James Burrows has been the man behind the camera for 999 episodes. His directing work has put him behind the cameras for iconic series such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Taxi, Cheers, Will & Grace, The Big Bang Theory, and now Crowded on NBC. He directed episode 999 earlier this week, and there was a party to celebrate the achievement.

He will direct his 1000th episode starting on Tuesday with a new episode of Crowded. Deadline shared a bit about the production set for Tuesday:

“Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, festivities are being held today with a party following the taping, though there also will be a smaller celebration following the taping of the actual 1,000th episode next Tuesday. I hear the milestone also may be marked with an NBC special, eyed to air in January.”
