Joey, Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Phoebe, Monica — and Satan.
The devil controls much of Hollywood and has infected popular shows like Friends with a “very ugly sexual ethic” that corrodes the minds of viewers, former reporter and current Christian author Lee Strobel told Tucker Carlson on Monday.
The former Fox News star seemed to agree with Strobel’s take, saying the town is full of trans kids and people battling drug problems.
“If Satan were smart — which he is — would he go around the country and around the world trying to possess or bother average, everyday people? Well, you know what, [it’s] much more efficient to go to Hollywood and to influence a bunch of people there who are very influential in, let’s say, the entertainment industry,” Strobel said. “And let’s say he encourages them to create films and television shows that are funny and that are creative and are fun, but there’s an underlying message to them that there’s a normalization of immoral activity that makes it normal.”
Friends, the hit show that aired on NBC from 1994 to 2004, is a prime example, Strobel argued.
The program “normalizes multiple sexual partners and that sort of thing — the kind of thing that Satan would love to inculcate into American culture.” He added Friends attracted viewers to “the occult” and “immoral activity” by having characters like Monica, who was played by Courteney Cox, have sex with other characters after a first date.
Carlson joked he was the “only American” who has never watched Friends, but he appeared to agree with Strobel’s larger point about Hollywood.
“I know a lot of people in Hollywood — a lot of people I like, actually — [there are] not too many happy people,” Carlson said. “People really tormented. A real string of wrecked relationships — kids who hate them, trans kids, drug problems. Like, there’s so much of that.”
Strobel is a former reporter and editor for The Chicago Tribune and other papers. He worked in journalism for 14 years, before he started writing books about Christianity. He is a former atheist who converted to Christianity in the early ’80s, and has since written more than 40 books, according to his website.

Carlson recently teased an upcoming series that argues there was a “cover-up” of the real story of the 9/11 attacks — which led to some mockery from other media figures.
