I never knew she was even on that basic ass show lol

Like cmon, based in New York and no black people? No ockky at the deli? No NOTHIN? 🤣

😭😭😭😭😭

Yeah. It was big news back in the day. Black folks were like whatever. 🤷🏾‍♀️

GOOD lol they want a badge

Exactly! They got so much criticism for not having Black people on the show. NBC was like "here, damn."

LMAO the fact that in the beginning of this, she was like girl we don’t care about friends I want to be on Martin or living single 😭

Friends was good

Put me to sleep. Definition of white noise

reminds me of this masterpiece 😂😂😂

But I thought Aisha Tyler was Ross's first real Black love interest?

She said ny undercover lmao I thought i was the only one who remembered that show. Iconic

How would any black person know? We were too busy watching Martin, Living Single, New York Undercover, etc. than to be watching Friends. I have still never watched an episode of Friends.

basic unseasoned Perdue chicken…..

Jenifer Lewis was definitely the first Black woman on Friends.

Oh baby you are so late lol

I ain't watch that show after a few episodes lol

CTFFUUUU THEY MAD WE DONT CARE!!!

Jenifer Lewis was on Friends years before Gabrielle Union. The fact that the people on the show don’t seem to know that is telling.

Say what you must I am on my 29th …. I mean fucking 16th back to back rewatch…. Never call FRIENDS a basic show ever again … how dare you call a show I know almost what they say next word for word, a basic show …

First black women on the show I think, then they had Aisha Tyler on had her play a token girlfriend 🥴

@ESPNFrankie You gotta understand that “basic” is the mountain top of television. That’s the ceiling for television.

Basic? It’s literally the most successful tv show of all time

She wasn’t watch Living Single, Martin, or New York Undercover. Those shows ended years before she was on friends.

I actually like some Friends episodes but the way people try to act like you dont like white shows if you say you're not a fan of it is wild. Like my black family was definitely watching the Golden Girls, Simpsons, King Of Queens, hell even Frasier on rotation growing up. 😂😂

I really can't stand Friends. Ross and Rachel really brought down the vibe. Especially through today's lens. I would've ate up a Phoebe spin-off, though.

But Living Single was all black and that was ok. Hypocrite. DEI 🐷

I think what she meant to say was... thank you for the opportunity? Also, Friends was a global phenomenon, and there's no way she was acting this way when she was told she would be on the show.

Sooooooo, only Ross dated women of color? Interesting....

it's been almost 15 years since i saw this (by @topherflorence) which i think of every time this issue is raised

Basic ass show you sound dumb asf. You’re part of the problem. But you’ve watched dumb asf

On of my top 20 shows. Still dangerously non-inclusive. Even the Black actors weren’t “Black” like Blackety-Black. Still a phenomenal laugh out loud series! Living Single was robbed and hilarious!

Remember when she was good, now she's racist and a liar

Friends and her talent made her. It raised her profile in Hollywood and to producers. She might have made it any, being on the number one show in the country in its last season, set her on a path to a good career and has worked since. Strange she is so defiant

Idk how ppl watch friends or Seinfeld. It’s just dry humor.

They’re always so racist. Blk this. Blk that. Disgusting people

It was my transition show… think I was waiting on my wife n kids to come on.

Damn who knew she sounded so dumb
