An annoying trivia question
 

Was asked this yesterday by a friend, i didn't get it.

Who appeared in both, arguably, the most popular American Sitcom of all time and the most popular UK Sitcom of all time?

Im sure someone will jump in within minutes and get it, but i was sat there for nearly an hour trying to work it out, and i still didn't get it :laugh: I could name the sitcoms but that's not how the question was asked, it's suppose to make the question harder.

Ricky Gervais?

John Cleese?

Nah. I know the shows being most popular can be contested, hence the "arguably", but either way they're both up there.

No.

Can you give us an era clue - 80s, 90s, 00s etc?

James Corden.

One started in the 80's, the other in 90's. Both ended in the 00's

No

but did they play a starring role or like a random guest role?

Random guest.

Random guest in both or they starred in one and random in the other?

Random guest in both.

SO Friends is the US one and Only Fools UK?

Yep.

I mean there might have been others who appeared in both, i can't think of any though, but im looking for this specific person.

Hugh Laurie?

I know he appeared in Friends, did he appear in Only Fools? Either way, that's not the person im looking for.

I don't know either :laugh:

Is it an English actor?

I mean, the person is English yes.

So not an actor as such?

Correct.

Richard Branson?

YES!! Nice one :dance: :laugh:

Appeared in Miami Twice (Only Fools) and the London Episode in Friends.

I didn't know if he had been in Only Fools lol - was just thinking who was in the London Friends episode and I had said Hugh Laurie. Once it wasn't an actor - it could only be him .....or Fergie baby!!

Yeah he had an even smaller cameo in Only Fools. I guess he had a 'part' in Friends, and he kinda attempted to act :laugh:
