While it's not the "Friends" reunion fans were hoping for, it is indeed happening -- and this photo proves it.

"The Big Bang Theory's" Johnny Galecki posted a photo of himself and his co-stars posing with David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow at the taping of NBC's tribute to veteran director James Burrows.

Matthew Perry wasn't able to attend because he's in London rehearsing for the play "The End of Longing," but he's expected to tape a message for the Feb. 21 special.

The two-hour special celebrates the career of Burrows, he recently directed his 1,000th television episode. In addition to "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory," the tribute will feature appearances by the casts of such series as "Taxi," "Frasier," "Will & Grace" and "Cheers."
