Jennifer Aniston brought laughter and nostalgia to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as she opened up about her time on Friends, her love for dogs, and even a surprising story from Colbert himself. The conversation delighted fans with a mix of behind-the-scenes trivia and heartfelt reflections.
Aniston recalled her rescue dog Norman, who once appeared on Friends before she adopted him. Norman had been dismissed by animal trainers for being too stubborn, but he became one of Aniston’s most beloved companions until his passing in 2011. She shared how deeply connected she felt to him, even keeping his memory alive with a tattoo of his name on her foot. Aniston also mentioned her current rescue dogs, Lord Chesterfield and Clyde, highlighting her lifelong passion for adopting animals.
Adding to the fun, Colbert revealed that he once auditioned for a role on Friends. Though he didn’t specify which part, Aniston jokingly asked if it had been Joey Tribbiani. Colbert laughed it off, saying, “I am not that good,” leaving the audience amused at the thought of how different the sitcom might have been.
The segment was more than just playful banter—it gave fans an intimate look at Aniston’s life beyond the spotlight and reminded viewers why Friends remains such a cultural touchstone. Between Colbert’s humor and Aniston’s warmth, the late-night exchange was both funny and touching, blending celebrity stories with heartfelt moments.
