One of the most difficult scenes to film for the show was the one where Ben says his first word. Rachel hears it while Ross misses it. In a desperate attempt to hear Ben speak, Ross keeps asking the baby if he can say ‘Dada’. Problem was, the baby kept responding to Schwimmer and saying the word when in the script he was supposed to stay silent.
LAX2194
When the show was being pitched, Matthew Perry had just starred in the pilot of a show called ‘LAX2194’. It was about airport baggage handlers who sort through alien luggage. The show never got picked up, to our relief.
