NextImg:Whitney Cummings tapped to host Max's new 'Friends' game show 'Fast Friends'

It’s been 30 years since Friends first hit TV screens in September 1994, launching cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer to stardom. As the theme song goes, the beloved sitcom has likely been “there for you when the rain starts to pour.” Lucky for fans, Max is paying tribute to Friends with a game show — one which has just announced its host.

Comedian Whitney Cummings is set to host Fast Friends, the streamer’s new original fan competition that “will take place in the celebrated series’ iconic sets,” per the show’s logline.

“From racing through Rachel and Monica’s apartment to darting across Joey and Chandler’s bachelor pad and grabbing a coffee at Central Perk, fans will re-live their favorite moments while being put to the test with trivia, puzzles, and games that will keep even the most die-hard Friends fans on their toes,” the logline continues. “The quickest team will win the title of Ultimate Friends Fan.”

In a press announcement shared on Friday with DECIDER, Cummings said that “as a longtime fan of Friends, [she is] beyond thrilled to host the first ever game show.”

“After 30 years, the fandom surrounding this beloved series only continues to grow and now I have the great pleasure of awarding the ultimate fans with bragging rights for life,” she added.

The show is executive produced by Dan Sacks, Bridgette Theriault and Dan Norris, with Richard Burgio as co-executive producer.

All 10 seasons of Friends are streaming on Max.
