David Schwimmer Finally Weighed in on the Ross and Rachel ‘Were on a Break’ Debate

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in July 2020. "It's not even a question: They were on a break," he said when asked about the famous plot.

Schwimmer also told Fallon that fans still yell, “You were on a break!” at him, and their opinions are strongly held. "People are so compassionately divided about whether or not they were on a break," he said.

Apparently, they also yell, “Pivot!” at him, which is another iconic Ross moment from the show's 10-year run and a personal favorite of mine.

Schwimmer also recalled how he almost didn't take the part of Ross because of a bad experience on another sitcom but was convinced after the show's creators said they wrote the character with him in mind.
