Do You Know Matthew Perry & Matt Leblanc’s One Episode Of Friends Was Banned?

Ever since Friends premiered, the hit sitcom has remained popular on streaming platforms. The American sitcom ran for 10 seasons and featured actors like Jennifer Anniston, Courtney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Davi Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow, who were highly praised for their relatable characters, humor, and friendship. While the show garnered much critical acclaim, there was an episode that was notably banned due to its controversial content.

During the entire run of Friends, two episodes were banned from TV, among which one featured Perry and LeBlanc. The episode was banned from the UK for its explicit content while the other episode was banned because it showcased a same-sex wedding.

Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing often pushed boundaries with his character’s antics, including a notable kiss with co-star LeBlanc. However, there was one scene Perry adamantly refused to film, leading the writers to remove it from the show entirely. During a throwback appearance on What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Perry was asked if there were any Friends storylines he wasn’t happy with. He shared, “There was a storyline on Friends where Chandler went to a male strip joint because he really liked the sandwiches. And I called up and was like, ‘Let’s not do this one.'”
