"It's happening," Schwimmer told Andy Cohen today on his SiriusXM radio show. "Actually, in a little over a month I'm heading out to L.A....So, finally, I mean, we figured out a way to film it safely and there's going to be a portion of it that we filmed outside because of, you know, for safety protocols." Schwimmer also said Ellen DeGeneres is not hosting the special, and neither is Billy Crystal. "I can tell you who it's not, but that'll take a while, probably." The Friends reunion special was originally supposed to tape a year ago, but was delayed due to the coronavirus crisis.

The long-delayed special will begin taping next week at the original Warner Bros. Burbank soundstage with Grammys and Late Late Show with James Corden executive producer Ben Winston directing. The special, which was originally scheduled to film last May, had been delayed due to coronavirus crisis. During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lX2OrEX9wU), Schwimmer emphasized that "nothing is scripted, and we are not in character. We are all ourselves, although there is one section of it that I don’t want to give away, but we all read something.”
