Low.
1 in 6 to the eighth power. Or around 1 in 10 million.

The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

The reason I ask is that I was playing a game with friends and one of them rolled all 8 dice and they all landed on the same number. He wasnt aiming for that specific number but I was just wondering the odds of it.

1 in 6^7 or 1 in 279,936.
7, not 8 since you dont care WHICH value they all have.

This doesn't seem very impressive when you compare it against the dude that witnessed 18 yos in a row
