Michael Rapaport, 53, uniquely tied The Real Housewives of New York City to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's wedding during his guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Sunday, August 13. Rapaport responded to various Bravo-themed queries, sharing his opinion on the lack of enthusiasm shown by the RHONY season 14 cast regarding Erin Lichy's offering of Pringles and caviar.
Rapaport mentioned, "If you ever serve caviar, please inform me, Erin. I have no clue what you all are discussing. At Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's wedding, they had a caviar wall." He added, "I still have some leftover!"
The casual mention of Aniston and Pitt's wedding caught Andy Cohen off guard. "You've been on this show 87 times and we've never discussed Aniston and Pitt's wedding?" he questioned in surprise.
“Well, we dropped it now and I’m still eating the caviar from there — I was shoving it down,” Rapaport responded. “Billy Preston performed. A lot of bucks there.”
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married in 2000, shortly after Michael Rapaport's appearance on Friends as Gary, a police officer who was in a relationship with Phoebe (played by Lisa Kudrow) during season 5.
"They were incredibly pleasant and treated me with utmost kindness," Rapaport shared with We in 2021 regarding his experience on the sitcom. "I was genuinely amazed by their talent. Many assume that success comes effortlessly, but these individuals are remarkably skilled comedic actors."
Despite his lesser experience when compared to Aniston, Kudrow, Cox, LeBlanc, Perry, and Schwimmer, Rapaport felt embraced by the ensemble.

"That was my first stint in a sitcom, and I was completely clueless," he divulged to Us. "But the entire cast and crew were unbelievably gracious. When you're raking in $1 million per week, it naturally uplifts your spirits. I was simply ecstatic to be a part of it. It was an incredible experience."
Rapaport mentioned Aniston and Pitt's relationship, noting that Jennifer was with Brad Pitt during that time. Although Pitt wasn't present on set when Rapaport was, the atmosphere among the cast reflected the expected dynamics. Following their marriage, Aniston and Pitt divorced in 2005. It remains unknown whether they still possess caviar as a leftover from their wedding, similar to Rapaport's reference.
