OlderMatt LeBlanc Joins 'Episodes' Showtime Sitcom
Former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc is set to star in a new Showtime comedy, Episodes.
The sitcom is a single-camera comedy series about a British couple whose hit UK show is turned into a dumbed-down American sit-com starring LeBlanc (as himself).
“[Creators David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik] have a great idea — I love it,” said LeBlanc. “I am really excited to be working with Showtime and the BBC. And I am so glad I got the part, seeing someone else play Matt LeBlanc would have been devastating.”
Here’s a synopsis of the show: When a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team are lured by Hollywood to produce a new version of their hit series for a stateside audience, they’re initially thrilled at the prospects. But they soon realize what the American execs have in store for their precious show – including replacing the erudite British lead with the quintessential comedy star, Matt LeBlanc – and begin to sink deeper into the quicksand that is the TV business. Before long it’s clear that not just the couple’s show is at stake, but perhaps even their marriage.
WILL YOU TUNE IN to watch Matt LeBlanc’s new comedy?

Chandler, Matt le blanck and Liza Kudrow were the best actors in Friends. I missssssssssssss them so much.

at least some of the other ppl from friends got in2 some other stuff for a while but joey was the worst off

Friends is really a classic show
bad actor, can only play one same role. predictions: show to fail

OMG thank you DAVID CRANE! you are amazing.
i own the complete series of FRIENDS and I watch them almost daily!
I watched JOEY and i dont understand why no one watched it? it was pretty funny.
I WILL DEFINITELY WATCH THIS i miss him so much.
people may say hes a bad actor and can only play one role.. well thats pretty stupid because when i see jennifer aniston movies she still reminds me of rachel
when i see lisa kudrow movies she still reminds me of phoebe
and matt leblanc played joey for 12 years of his LIFE. 10 in FRIENDS and two more in JOEY.
so it is a part of him now. SO STOP HATING.
WE ALL LOVE YOU MATT WERE SO HAPPY YOU’RE BACK!
I would love to meet you -that would make my life!!!!!!!!!
@I n F a m o u s l y C o o l:
idiot
@Danny: ur an idiot because he played joey 12 years of his life- 10 in friends and 2yrs in joey. so being ‘JOEY’ is basically a part of his life.
so dont be hating when you have all these fans loving him. he is an amazing actor and very intelligent but plays a role of a simple minded average guy. i speak for all when i say MATT LEBLANC IS TRULY AMAZINg.
