Default 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 I could name the sitcoms but that's not how the question was asked, it's suppose to make the question harder.

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

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
