Jennifer Aniston Tells Ellen DeGeneres That a ‘Friends’ Reunion is a Possibility

During her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, Jennifer Aniston informed the audience that a Friends reunion is not out of the question—despite what her former cast members have said recently. It’s not a confirmation that the cast of the ’90s smash hit will come together in that giant Manhattan apartment again anytime soon, but it’s the glimmer of hope we’ve been waiting on for 14 years.

DeGeneres and Aniston were discussing her upcoming return to television in a new series with Reese Witherspoon, which is still untitled but will explore behind the scenes of the New York media, specifically morning talk shows. Aniston revealed that the series was already bought for two seasons and will premiere on Apple’s new network.

Once they finished discussing the project and the audience started to applaud, Aniston and DeGeneres clapped along in the rhythm of the Friends theme song, “I’ll Be There for You,” by The Rembrandts.

“That’s the clap from the song,” Aniston told DeGeneres.

“What song?” the host asked.

“The Friends theme song,” Aniston said. After a pause she asked a crew member, “You’ll edit this, right?”

DeGeneres took the opportunity to tell the actress that she and her former cast mates should get together and film a reunion: “Is it a possibility? It is even in the realm of possibilities?”

“Anything is a possibility, Ellen,” Aniston said. “Anything! Right?” She went on to say, “I mean, George Clooney got married! That’s like anything can happen. I think it’s wonderful.”

This is contrary to what some of her former co-stars have said recently after being asked about the trailer for a fake film called Friends: The Movie that went viral. David Schwimmer appeared on Meghan Kelly Today and when Kelly asked about the possibility of a reunion he said he doubts it will ever happen. “Look, the thing is, I just don’t know if I want to see all of us with crutches [and] walkers,” he explained.

Lisa Kudrow was recently a guest on Conan and said that she doesn’t know if a reboot of the show would work. “I mean, that was about people in their 20s, 30s. Well, the show isn’t about people in their 40s, 50s. And if we have the same problems, then that’s just sad,” she said.

Break our hearts, why don’t you? We like Aniston’s answer much better.

Oprah for President in 2020 Is Apparently Not a Far-Fetched Possibility

“Oprah for President” is a campaign that has been wistfully bandied about by her devotees for quite a while now, but after her incredible speech at last night’s Golden Globes, it’s evolved into a matter a little more serious—and it seems like Oprah might be embracing the idea.

#Oprah2020 began trending on Twitter toward the end of the night after she wrapped her passionate acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille Award. The first black woman to be awarded the honor in its 66-year history, her speech—mixing shade at the current administration, tribute to women living in a “culture broken by brutally powerful men,” and some incredibly inspiring words to remind us all that “a new day is on the horizon”—brought the room to its feet.

The L.A. Times found her at her table, where she was sitting with Gayle King and Ava DuVernay (power trio), and asked her about Twitter’s proposed campaign. She smiled, and replied, “OK!”

We’re not entirely sure whether she’s joking there, but the Internet promptly erred on the side of “This speech was her kicking off her campaign”—hence the trending hashtag.

Her partner, Stedman Graham, didn’t do much to damper the excitement, either: The Times asked him whether she would actually, IRL, you’re-not-messing-with-us-are-you run for president, and he replied: “It’s up to the people. She would absolutely do it.” Twitter hype aside, that sounds like a legit, firm response saying “If you want Oprah to be president, she will forge onward and make it so.”

Of course, a few pointed out that, somewhat like the current president, she doesn’t have legislative experience (at least she’s an actual self-made billionaire, though?). One Twitter user gave a different, but incredibly valid, take: “Y’all want #Oprah2020 so bad? Prove it. Spend this year electing Black women to office in 2018. Put in the work. Show some receipts. Then we can talk about the presidency in 2020. Deal?”

Keeping in the spirit of the evening, getting more women in politics—especially women of color in politics—is an incredible way to keep crumbling away at the structure of men who abuse the system and the power they have. Whether or not #Oprah2020 becomes a real thing, turning out on Election Day this year to empower women on the ballots is one thing that will have tangible, lasting impact.
