American sitcom 'Joey', the spin-off of 'Friends', will run for at least nine more episodes.

Television channel NBC gave the green light to produce at least nine more episodes of the programme after it became the US's top-rated new comedy.

'Joey' stars Matt LeBlanc who reprises his 'Friends' role as the dim but loveable actor Joey Tribbiani and follows his life as he tries to make it big in Los Angeles.

Drea de Matteo, who won an Emmy Award for her role on 'The Sopranos', co-stars as Joey's hairstylist sister.
