MINI: Fictional Dinner Guests

Christian O'Connell's got a wild idea - a dinner party with three fictional TV characters: Tony Soprano, Coach Taylor, and Ted Lasso. He's imagining the hilarious conversations and potential dad-bro bonding between these three. But that's not all - he's also inviting some of his favorite fictional friends, including Phoebe from Friends, Leslie from Parks and Rec, and Fran from The Nanny. Who would get along, who would clash, and what would they talk about? Christian's got a whole crew of fictional characters coming over for a night to remember.
