Aisha Tyler opened up about playing Charlie Wheeler on 'Friends,' saying, 'To this day, people come up to me and go, 'Charlie, Charlie,' or they just go, 'Black girl from 'Friends.''
“I was shocked you couldn’t hear my teeth chattering the entire time I was on set.”“We walked out and we did a curtain call where everybody does a bow to the audience at the end of the show. As we’re backstage, Matthew Perry just leans in and goes, ‘Get ready for your life to change,’” she continued. “It was a really sweet, kind thing to say to someone who’s just petrified and just trying not to pee on herself a little bit from fear.
Tyler revealed that before she landed the role on “the biggest show on television,” she’d seen every episode and considered herself a fan, which ultimately helped her to get a feel for its comedic styling.Jennifer Aniston says younger people find ‘Friends’ offensive, comedy is tricky these days and that especially here and now, ‘The world needs humor!’
“The show had a tempo. It had a way of kind of turning things on their head and emphasizing words in different ways ... [than] you would in normal conversation,” Tyler continued. “They just had a way with word play and a way with them with delivering lines. It just felt unique to the show. I was a fan. I felt like I could do a ‘Friends’ joke.”
As for her favorite line on the series, Tyler recalls, “I literally yelled at somebody in the car the other day, ‘We’re on a break!’” Twenty years after playing the paleontologist heartbreaker, Tyler is preparing to portray Jules on Apple TV+’s thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me” produced by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine. The series premieres April 14.
