The punchline character was a mystery man, but not quite as much of a mystery as the man who brought him to life. The actor remained uncredited and his identity was never revealed — until now!

On social media, longtime "Friends" fans rejoiced at the news.

Haugen, who had done a variety of bit parts on sitcoms back in the day, decided to stay "mellow" about his involvement with the show because that's what Warner Bros. wanted at the time — and what a time it was.
