Aisha Tyler is getting candid about how she felt appearing on the hit television series “Friends.”<\/a><\/p>\n

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Tyler said she was “petrified” <\/a>when cast to play Charlie Wheeler on the sitcom nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

“The cast was incredibly kind, incredibly welcoming,” the 52-year-old recalled. “My knees were knocking.\u00a0I was shocked you couldn’t hear my teeth chattering the entire time I was on set.<\/p>\n

“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<\/a> just leans in and goes, \u2018Get ready for your life to change.\u2019<\/p>\n

“It was a really sweet,\u00a0kind thing to say to someone who’s just petrified and just trying not to pee on herself a little bit from fear.”<\/p>\n

The former “The Talk” host admitted that co-star Perry “was right” because the series “was the biggest show on television when I got that job.”<\/p>\n

“Sometimes you don’t really know what a job is going to do, how it’s going to change your life. You don’t know if it’s going to be a hit. You don’t even know if it’s going to be good. You’re just there to do your best work,” Tyler said.”But I knew when I got \u2018Friends\u2019 <\/i>that it was a big deal.”<\/p>\n

“Friends” made its debut in 1994.<\/a> The beloved sitcom showcased a group of friends living in the same apartment complex in New York City. Along with Perry, “Friends” starred Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc.<\/p>\n

The show went off the air in 2004 after 10 successful seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the 20th anniversary of her appearance on the show approaches, Tyler considered herself a huge fan and “had\u00a0seen every episode” prior to her audition.<\/p>\n

“I walked onto that set, and I remember I looked out the window to see if I could see, you know, the naked guy across the street,” Tyler joked, referring to the “Ugly Naked Guy” mentioned during the show. “Fortunately, it’s just a hallway back there.”<\/p>\n

Since Tyler was such a big fan, she believed that gave her an advantage.<\/p>\n

“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,” she said. “‘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 \u2018Friends\u2019 joke.”<\/p>\n

Tyler admitted she still gets recognized by fans.<\/p>\n

“It was a massive show<\/a>, a global hit,” she said. “To this day, people come up to me and go, ‘Charlie, Charlie,’ or they just go, \u2018Black Girl from Friends.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
