Ellen, who is known for catching her guests off-guard, said: "I wish Lisa Kudrow was here because that would be fun". Kudrow, who plays Phoebe on Friends, then walked onstage to surprise the audience and Courteney Cox.

Kudrow joined the interview to pose for Courteney Cox's first Instagram photo. She captioned it: "Hello Instagram! I'm here with a little help from my friends".

Since its final episode aired 15 years ago, Friends has been the subject of multiple cast reunion speculations. Although Ellen didn't manage to get the full gang back together, Friends fans were overjoyed to see the mini reunion.
