With a life that has included working on the one of the biggest US sitcoms ever, making a move to one Britain's best-loved shows and dating Kate Hudson, not to mention starring in the brilliant Episodes, it's hard to pick out just one highlight for Matt LeBlanc.
Joey going commando in ALL of Chandler's clothes and then doing lunges is probably up there with my favourite Joey moments. Also, just to make us all feel old, this clip is 20 years old.

And let's not forget when we all found out that he doesn't like to share food and "JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOD" became a proper catchphrase you could use when people tried to take one of your chips/crisps/whatever.
We can even forgive him for the absolutely shit Friends spin-off Joey, which, to be honest, I'd completely wiped from my memory until I came to write this. Even Matt admitted that the show was doomed to fail from the start.
As well as being part of the most famous group of coffee drinkers of all time, he's been nominated, and won, plenty of awards, including a Golden Globe for best performance by an actor in a comedy television series.

And, then, of course last year he joined Top Gear. It was never going to be easy stepping into the shoes of Clarkson, May and Hammond and the series was pretty much trashed by fans. BUT Matt was clearly the firm favourite and managed to at least attract some fans.
So, for me, the absolute best thing Matt LeBlanc has ever done is refuse to work with Chris Evans, leaving him forced to leave Top Gear.
Thanks for that, Matt.
