Emotional Jennifer Aniston wipes away tears as Friends stars reunite for director James Burrows while David Schwimmer jokes about cast sex contract
Jennifer Aniston wiped away tears on Sunday during a televised tribute to legendary television director James Burrows.
The 47-year-old actress joined her Friends castmates as they gathered to celebrate the career of the 75-year-old director during the two-hour special Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows on NBC.
Aniston took to the stage to honor Burrows along with Friends co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc.
Matthew Perry couldn't be there as he was preparing for his play in London but welcomed the others to the stage in a pre-recorded video.
'We would do anything for Jim Burrows because he really gave us the opportunity of a lifetime,' said Aniston who played Rachel Green on the hit show.
'We experienced friendship, family, heartbreak, babies, everything, together. And we also had a wonderful experience with the world loving us as well,' she added.

Fond memories: Aniston made it clear just how grateful she was to work with the legendary burrows and was visibly moved as he spoke on stage
The beauty dabbed her peepers with a serviette as the tears began to flow
Touching: Jennifer didn't try to hide her emotions during the high-profile event in which she was keen to honour a dear friend
Aniston fought back tears later in the broadcast as Burrows took to the stage to thank his colleagues and supporters.
The show was hosted by Bravo star Andy Cohen and featured more than 40 actors who were directed by Burrows on shows such as Taxi, Cheers, The Big Bang Theory, Frasier, Will & Grace and Mike & Molly.
Andy asked the Friends cast if they all signed contracts 'saying that you wouldn't sleep with each other?'
Burrows is shown with the cast of Friends minus Matthew Perry who couldn't make it
'David, say something,' Kudrow told her pal Schwimmer as an awkward silence ensued.
'Well, that was broken,' Schwimmer quipped as the audience started to rumble.
Kudrow said she was never asked to agree to such contract terms.
Andy also asked for an explanation of how their characters afforded their spacious New York City apartments.
Courteney said her character Monica Geller inherited the apartment from her grandmother.
'Rent control!,' barked LeBlanc who played Joey Tribbiani on the hit show.
It's been a long time coming, but the sight of the Friends cast side by side was welcomed by fans of the show
There for each other: The man of the hour joined his former colleagues for a picture
Courteney also revealed that she, Aniston and Kudrow ate lunch together for 10 years while filming the show.
Kudrow said they were all well aware of Burrows' track record when they were cast in the show.
She said that Burrows assigned them to past actors he worked with and told Cox she was Mary Tyler Moore, LeBlanc was Tony Danza from Taxi, while Kudrow was Reverend Jim, played by Christopher Lloyd, also from Taxi.
LeBlanc told Cohen that Burrows had encouraged the case to 'get to know one another, and be kind to one another.'
Aniston added that it was Burrows who had got them all interested in playing poker with Kudrow saying he had given up his dressing room to play in.
Cohen asked the group about the bond they developed as actual friends on set.
'At the beginning it was not a hard thing, we really just wanted to hang out with each other, it was not ''Uggh we have to do this'' we just really fell in love and adored each other instantly and would hang out at each others houses and watch the show together,' said Aniston.
'We did, yeah the first year,' said Cox as LeBlanc said they would give each other notes and suggestions during the watch parties.
Jennifer clapped while looking misty-eyed
LeBlanc told him that his favorite Joey moment was the episode where Ross gets hit in the face with a hockey puck.
Cox then told Cohen that her favorite episode was 'The One With the Blackout' from the first season, where Ross is on the balcony with a cat clawing his back.
Schwimmer said Burrows told him to keep going with the cat on his back until he called cut 'but he never did.'
Friends for real: The Friends cast talked about being friends and supportive of each other on the show
Aniston said that she loved the show's famed flashback episodes.
'I always loved when we would flashback to fat Monica and Rachel pre-nose job and Ross with his afro,' she said.
Aniston gushed about their 'papa' Burrows and said of him: 'He taught us everything we know about comedy.'
The fan favourite show lasted a decade and chronicled the lives of a group of tight-knit friends living in New York City.
But despite its huge success, the stars have made no secret of why they are no longer interested in revisiting their characters.
Kudrow has cited her age as the primary reason she isn't interested in reprising her Friends role.
'I'm too old,' she told HuffPost Live in 2013. 'I wouldn't even have an interest in seeing what those people are doing 10 years later as parents that have to be responsible. It would be so different that it wouldn't be Friends anymore.'
LeBlanc also believes the magic of Friends would be lost now that the characters are older.
'Friends was about a finite period of time in your life, like after college and before your life really gets started. That's sort of where you're away from home and you're away from college, and your friends are your family,' he said onThe Meredith Viera Show.
Speaking to Graham Norton in London recently - where he's currently working on a play - Matthew Perry explained his role in the reunion, and also shed light on what would be involved.
He explained: 'It's not the Friends reunion that everybody's hoping for.
'They're celebrating Jim Burrows, who was a director of Friends and the five of them are going to be on this special and I'm going to introduce them from here because I'm doing the play here (in London).'
'Once that's over, nobody wants to see Joey at his prostate exam,' he joked.
However, the opportunity to come together in tribute of Burrows was plenty reason enough to get the old gang back together.
Schwimmer previously said: 'This man is an incredible director who helped define situation comedy in this country in the last 40 years so I love him and I'm excited to be there.'

I saw her on celebrity name game and her face is very very dry and wrinkled. I think Jen has aged the best since Courtney looks a little too botoxy.

A little? She looks like a freak. Talk about going overboard. Another stupid woman who doesn't know when to stop.
I'll still take a more average sized man - but I'd make an exception for John Hamm
Yes to the Hambone.
Yes! She looks great. So sad that Courteney felt the need to change her face. I was just watching Friends re-runs of the very first episodes and kept thinking how beautiful she was.
