Ellen DeGeneres orchestrates a surprise ‘Friends’ reunion

‘Ellen’ surprises Courteney Cox with a mini ‘Friends’ reunion and a fake Central Perk.

Courteney Cox sat down with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to promote Nine Months – a new Facebook Watch series documenting the pregnancy cycle of a diverse group of couples throughout the United States – talk about Instagram, and have an unexpected mini reunion with Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow.

During the January 29 edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen came up with the genius idea of launching Cox’s Instagram account on the big orange couch in front of a fake Central Perk set.

When Ellen mentioned that it’d be even better if Phoebe was in the photo too, Lisa Kudrow popped up to join Courteney for an impromptu Friends reunion.

The crowd began to cheer as the show’s iconic theme song “I’ll be There For You” by The Rembrandts blasted from the speakers while Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay, the guitar-playing eccentric wildcard with a heart of gold, walked out to the audience’s amazement.

“Well, I wanted to be there for you,” Kudrow joked, making an obvious reference to the Friends theme song, as Cox groaned in recognition.

“This is my first Instagram post” said Cox, posing with DeGeneres and her former costar on the iconic burnt orange couch. “It’s downhill after this.”
