1.11 Flubs, gaffes, and improvisations (Friends)
One reader asked if the pillow falling from the balcony in TOW George
Stephanopoulis [104] was scripted or a just wonderful flub by JA.
AJ: "The pillow falling thing evolved on the stage. It may have come from
the director, James Burrows or the actors or as a result of all their comic

"Actual flubs are rare, but every so often something unexpected will happen
at a taping that's too precious to pass up. In a recent episode (TOW 5
