Matt LeBlanc starred as Joey in Friends. He received three Emmy nominations and residual checks of up to $20,000,000 for his role. Joey featured his goofy Friends character. Joey was aired for two seasons in 2004 before it was cancelled in 2006.
Joeywas unfortunately canceled due to low ratings. Even though the first episode had 18.6 million viewers, the series was not well received by critics. The ratings began to decline, but stayed at 10.1 millions viewers (roughly average for NBC). The show was axed after the ratings dropped to 4.1 millions.
NBC did not air eight episodes of the forty-six total episodes of the spinoff. The ratings for the spin-off were so low that NBC did not want to air them. LeBlanc has a new show called Man with a Plan.
