Kit Harington names his favorite Friends scene in reunion special

Game of Thrones star Kit Harington breaks down his favorite Friends scene on the new reunion special, and it’s one most fans will immediately recognize.

Friends: The Reunion, aka “The One Where They Get Back Together” is currently streaming on HBO Max. The unscripted special reunites the six actors behind one of the enduringly sitcoms of the 1990s for a trip down memory lane, and they’re not the only ones taking it. In addition to Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer, a whole host of guest stars are on hand to talk about their memories of the show, including Game of Thrones veteran Kit Harington.

Now, does the reunion special need the likes of Harington, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and many others talking about their favorite Friends memories? I don’t know, but it’s here and it’s fun so I’m just gonna roll with it.

Express watched the reunion and helpfully let us know what Harington had to say about his favorite Friends moment, which is one any fan of the show will probably recognize. “There’s a scene with David Schwimmer, where Ross is deciding not to pay for the delivery service of the sofa,” Harington said. “They start taking the couch up the stairs, and quite quickly everyone gets into trouble. This is not something that’s going to go up the stairs. David Schwimmer tells them to start to pivot.”

Harington is talking about a beloved scene from the season 5 episode “The One with the Cop,” where Rachel and Chandler help Ross get his new couch into his apartment. This scene comes up a lot when talking about great Friends moments, mainly cause of how Schwimmer gets frustrated and starts screeching “PIVAAAT!”

“The thing about that scene is it’s so simple,” Harington continued. “If you were to see it on the page initially, it’s three actors carrying the couch up the stairwell. There’s maybe a page of dialogue, and nothing really in that dialogue suggests anything massively comic. But what they do in that time in carrying that couch up those stairs is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TV…“I think one of the reasons Friends is so funny is the fact that these six actors are masters of physical comedy.”

To Game of Thrones fans, Harington is known mainly for his dire performance as Jon Snow, but he has a penchant for comedy, too. If you need proof, watch him alongside Andy Samberg in 2015 tennis mockumentary 7 Days in Hell:
