  • June 5, 2019

Jennifer Aniston, the ever-popular actress who played Rachel Green in the iconic show Friends, and the Queen of Culinary, Ayesha Curry, made an appearance together on The Ellen DeGeneres Show's season 17, episode 99. The episode opened with Ellen discussing her experience of watching the much-awaited Friends Reunion on HBO Max. As expected, she was thrilled to see Jennifer and couldn't wait to chat with her about it.

Jennifer Aniston started the interview by confessing how nervous she was about Friends Reunion, and how much she had waited for it. She shared how emotional the entire event was, and how it was akin to traveling back in time. Jennifer also talked about how much she missed being on the show and the wholesome experience it was. She revealed how the producers had to use a new technology to bring up her memory bubble as she couldn't remember anything right away.

Ellen transitioned to Jennifer's Netflix venture- "the Morning Show"- which is due for its second season soon. Jennifer teased the show, and even revealed that Reese Witherspoon's character has a sex scene in it. In prudish retort, Ellen expressed shock, to which Aniston sarcastically replied, "Oh, you mean you've never had one?". Ellen quickly changed the subject and amusingly discussed how Jen's dog, Clyde, poops on her patio.

The conversation then moved onto Ayesha Curry, the celebrated chef and entrepreneur, who appeared on The Ellen Show dressed as a crab. She talked about her popular Youtube Channel, "Cooking With Ayesha Curry," which is all about cooking easy meals at home. Ayesha discussed her methodology and how she tries to keep things fun and straightforward in the kitchen so everyone can cook. She even promoted her cookbook, "The Full Plate," and shared an upcoming recipe- a succulent, spicy crab dish.

At this point, Ellen decided to play a fun game with Aniston and Curry called- "The Ellen Cookbook Challenge." Ellen's assistant would yell out instructions, and Jen and Ayesha had to cook it without seeing the ingredients given to them. Both Aniston and Curry were extremely competitive and got creative with their quirky dishes. Ellen, impressed with their creations, even declared them both to be the winners.

The show ended with Jennifer and Ayesha Curry playing a round of "Burning Questions," where they both revealed interesting facts about themselves. Jennifer shared how she pee's in the shower, and Ayesha made a shocking 'never have I ever' revelation- which put her on the hot seat. The Ellen DeGeneres Show season 17, episode 99 was a delightful, light-hearted watch with Jennifer Aniston and Ayesha Curry bringing all the entertainment for the audience.
