Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey on “Friends,” is returning to television in “Episodes,” a six-installment series that Showtime has ordered.
The show, from creators David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik, will revolve around a British couple whose hit U.K. comedy is turned into a dumbed-down American sitcom starring LeBlanc, who will play himself.
“I am so glad I got the part,” the actor said. “Seeing someone else play Matt LeBlanc would have been devastating.”
