David Schwimmer is hoping his talent is enough to put British kids to sleep.

But totally in a good way, of course.

The “Friends” star recorded a segment for the “CBeebies Bedtime Stories” show.

CBeebies is a channel in the United Kingdom designed for kids, kind of like our Nickelodeon or Disney Channel. The final segment of every broadcast day is a bedtime story, done by a guest reader. Notable celebs that have read stories include Chris Evans, Elton John, Dolly Parton and David Hasselhoff.

And now, Ross Geller himself.

David Schwimmer reads a #CBeebies #BedtimeStory as…

In the segment, Schwimmer, 53, reads “The Smeds and the Smoos” by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

According to a description on Amazon, “The Smeds (who are red) never mix with the Smoos (who are blue). So when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love, their families strongly disapprove. But peace is restored and love conquers all in this happiest of love stories. There’s even a gorgeous purple baby to celebrate.”

And from the preview, it looks like a winner.

Unfortunately for American audiences, the show will air only overseas at first — set for 6:50 p.m. (London time) on Feb. 22. However, it’s more than likely the full clip will work its way online someplace.

But don’t lose any sleep over it.
