05. The cast members all took a trip to Las Vegas together before the pilot episode aired

In the recent ‘Friends’ Reunion, James Burrows, the TV director who directed Friends and helped cast the actors for the show, talked about how he took the whole crew to Vegas before the pilot episode aired for a special bonding session.

There, he made sure they knew it was their last trip as anonymous people – and he was right about that. They had dinner, he gave them $200 each to gamble, and then they went back to working.

It sure brings back some fun memories of the Friends episode where they all go to Sin City.
