It wasn't friends...it was Sydney, Valerie's show. The set he was in looked just like the coffee shop from Friends, maybe that's the confusion.

It was 'Cafe Americain'. Basically, it was an attempt at 'Cheers' in Paris.
Eddie played a street musician that Val's character kicked out of the cafe.

That's right !! Good lookin out !

I can still see it it my head.....it was pretty funny. Ed seemed a little out of his element.

Gawd, I totally forgot about that appearance.

Anybody got a You Tube clip of that?

I would love to see a clip of him on that show. I forget, you can get anything on YouTube now. When I rediscovered VH a couple of years ago, I read everything I could get my hands on as far as EVH - well, as far as the mainstream stuff. It said that he made a guest appearance on Cafe (a show I never even knew existed), and was a caller on Fraser. It would be alot of fun to see/hear those clips. It's hard to imagine him acting. Oh, and he was in a skit on SNL? I saw the clip of him playing on that show, but not of him in one of the skits. Anybody get their hands on this stuff?

Anybody who preserved Cafe Americain on video all these years would be a true die-hard.

I do have the episode somewhere in a box full of VHS tapes that are unlabeled. Eddie spoke something in Dutch when Val confronted him in the episode, just before she thru him out of the cafe. Something tells me that scene wasn't too much of a stretch for the two of them....ha!

**forrestjump** · 01.14.07, 09:54 PM

Thanks guys...you all rule!!!...hey if VH plays vegas this summer, you guys coming out here to see them???? Let me know.
Think about it....it definately is a great place to see them....My wife and I saw first night show at the Mandalay Bay.

"Hey Eddie, How yoooou doin'?"

Could Eddie be any cooler?

Ross: Homo-habilus was erect, Australopithicus was never fully erect!

Chandler: Well, maybe he was nervous.

Although Eddie didn't appear on Friends, they did mention Van Halen on the last season of the show.. Joey got some stuff back from her ex-girlfriend and in that stuff there was a Van Halen cd...

I recall the NBC (correct?) commercial for Val's show where she was getting pissed at the guy in the cafe--"It's her real life husband Eddie Van Halen!" Never saw the episode...

Search the 'Tube' thread to find links to the SNL skit.

Van Halen was also mentioned once in Cheers. Sam was going to date Mr. Hill's (Melville's owner) daughter, and when investigating her suitcase he asked why the initials on it were "VH." Sam said: "Well that suitcase used to belong to Van... Halen."
