Fast Friends Game Show Launches in December Perfect for Holiday Entertainment
In September 2024, Max announced a new game show based on the hit sitcom Friends, called Fast Friends. Fans are in for a treat with this exciting new addition to the streaming world! The show was filmed at the Friends Experience: The One in New York City in October 2024, and now we have a release date to mark on our calendars. Fast Friends premieres on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024, on Max, with a total of four episodes scheduled to come out each week on Thursdays. The last episode is set to be released on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025. Whitney Cummings, a comedian and actress, will be hosting the show, adding her own comedic touch to the game. Teams will compete in trivia questions, puzzles, and games all centered around the beloved sitcom. Let’s see if they throw in their own version of the Lightning Round—that would be a fun twist! According to a press release, the “quickest team” will be crowned the winner, though it’s unclear if there’s a cash prize or just bragging rights up for grabs. The three teams of two competing are Café Con Leche, It’s a Bing Thing, and Team Lobster. Let’s hope they have more Friends knowledge than Monica and Rachel so they can avoid losing something as big as the apartment! Cummings, a self-proclaimed fan of the show herself, is sure to bring her enthusiasm to the hosting gig. What sets this game show apart is that it was filmed at the Friends Experience in NYC, allowing viewers to see familiar sets like Rachel and Monica’s apartment, Joey and Chandler’s living space, and the iconic Central Perk café. It’s shaping up to be a fun and lively watch during the holiday season and into the new year. Make sure to tune in for Fast Friends starting on Dec. 19, 2024, with new episodes released weekly.
