It took almost three decades, but Courteney Cox finally got an Emmy nomination for “Friends.”

More specifically, the HBO Max special “Friends: The Reunion” received a variety special (pre-recorded) nom from the Television Academy on Tuesday. Cox was one of the executive producers alongside the original show’s creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane and cast members Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, which resulted in the accolade.

During the NBC sitcom’s decade-long original run, the series nabbed 62 total Emmy nominations. Five of these were for Aniston, who was twice nominated in the supporting comedy actress category (in 2000 and 2001) before moving to the lead comedy actress category, in which she picked up noms from 2002 to 2004, winning in 2002. Kudrow scored a whopping six noms during the 10 years the show was on the air, all in the supporting comedy actress category, winning in 1998. LeBlanc was celebrated...

Facebook Watch’s “9 Months With Courteney Cox” premieres its second-season finale Thursday, capping another season that was self-shot by the pregnant subjects in what executive producer Ari Mark calls an “experimental production model.”

“Even though the series is very much self-shot, we still rely on a team of producers to manage the couples and embed in their day-to-day,” Mark told TheWrap ahead of the finale for the show, which had the benefit of already being largely self-shot before the coronavirus pandemic hit and halted so much other television production. “So when the pandemic shut down the face-to-face producing we had to rely even more heavily on our very own experimental production model. Ensuring families self-shot correctly, beefing up our post-production system and training to ingest and organize thousands of hours of footage, not to mention remote editing…”

Mark, co-founder of Ample Entertainment, went on, “We had to bet on...

Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow might not be on Friends together anymore, but fortunately Ellen DeGeneres managed too give us all the next best thing: a surprise reunion between the two stars on her talk show on Tuesday. Ok, Ok - to be fair, the next best thing would be a Friends movie, right? But since that's not happening, we'll take any moment between the former stars that we can get.

Cox stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote her new Facebook Watch series, 9 Months with Courteney Cox, but of course DeGeneres couldn't let her leave the set without setting up an Instagram, à la Julia Roberts. While no giant fake boobs were involved in this segment, Cox did get the best photo to use as her very first Instagram post: a shot of her, DeGeneres, and - surprise! - Kudrow, sitting on the iconic Friends couch from Central Perk.
