, in the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Coal reprised his role as Cody Martin in the Suite Life on Deck, as well as several other Disney shows. On the heels of an acting hiatus call, returned to the limelight as a fully grown heartthrob, playing Jughead Jones on Riverdale and will in the tear jerker 5 ft apart. You've been asking about me. Cole has come a long way since his Child Star days. Ross, Carol and Susan must be so proud. Number eight. Maggie Wheeler. Well, I knew you had the Rockies. And so I figured, you know, you could wear Bullwinkle and Bullwinkle or you could wear Rocky and Rocky. Or you can mix and match appearing at least once per season. The pesky Jan has remained a constant thorn and Chandler side throughout the series with a nasal voice, obnoxious laugh and an unforgettable catchphrase. Oh, My Maggie Wheeler molded Janice into her most popular character, following her kiss goodbye to Chandler in Season 10, Wheeler has mostly taken on guest spots and other sitcoms. Since How I met Your mother has often been called friends for another generation, it's only fitting that Wheeler made an appearance as a real estate agent who shows Marshall and Lily an apartment. Wheeler's vocal talents have also made her a natural choice for animated projects. Voicing characters in Archer and the Adams family, Trinet takes pride in her work. I really do so come on budget. Gosh, that's not so bad, is it? Whenever we hear Wheeler's voice, we can't help but say, Oh my God, number seven Paul, If I had more time to work on it, better, yeah, yeah, Oh, my God, you did that yourself, honey, That's gorgeous. You know the baby can't read. Mike Run made his first appearance as Phoebe's future husband. Mike Hannigan, in Season nine, by this point, had already established himself in comedies like Clueless and Wet Hot American. Summer After Friends Ended, though, emerged as one of cinema's most sought after Funny Men. In addition to supporting roles in Anchorman, the 40 year old Virgin and Knocked up Run eventually achieved leading man status in films like I Love You Man and this is 40. His signature wit made read the ideal candidate to play Scott Lang and Ant Man, thus becoming an integral part of the M. C. You look, I want to see. I know you know a lot of super people. So thanks for thinking of me as of 2019 can be seen in a dual role on the Netflix series, Living With Yourself and yes, right looks like he hasn't aged a day since playing Mike. Number six. Lisa Kodro, Smelly Cat, Smelly Cat. What are they feeding you after saying goodbye to Phoebe Buffet and Smelly Cat who draw took on a new character, as has been actress Valerie Cherish in HBO's The Comeback. Although it initially only lasted one season, the show learned Kodro a primetime Emmy nomination. The series was revived for a second season almost a decade later, ironically, making a literal comeback. This wouldn't be cadres. Last Post Friends TV role. In addition to being the star of Showtime's Web therapy, Kodro has made guest spots on shows like Scandal, Bo, Jack Horseman and Unbreakable. Kimmy Schmidt, God, You're Alive, It's My Baby. She's maintained a presence on the silver screen as well, landing supporting roles in Easy A Neighbors and Book Smart, just to name a few behind the scenes, she's still happily married to her lobster. Michelle Stern number five. Matt LeBlanc. Seeing how Friends was a ratings powerhouse for NBC, it only made sense to give one of the six main cast members a spinoff. Uh, thank you, Minnie, but she recognized me, huh? Unfortunately for LeBlanc, Joey didn't even come close to filling the void and was given the acts two seasons later, like Joey himself. After Dr Drake Remora got killed off, LeBlanc disappeared from the spotlight for several years. His career gained a second wind in 2011, however, when the Blank played an egotistical version of himself in episodes. So I'm here. Why, okay, Yeah, well, to talk about our show, this meta roll one LeBlanc his first Golden Globe putting him back on top of the T V World. LeBlanc would digitally reunite with Kodro on a couple of episodes of Web therapy and has returned to the multi camera sitcom format and man with a Plan Number four. Matthew Perry. Aside from playing an adult, Zac Efron in 17 again the actor behind Chandler, Bang has steered clear of film roles as of late in favor of his television roots, and I just want a million dollars Studio 60 Mr Sunshine and Go On didn't enjoy the same longevity as friends. Lasting a season each beyond Couple did make it to three seasons. However, one of Perry's most notable guest spots was on Cougar Town, finally reuniting Chandler and Monica. Kind of Why don't we forget about this whole thing and grab a cup of coffee? Take a deep breath and I can try to figure out how someone as incredible as you are isn't married. As a recovering addict, Herring continues to help others battle addiction and even received a Champion of Recovery award in 2018. News broke that Perry spent three months in the hospital following an abdominal surgery for a gastrointestinal perforation. Hopefully, it isn't long until Perry's back on television number three David Schwimmer Ross Geller may remain his most iconic role, but Schwimmer hasn't stopped to take a break since friends concluded we were on a break. If anything, he's only expanded his resume. Making his Broadway debut in The Caine Mutiny court Martial and directing his first feature with Run Fatboy run in the Madagascar movies, Schwimmer provides the voice of the neurotic giraffe Mellman I can see now if only we could get a crossover between Mehlman and Marcel on the T V front. Schwimmer's made quite a few guest spots on various sitcoms, including episodes and Web therapy. Schwimmer earned a primetime Emmy nomination for playing Robert Kardashian on The People vs O. J. Simpson and became a recurring guest star during Season 10 of Will and Grace Ross and Grace. Now that's must see TV number two Courtney Cox. Following her tenure as Monica Geller, Cox was a top contender to play Susan Mayer on Desperate Housewives. Cox declined that job since she was pregnant with her daughter at the time, but several more opportunities soon opened up. She played a resilient tabloid editor on the short lived dirt and appeared in three episodes of Scrubs. Season eight Cocks reteamed with the Scrubs creator on Cougar Town, starring as Jules Cobb for six seasons. It's just that lately I've been feeling like I'm gonna shrivel up and dive. I just don't get out there and start doing things. Two years after reprising their roles in Scream four, Cox and husband David Arquette officially finalized their divorce. Since 2013, she's been in a relationship with indie rocker Johnny McDaid. Unlike Monica, however, Cox doesn't seem eager to get hitched. We guess you could say her and McDade are keeping things breezy. I'm breezy. Hey, you can't say you breezy. That that totally negates the breezy.

