When Reese Witherspoon met Jennifer Aniston for the first time

Back in 2019, Reese Witherspoon opened up about her admiration for The Murder Mystery actress. Speaking to the Harper’s Bazaar, she revealed the first time they met on the set of FRIENDS. “She was so sweet to me. I marveled at her ability to perform in front of a live audience like that with no nerves. They would change all the lines, and she was just so effortlessly affable, bubbly, and sunny. We’ve been friends ever since,” said Reese. 

The Morning Show also stars Steve Carell, apart from the two actresses, and is inspired by Brian Stelter’s book. It examines the work culture at a network broadcast when the co-anchor faces charges of sexual assault. The show also focuses on geo-political topics and current events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, racial inequity, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, among others. The show’s third season recently premiered in September and has received critical acclaim.
