JENNIFER ANISTON, LISA KUDROW DROP HINTS ABOUT THE 'FRIENDS' REUNION
Fox News can confirm that a "Friends" taping is being targeted for the first part of 2021.
In August, the reunion was pushed back because of the coronavirus pandemic after it was originally supposed to be taped in April and air in May.
Marta Kauffman, the show's co-creator, previously told Entertainment Tonight that she wanted to wait to tape the special because she wanted a live audience to be able to attend.

"We all want it to happen. We just have to wait until it is safe. This is a show that is not scripted, but this is the way the show works -- we are going to need a live audience. Even if we socially distance that live audience, it really is a huge part of what 'Friends' is... We cannot do it without them," she said in August. "Everyone is all in and we are just waiting for that time when it feels connected to bring in a live audience."
