Gunther the Central Perk barista is, without a doubt, my favorite character from *Friends*.
His bleach blonde hair. His tacky shirts. His monotone delivery of every single line . It’s all wonderful and part of what made Friends one of the best sitcoms of all time!
Recently, the cast of the show got together for an HBO Max reunion special.
Sure, Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry were there. Sure, Lady Gaga made an appearance and sang “Smelly Cat” with Lisa Kudrow.
But can you guess who I cared to see? That’s right, GUNTHER!
Sure enough, Gunther, played by the hilarious and sweet James Michael Tyler, was there in his Central Perk merch!
He’s traded his clean-shaven face for a beard and was rocking glasses this time around!
Fans were so happy to see their beloved barista on-screen again!
