Courteney Coxcan’t wait to be reunited with herFriendscastmates!
“So the exciting thing is that we’re all going to get together for the first time, in a room, and actually talk about the show, and it’s going to be on HBO Max, and I’m so excited,”she says in the clip, exclusive to E! News,which was filmed before the news was announced on Friday.
“We’re going to have the best time. It’s going to be great,” she says. “But we really haven’t all done that and actually sat there and talked about and reminisced about this incredible experience that we had. It’s gonna be fantastic.”

For the 55-year-old, the “ideal” reunion justhappened in October, when the cast got together at her home for dinner.
“The ideal for me — and we just actually recently did this, and it took forever. I don’t know how many years it was, maybe 15 years — and we finally all got together and had dinner,” Cox tells Nealon. “And when we get together, which is never … it just doesn’t happen very often, like twice since we ended the show — it’s just the most fun. We laugh so hard.”
In addition to the show being personally meaningful to Cox, she also recognizes the impactFriendshas had on viewers.
“I’m so thrilled that I was on a show that people actually learned how to speak English because they watched the show,” Cox tells Nealon. “It’s just touched so many people’s lives.”
During the hiking interview, the actress also candidly spoke about hostingSaturday Night Liveduring her first year onFriends.

“I hostedSNLthe first year I was onFriends, but guess what, I was way too green,” she admits. “I should’ve done it like year five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. I was horrible! I was so green. I was so nervous. I could do it now, I’d love to do it, but no one wants me to do it.”
To announce the upcoming HBO Max reunion,Cox,Aniston,Kudrow,PerryandSchwimmerall posted the same cast photo to their respective Instagram accounts while LeBlanc jokingly posted aMASHcastphoto.
