The charming Elliot Gould and Christina Pickles - who played Jack and Judy Geller- appeared in the audience during James Cordon’s interview with the cast.
The pair shared how nice the cast was and “very down to earth.”
Christina said: “We really did feel like their parents, in fact we used to worry about them quite a lot.”
She added: “And Elliot said to me ‘we’re behaving like we are really their parents’ and we really did feel like we were because they were so sweet.”
