Contestant Chris was asked: "In the sitcom ‘Friends’ which character is a palaeontologist?"

He corrected answered that it was Ross, earning himself £4,000.

Jeremy then mused out loud: “Monica was a chef, Rachel works in fashion, Joey was an actor.

“I don’t know whatever happened to the character who played Joey. Disappeared without a trace… poor man.”

Matt LeBlanc took over Top Gear - alongside Virgin Radio's Chris Evans - when Jeremy, James May and Richard Hammond left in 2015.

The trio moved over to Amazon Prime after the BBC, fronting a lavish new car show called The Grand Tour.

Matt stayed with Top Gear until 2019, before saying he was quitting after finding it difficult to spend so much time away from his home in the US.

Jeremy is currently filming a new celebrity series of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, with Harry Redknapp revealed to beone of the contestants.
