Zee Café presents Joey

Media News

MUMBAI, July 11

Zee Cafe, the 24-hour English general entertainment channel announces the launch of a fresh comedy hit, Joey. From three executive producers of the phenomenal hit series "Friends" comes the highly anticipated new comedy show "Joey" starting July 12, Wednesday at 9:30 p.m.

Joey says good-bye to a time when his friends were his family and welcomes the chance to turn his family into his friends. After reuniting with his high-strung sister Gina (de Matteo), a strong and sexy hairdresser, Joey shares an apartment with her genius 20-year-old son, graduate student Michael (Costanzo), who literally is a rocket scientist. What Joey lacks in book smarts; he more than makes up for with his people skills, making him the best new friend his nephew could ask for. Joey quickly befriends his hot married neighbour, uptight lawyer Alex Garrett (Anders) who is also the apartment superintendent. All he needs now is for his tough-talking, old school agent, the tact-challenged Bobbie (Coolidge), to get off the casting couch and get him some acting work!

Created by Shana Goldberg-Meehan ("Friends") & Scott Silveri ("Friends"), "Joey" is executive produced by Kevin S. Bright ("Friends"), Goldberg-Meehan and Silveri. Multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG Award nominee Matt LeBlanc reprises his "Friends" role as charming and still-single Joey Tribbiani, who has struck out on his own and moved to Hollywood, hoping to truly make it as an actor. Starring along with LeBlanc ("Charlie's Angels" movies) are Andrea Anders ("The Stepford Wives"), Paulo Costanzo ("Road Trip," "40 Days and 40 Nights"), Jennifer Coolidge ("American Pie" movies, "A Mighty Wind") and Emmy Award winner Drea de Matteo ("The Sopranos," "Swordfish"). From Bright-San Productions, Silver and Gold Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television Production Inc., "Joey" airs on the NBC Television Network.
