Friends: 10 Worst Episodes
3. The One With Joey's Interview (Season 8 Episode 19)
Whilst Rachel is reading Soap Opera's Digest, she comes across a crossword puzzle and Joey is an answer to one of the questions. He is excited to tell everyone that he will be interviewed for that magazine and the gang are worried to say the least. They worry that he will say the first mad thing that pops into his head and ruin his credibility. So, they decide to sit nearby during the interview to swoop in if things go wrong.
What sucks: What sucks in this episode is that it proves that, although Joey is hilarious and well played by Matt LeBlanc, he doesn't have the magic to carry a show on his own. Very few episodes are Joey driven and this one should have been a warning to the producers that the Joey show would fall flat on its face.
What didn't suck: Despite screwing up on the last question by saying he didn't enjoy watching soaps, Joey told the gang that he got in touch with the interviewer, Shelley, and fixed it by sleeping with her "a little bit".
