5 years after wrapping up NBC&#039;s Friends

When Jennifer Aniston Wanted to Star in Another Sitcom Just 5 Years After ‘Friends’

The world might forever remember Jennifer Aniston
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jennifer-aniston/] for taking over 90s
fashion with her Friends character, Rachel Green. While the series might have
ended in 2004, the show’s popularity has only been on an upward incline, thanks
to Netflix. Since the show’s end, the actress has focused more on her career in
the Hollywood limelight with movies. However, she once wanted to star in another
beloved sitcom.

After being a lead on the NBC sitcom for 10 years, the now 55-year-old had
shared how she wanted to be a part of a 16-time Emmy-winning series that starred
her The Morning Show co-star, John Hamm.


WHICH SITCOM DID JENNIFER ANISTON WANT TO STAR IN?

In 2009, Jennifer Aniston sat down for an interview with the Daily Express
[https://www.express.co.uk/dayandnight/100452/Jen-is-mad-for-TV-role]. The
actress opened up about the roles she was open to trying out and casually
mentioned that she loved Mad Men. She went on to reveal how that was one cast
that she would love to join. She said, “I would love to be in that, it’s great.
I love the era. I would love it if they offered me a role.”



The BBC show focused on the story of a New York-based advertising agency in the
early 60s. With a lot of screaming and chaos, it went on to become a
fan-favorite show, regardless of all of John Hamm’s profanities. While the 7
season drama has since come to an end, a role in the show could have shown fans
of Aniston a different side to the extremely talented actress.

Although the world might not have been able to see Hamm and Aniston team up on
Mad Men, it looks like everyone got a second chance with the actor joining The
Morning Show.


JOHN HAMM AND JENNIFER ANISTON ON THE MORNING SHOW

In 2019, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon teamed up
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-jennifer-aniston-offers-a-glimpse-behind-the-scenes-photoshoot-fun-with-reese-witherspoon-on-the-morning-show-set/]
to give the world, The Morning Show. While the first 2 seasons went off without
a hitch, the third one seems to have thrown a lot of viewers. Although the
season introduced John Hamm as the Friends star’s love interest, it was not
enough to keep fans hooked on the show. In fact, some even felt that things were
getting a little unhinged.



While the third season might have fallen a little short on fan expectations, one
thing fans are praying for the next season to have is more of Aniston and Hamm’s
on-screen romance. Although everything else about the show might now be sitting
right with viewers, the romance between the two stars has been considered their
best yet.
