"David Schwimmer" Responds to Comments That He's Responsible for Delaying a Friends Reunion—Watch Now!

He just wants Rach to say she loves him

After Courteney Cox hinted that David Schwimmer is the reasons we haven't been blessed with a Friends reunion yet, Ross decided to respond...or should we say, "Ross."

Jimmy Fallon wanted to get to the bottom of the great Friends reunion debate, so he decided to call "Schwimmer" AKA someone pretending to be Jennifer Aniston's fictional better half, to get an answer Thursday. When he got ahold of fake Schwimmer, it was like a blast from the past.

"Hiiiii," said fake Schwimmer, imitating Ross' famous dolorous-sounding greeting.

When The Tonight Show host asked if what Cox has alluded to was true, the voice on the phone gave an answer that wasn't too helpful. It did, however, send us back to the late '90s.

"I don't know," he said, "But I do know that I love you, Rach."

Cue the hysterical laughter from the audience. Fallon, confused by his pal's response, asked him one more time whether or not it was true that he was the hold up for the reunion we've all been dying for.

"Well, do you have anything you want to tell me?" Schwimmer continued to ask Fallon, who he pretended was Rachel. "Oh c'mon just say it. Tell me you love me, Rach."

"Just say it," he implored.

When Fallon finally gave into his wishes, Schwimmer immediately burst out laughing. "Chandler, Joey, Phoebs, Rach, did you hear that? I just tricked Jimmy Fallon into saying he loves me."

Unfortunately, the conversation took place a little too late for Schwimmer—even though he was in Los Angeles and three hours behind New York City—so he had to go to sleep. But by sleep, he meant he would "turn off the lights" but kept on talking. Naturally, Fallon had to ask how he was sleeping if he were still chatting.

"Just my eyes, Jimmy," he explained (as if that explains anything!)
