Friends reunion: Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow in character on Kimmel Jennifer Aniston didnt know what fan fiction was and she didnt seem to know what Jimmy Kimmel had in store for her. Touting his Friends fan fiction and convincing Aniston to read lines with him, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host staged a Friends reunion by bringing out her former co-stars Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow. Also from TheWrap: Jennifer Aniston, Jon Hamm and Will Ferrell Headlining Stand Up to Cancer Telecast Clearly uncomfortable as the scene was unfolding, Aniston said that she had to draw the line at wearing a wig of her infamous hairstyle, The Rachel. She was already overwhelmed by Kimmel s painstakingly detailed replica of the Friends kitchen. Or maybe she was in on it the whole time, as seemed more and more evident by the end of the five-minute skit. Seated at the kitchen table, Aniston and Kimmel began reading lines with him in the role of David Schwimmers Ross. And apparently this was The One About How Great Ross Is at Lovemaking. As they worked their way through the lines, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow joined the scene one by one -- as Monica and Phoebe , respectively -- each with a script and reading awkward lines about what a great lover Ross is. Also read: Cougar Town Renewed by TBS for Sixth and Final Season Kimmel even had a button to trigger a laugh track at lines that were supposed to be funny, like when Monica lamented that she was Ross sister and thus couldnt make love to him. The women were hilariously uncomfortable throughout the entire skit. Kimmel explained the absence of Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc in the scene by saying that they were dead. Unfortunately, the women all left before he could get to the 22 pages of lovemaking in the script. The surprise reunion comes before next months 20th anniversary of the classic NBC sitcoms premiere. Next month will also see the revival of another classic set from Friends as Central Perk will come to life as a pop-up replica in New York City. It will feature props from the show, free cups of Eight OClock Coffee, live renditions of Phoebes awful Smelly Cat , and even James Michael Tayler, who portrayed the barista Gunther on the show. https://youtube/watch?v=i4H2JHp5XOQ
