The BBC is understood to be negotiating with former Friends star LeBlanc – thought to be keen to remain on the show – for a second series.

Chris Evans leaves 'Top Gear' after five episodes
One of Top Gear's new hosts has left the show after five episodes.
British TV personality and producer Chris Evans announced Monday he's departing the popular auto show. "Stepping down from Top Gear," he tweeted. "Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best."
"Chris is stepping down from his duties on Top Gear," the BBC said in a statement. "He says he gave it his best shot doing everything he could to make the show a success. He firmly believes that the right people remain, on both the production team and presenting team to take the show forward and make it the hit we want it to be."
"I have never worked with a more committed and driven team than the team I have worked with over the last twelve months," Evans added in a statement of his own, via the BBC. "I feel like my standing aside is the single best thing I can now do to help the cause. I remain a huge fan of the show, always have been, always will be. I will continue to focus on my radio show and the allied events that it encompasses."
