Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow want to reunite with Courteney Cox on a new sitcom
Aniston and Kudrow interacted with each other for Variety’s Actors on Actors, marking their second appearance together on the series. They previously participated in 2020 via Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the discussion, the two looked back on their time working together on Friends. While noting how special their experience was, Kudrow expressed interest in making a new sitcom. “I would love to do another one,” she shared. “If anyone wrote a good one. Let’s do it. You heard it here!”
After Aniston asked what it would be about, The Comeback star responded, “Can we do you, me and Courteney [Cox]? What would that be?”
To this, The Morning Show actress suggested a female-centered sitcom, Girlfriends. “Let’s pitch it. Let’s workshop it in front of all of these wonderful people,” she added.
During the interaction, Aniston also pointed out how Kudrow never watched Friends except for when they would have gatherings at one of the main cast members’ homes. The latter responded by acknowledging how those times were “fun.” She added, “And then we got busy… There were whole episodes that I hadn’t seen put together. I just couldn’t sit there at home and have anybody walk by seeing me watching a show that I’m in. Because it felt embarrassing to me.”
Aniston remarked, “That all still feels like yesterday, doesn’t it?” However, Kudrow disagreed, also revealing she has now seen the sitcom, saying she “loved it with all [her] heart.”
The actress then praised everyone’s performance, particularly Aniston’s. “Holy cow! You were really good, Jennifer,” Kudrow told her.
Furthermore, they fondly recalled Friends’ Thanksgiving episodes. The pair praised Brad Pitt’s guest appearance, noting how “hilarious” the episode was. They also highlighted the sitcom’s other guest stars like Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts, remembering how “nervous” they were.
