In the season finale in season 6 Rachel says that a person named Tenille had been looking for Joey. I understand that Tenille is a famous Amercan person, but I've never heard of him or her (I live in Europe, what can I say? <g>). What is Rachel referring to?
Tenille

One half of Captain & Tennille, a cheesy US pop group from the 70's. The "Captain" wore an outfit similar to Joey's "boat commander" garb when he performed.

Were they cheesy? Do That To Me One More Time is the only song I remember off the top of my head, and that was reasonably good, in a lounge-y kind of way.
(re: The Cpt. & Tenille)
2 words: "Muskrat Love" ~~Steven
Ross: You like it, right? Mon: Absolutely. I like it even more on you that I did on Col. Sanders. (Ross heads for the door) Ross, Ross... I was kidding! What were you going to tell us? Rachel: Oh, was it how you invented the cotton gin? Ross: OK, Good-bye.

They were all cheesy songs, but *very* popular.
I believe this was the ep where Joey bid on the boat...he came in dressed like a captain, didn't he? Sorry i don't know the ep name. However, Captain & Tenille were a singing due on the 70's. Captain always dressed like a captain. So when Rachel saw Joey dressed as Captain, she made the Tenille crack.

Toni Tennille, with her husband Daryl Dragon, formed a pop duo called "The Captain and Tennille" in 1974, becoming one of the most successful duos in pop history, with eleven gold records and three platinums. Since 1984, Toni has been an acclaimed singer with big bands and ten symphony orchestras. She has also written several hit records, and achieved huge success on the stage.
Friends has had a Tennille joke before. In 309 "TOW the Football", Joey says "Alright, we have to pick captains" so Chandler quips "And then Tennilles."

Joey was wearing a captain's hat. Back in the 70's, there was a fairly successful husband & wife singing duo called "The Captain and Tenille." Tenille was the wife; her husband sported a captain's hat (like Joey's), thus the nickname. A quick search with Yahoo turned this site up:

BTW, without checking the script index, I believe it was Chandler who said it to Joey, but that's picking nits.

Not to pick nits Michael, but Ariel was quite correct, Rachel said it.
You're thinking of Chandler's Tennille joke in 309 "TOW the Football".

"Michael

Football".
You are, of course, correct, sir!
If I may plead understanding, I did couch my language in the original post with "I believe," because I wasn't _entirely_ certain. But thanks for the pointer! :-)

Thanks for the answers, you guys! BTW, I knew I had heard about Tenille in some other episode as well, I just didn't remember which one. Thanks for clearing that up, Tennant! :)

No, but Chandler was saying "I was making a coconut phone with the professor". Thanks anyway. :)
