"Y'all should do a Friends reunion," Ellen DeGeneres told Jennifer Aniston in the latest episode of Ellen. "I know people keep asking that."
They do, but Ellen is allowed.
"Is it even in the realm of possibility?" she asked.
"Anything is a possibility," Aniston replied diplomatically. "I mean, George Clooney got married."
The subject of a Friends reunion has been bandied about since the show ended in 2004, but just getting the six core cast members back in the same room has proved to be a challenge. In 2016, five of them reunited for an NBC tribute to TV director James Burrows.
Since Aniston is currently the most high-profile celebrity in the core cast, she has to do the bulk of answering about whether the notorious reunion will happen. She answered the question in 2016 and 2017, both times pointing to the aura of the '90s and that she can't imagine Friends with smart phones. As recently as three days ago, David Schwimmer said he doubted the likelihood, and Matthew Perry once said the reunion is his literal nightmare.
Guys, even Gunther is against it. We may have to let this one go.
Friends is currently streaming on Netflix.
