Dr. Drake Ramoray lives! Matt LeBlanc reprised his Friends character's character. You know what we mean.

LeBlanc, who currently stars as a fictionalized version of himself on Showtime's Episodes, stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers to discuss the new season of his comedy series and participated in host Seth Meyers' "Distinguished Guests" bit. Friends fans will remember LeBlanc's Joey Tribbiani played the Dr. Drake Ramoray character on Days of Our Lives within the NBC comedy.

The Friends nostalgia is real and amazing.

"Ladies and gentleman, the field of medicine owes a debt of gratitude to this next individual. Famed neurosurgeon Dr. Drake Ramoray is here," Meyers said as the crowd erupted. "Dr. Ramoray is a leader in the field of neuroscience, but is probably best known for falling down an elevator shift in 1996 and being left in a potentially permanent coma with such extensive brain damage that only he himself could treat. However, he was eventually brought back to life after he was given a brain transplant from a female donor, which did of course cause him to act like a woman."

As we're sure you know, the entire 10-season run of Friends made its way to Netflix earlier this month and everybody you know is probably knee-deep in a binge watch. If you're looking for your Friends stars in some modern TV roles check out Episodes, which premieres on Sunday, Jan. 11 at 10:30 p.m. on Showtime, Matthew Perry will appear on Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy on Wednesday, Jan. 14 on Showtime and David Schwimmer will appear in American Crime Story opposite John Travolta on FX later this year. Courteney Cox's Cougar Town is in its final season on TBS, Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. And Kudrow's acclaimed HBO series The Comeback just wrapped its second season in late December.
