The One Call Away singer then launched into When I See You Again, the 2015 Wiz Khalifa song he is featured on.
Puth has said in the past that the song was inspired by the death of his one of his friends.
The How Long singer is a longtime and often vocal fan of the beloved 90s sitcom.
In October 2019, he put his fandom to the test on an episode of Billboard’s Quizzed series.
Courteney Cox, who played Monica Gellar on the series, asked him rapid fire questions about Friends and he got most of them right.
When he was finished, he pulled out a keyboard and played the theme song for her.
That same month, he was a guest on the Ellen DeGeneres Show where he got the chance to meet Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green on the long running and beloved show.
After he and Aniston met, she settled onto the arm of the chair he was sitting on.
He looked up adoringly at her and said: ‘You smell so good.’
