I use it to buy all this stuff but look I got another job tomorrow so I'll pay you back with the money I make from that oh okay oh sorry I acted like a bank welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 dark truths about friends your disease is just outside just doing one arm push-ups just waiting just waiting for you waiting to get you alone because alone you lose for this list we're looking at some less than happy behind the scenes facts about the show and at stars
no one could have told the cast of Friends it was going to be that way feeling stuck in second gear leave us a comment below and you'll feel a whole lot better number 10. Jennifer Aniston almost quit before the final season the question of when to end a television show isn't always an easy one you know what um I have some goodbye stuff that I wanted to say to each of you and I was going to save it until the end of the night but come here sure sometimes the network makes the decision for you
but when the show is a hit deciding when to call it quits can often come down to the actors themselves with friends that decision was reportedly almost made by Jennifer Aniston after season nine so I don't think I should do it anymore I'm gonna give you my week's notice what gone through I quit Aniston didn't know if there were any more stories worth telling and as she admitted to Matt Lauer in 2004 quote I wanted it to end when people still loved us and we were on a high who knows if they would have done
a 10th season without Rachel but we're glad we never had to find out no no we have to get off the plane I got off the plane number nine Jennifer Aniston hated the Rachel haircut if you were a woman in the mid 90s there's a good chance that at some point you went into your local hair salon and asked for the Rachel haircut and don't worry you weren't alone women everywhere were doing it you got plugs careful careful they haven't quite taking it and you got lenses sticking your finger in your eye 11 million in
Britain alone admitted to giving the do a try but how did the woman who started it all feel about the look well when Aniston first got the cut she loved it isn't this exciting I earned this I white tablespoort I steamed milk for it and it was totally not worth it but those feelings changed pretty quickly when quote I was totally left with this frizzy mop on my head because I had no idea how to do what my stylist did as she described it maintaining the look was a high maintenance Escapade involving a blow dryer
and multiple brushes number eight Andre Agassi was extremely jealous when Brooke Shields guest starred in January of 1996 tennis player Andre Agassi smashed all of his trophies and ripped up the walls in the room where he kept them in his house why did he do that no no no no you don't have to tell me anything you don't have to explain yourself to me oh who am I to question the great Dr Drake Remora was it because of a bad call on the court nope it was because Brooke Shields licked Matt leblanc's finger no seriously
these hands these Miracle magical life-giving heads oh just to be near them touch them maybe even lick one Shields had scored a guest role on the season two the one after the Super Bowl episode of Friends in said episode she goes on a date with Joey and licks his hand Agassi and shields were dating at the time and according to Agassi hand licking even scripted hand licking was quote over the line I know about you too I saw you today kissing in the doctor's Lounge is that what you think you think it was you told
me I was the only one seeing it sent him into a rage and he took that anger out on his tennis trophies number seven Matt leblanc's onset injury remember the episode where Joey injures his arm falling off his bed see Joe that's why your parents told you not to jump on the bed no that wasn't how Matt LeBlanc hurt himself however it was how the writers Incorporated his injury into the show the whole story worked out but then uh Chandler sold me out well I'm sorry Joe I didn't think the doctor was going to buy
that it just fell out of the socket the actual injury took place during the filming of the previous episode the one where no one's ready and I want just to jump over the coffee table and somehow tripped and my legs went up in the air and my shoulder came out of the socket in the in that episode Joey and Chandler are fighting over who gets to sit in the comfy chair and at one point they both go for the seat at the same time in one take leblanc's dive didn't go as planned and he ended
up dislocating his shoulder leading to the sling Joey is wearing in the next episode so we had to put that into the show but we waited until he was okay again to film the ending of the one where no one was ready number six Lisa Kudrow was sued by her ex manager in 2007 three years after friends ended its run on NBC Lisa Kudrow fired her manager Scott Howard and I am furious with him foreign calm down I'm trying but man that guy can push my buttons in 2008 Howard sued Kudrow claiming that he was
owed a five percent commission of her residuals from friends and all other work he negotiated for her prior to his termination one thing that made this all more difficult to determine was the fact that Kudrow and Howard had an oral rather than written agreement about it we provided a service and we deserve to be paid because you ate that service and um we are not leaving here until we are paid every penny because you know what Lenny we're part-time Caterers and we have no place else to go however while Kudrow won the initial summary judgment
a California appeals court reversed the ruling in 2014 and ordered Kudrow to pay Howard 1.6 million dollars and a football phone okay they didn't say anything about a football phone but the money part is accurate football phone as our free gift do you believe this now I have a thousand dollars and a football phone number five the network didn't love the cast's negotiation tactics each of the six main cast members were paid 22 500 per episode in the first season however come the second season each of the friends was paid a different amount ranging from
twenty thousand to forty thousand per episode we don't have as much money as you okay okay I hear you we can talk about that well that wasn't gonna work going forward the group saw themselves as a true ensemble cast with no one more important than the others and beginning with season three they decided to negotiate their salary as a group important your friends or money [Laughter] friends the network preferred to do it separately but the gang held their ground from that moment forward they were all paid the same which in Seasons 9 and 10 was
1 million dollars per episode and I just want a million dollars series co-creator Marta Kaufman called that number quote kind of ridiculous number four Fame wasn't what David Schwimmer expected friends was such a huge hit from the moment it premiered that it didn't just bring Fame to its Stars it brought a mega level of Fame that is hard to understand I'm not playing tonight why not I can't follow Ross bicycle riding chimps who had to follow the Beetles ew for David Schwimmer it was it was just hard to deal with so much so that it
didn't just affect him but his relationships with other people as well Ross Stellar Ross Geller why do I know that name it's a wait did you ride this as he told the Hollywood reporter's podcast Awards chatter back in 2016. quote it was pretty jarring and it took years I think for me to adjust to it and become comfortable I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky because really I'm fine foreign I wasn't a little surprised he was also an actor who as part of his craft liked to be anonymous and observe people
out in the world well he sure couldn't do that anymore either number three Lisa Kudrow's body issues to fans she was the beautiful funny smarter than you think Phoebe I may play the fool at times but I'm a little more than just a pretty blonde girl with an ass that won't quit but when Lisa Kudrow would see herself on television all she saw was a quote mountain of a girl Kudrow discussed her body issues on Marc maron's WTF podcast and revealed that trying to stay skinny took a physical toll on her body telling Marin quote
when I was too thin I was sick all the time so what is it am I hideously unattractive no you are not you are very attractive you know what I go through the exact same thing every time I put on a little weight I start questioning everything unfortunately this societal pressure to be of a certain body type many people deal with and being rich and famous obviously doesn't make it any easier hello you look great thank you I know though number two Matt LeBlanc retreated from The Fame David Schwimmer wasn't the only one who found
it hard to deal with the fame I can't believe you're nominated for an Emmy no no I'm self-oper digest award nope I'm up for a soapy honey is that something you're making up Matt LeBlanc also struggled with it all and eventually on the verge of a nervous breakdown needed to walk away for a while after friends ended and after Joey was canceled LeBlanc barely left his house and basically told his agent to quote please lose my number for a few years I don't feel like like to worry about you and some of us really have
to pee there's a pretty amazing silver lining in this Dark Cloud though as LeBlanc used that time away to focus his attention on his new daughter Marina who had been diagnosed with cortical dysplasia hey oh how are ya [Music] where are your babysitters huh she has since outgrown the condition and LeBlanc has called that time they spent together quote the best thing I've ever done before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional videos or
