MATT LEBLANC AS JOEY TRIBBIANI PLAYS “PYRAMID”
ON FEBRUARY 5 EPISODE OF “FRIENDS” ON NBC
Game Show Boasts Exciting Lineup for February: TV Show Reunions; Soap Villains and Heroes; Favorites from TLC’s Trading Spaces; And the Second $100,000 Tournament of the Season
CULVER CITY, CA (January 14, 2004) – Pyramid kicks off the February sweep with the show and host Donny Osmond featured in an episode of “Friends” on NBC,
leading into an exciting February sweeps lineup for the game show. “Friends” star Matt LeBlanc’s character Joey Tribbiani appears as a celebrity guest on Pyramid during the February 5 episode of the hit comedy series (8:00-8:30 pm ET/PT). Filmed entirely on
location at the Pyramid set in November, host Donny Osmond tries to encourage an over-confident Joey through the word-association game. When Joey begins to realize that any mistake he makes is actually costing someone money, he begins to panic.
“Having the crew of Friends come to the Pyramid set to film these scenes was really a thrill,” commented Osmond. “Considering that this is their final season, we were really honored. Matt has incredible comic timing, and working with him was a real treat.”
Pyramid also has an all-star line-up for February. During the week Friends airs, Feb. 2-6, Pyramid reunites past TV favorites from Dallas, Happy Days, The Love Boat, M*A*S*H and The Brady Bunch. Competing to make it to the Winner’s Circle are Charlene Tilton and Joan Van Ark (Dallas); Erin Moran and Marion Ross (Happy Days); Bernie Kopell and Jill Whelan (The Love Boat); Loretta Swit and Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H); and Christopher Knight and Barry Williams (The Brady Bunch).
“Sweethearts Week” airs Feb. 9-13, leading into Valentine’s Day. Hollywood couple Jerry O’Connell and Giuliana DePandi (E! Entertainment Television), Mario
Lopez and fiancé Ali Landry, and country stars Sammy Kershaw and Lorrie Morgan attempt to make this a Valentine’s Day to remember for the Pyramid contestants.
The week of Feb. 16-20 features some of the good, the bad…but not the ugly from Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless, General Hospital and The Bold
and the Beautiful, as Pyramid’s “Good vs. Evil Soap Opera Week” kicks into high gear.
The week of Feb. 23-27 features some of Trading Spaces’ most popular talent as host Paige Davis, designers Laurie Hickson-Smith and Kia Steave-Dickerson, and carpenters Amy Wynn Pastor and Carter Oosterhgous see if they can turn their design expertise into Winner’s Circle moments.
The excitement continues in the Winner’s Circle on Mar. 1-3, as four contestants who have already won $25,000 return for their chance at $100,000 in the second $100,000 Tournament of the season.
Pyramid is produced and distributed by Sony Pictures Television (SPT).
Stephen Brown is executive producer and Harry Friedman (“Wheel of Fortune,” “Jeopardy!”) serves as executive consultant.
