Local Friends Featured on HBO Max’s Newest Game Show, ‘Fast Friends’
By Michelle Glicksman | December 24, 2024
It’s been 30 years since the iconic show Friends debuted. Now, Michelle Keoghan and Suzanne Theune were given the chance to prove how much of a superfan they each are by putting their knowledge of the show to the test in HBO Max’s new game show, Fast Friends.
The show, hosted by comedian, Whitney Cummings, premiered its first four episodes on Dec. 19. New episodes are now debuting weekly through Jan. 9.
Best friends Keoghan and Theune, who met nine years ago while working at a salon and now co-own Shag Salon Scottsdale, took the lead as the round one winners, and are headed straight to the Jan. 9 finale.
The show challenges fans to relive iconic moments from the show, race through the show’s sets, and compete in trivia and puzzles to become the ultimate Friends fan. It was filmed at The Friends’ Experience: The One in New York City.
“Suzanne and I are straight-up ’90s girls, and we grew up living and breathing this show like it was our real lives,” says Keoghan. “I had always wanted to be on a game show and when we heard about Fast Friends, we knew we had to sign up. We really related to the show’s arc and say Friends was our blueprint in the ’90s.”
Keoghan and Theune will host a free finale viewing party at Shag Salon Scottsdale on Jan. 9 from 5 to 8 p.m.
