Every so often,\u00a0its drawings and words would change. This was thanks to <strong>Paul Swain<\/strong>\u2014an electrician on the crew who would add fun little sketches to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I stole it and gave it to him, so he&#8217;s got it.

He also said he took the foosball from Joey and Chandler&#8217;s foosball table. He now keeps it in his toolbox. He also joked he took a &#8220;ton of cash&#8221; from the show&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t fit the couch in my car,&#8221; he quipped.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"61.5\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>Friends<\/em> premiered back in 1994, but LeBlanc still remembered his audition like it was yesterday.

However, he figured he had the role in the bag after the other actor came in dressed like a cowboy\u2014a far cry from Joey&#8217;s persona.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was like, \u2018Well, one of us is way off base,'&#8221; LeBlanc recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"56.976851851852\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"12.865740740741\">\n<p>Even after almost two decades, fans still can&#8217;t get enough of the show.