Rachel Green was only the beginning for Aniston, who stands out as one of the rare television stars who successfully transition to the big screen. Well, it matters to me. Having starred in blockbuster comedies like The Breakup, Horrible Bosses, Where the Millers and Many More, Aniston is among Hollywood's highest paid actresses between her divorced with Brad Pitt and separation from Justin Thoreau. Aniston is no stranger to the tabloids. The gossip surrounding Aniston's personal life is an afterthought compared to her professional achievements, though in 2019, Aniston will return to television on The Morning Show, a flagship drama series for the Apple TV plus streaming service. The part you guys never seem to realize is that you don't have the power anymore, and frankly, I've let you bozos handle this long enough.

The 'Friends' cast will finally begin shooting their reunion special


Back in 2019, "Friends" fans first rejoiced at the official news that the cast of their favorite show would return for an unscripted reunion special on HBO Max. But the project didn't end up shooting this past year.Deadline confirms, however, that the cast will officially begin shooting the special next week on the original Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank. Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc will all be returning for the special and will executive produce alongside "Friends" creators Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane. Ben Winston will direct and will also be an executive producer. Emma Conway and James Longman will co-executive produce, per Deadline. We don't know specific details about the show yet, but Schwimmer did give talk-show host Graham Norton some information this week. "I'm going to Los Angeles. We're going to be shooting the 'Friends' reunion next week," he said. I'm hopping on a plane this afternoon, this evening. And yeah, gonna see everyone next week for the first time in many years." He added that the whole cast will appear as themselves instead of their characters' names: "I'll be myself. I'll be David. There's nothing is scripted; we're not in character. We're all ourselves, the real people, although there is one section of it that I don't want to give away, but we all read something." He added, "It's really funny. I should have been doing that, and I really have very little excuse, but I haven't been able to bring myself to catch up on the 236 episodes. I guess I need to watch a lot over the next five days." Norton mentioned that the show wrapped 17 years ago (2004). That's your cue to start doing the math on how old all the characters' kids are now.

And yeah, gonna see everyone next week for the first time in many years." He added that the whole cast will appear as themselves instead of their characters' names: "I'll be myself. I'll be David. There's nothing is scripted; we're not in character. We're all ourselves, the real people, although there is one section of it that I don't want to give away, but we all read something."

He added, "It's really funny. I should have been doing that, and I really have very little excuse, but I haven't been able to bring myself to catch up on the 236 episodes. I guess I need to watch a lot over the next five days."

Norton mentioned that the show wrapped 17 years ago (2004). That's your cue to start doing the math on how old all the characters' kids are now.
