Courteney Cox has recently revealed how she really feels about the time she hosted Saturday Night Live (SNL).
Cox spoke on an interview on The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM alongside her Friends co-stars, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
Looking back on her SNL debut, Cox feels as though she was nowhere near as confident as she could have been to do the show. She said, “I was not near confident enough to do that show. I mean, now I’d love to do it. And you know, no one’s asking me to do it, but man, I was too young.”
She was also asked on the skit’s opening bit, in which she parodies the Bruce Springsteen film clip for ‘Dancing In The Dark’ of course, which she appeared in back in the ’80s.
Cox said, “I think the opening skit, even though I was nervous, was really kind of funny because Adam Sandler and I, we were doing a takeoff on the Bruce Springsteen video.”
Overall she says, “It was great cast members, and it was fun, but I definitely can see the nerves and the panic.”
She continued, “If it worked even this much – I’m putting my hands up half an inch – that would be… I don’t think it worked that well. But I loved it. It was fun.”
While Friends has technically never not been relevant, this year it has been ever more so – what with the whole reunion and all.
The highly anticipated reunion special released earlier this year, seeing a crazy amount of bombshells being dropped, a lot of criticism as well as the cast members sharing many pieces of intel many had speculated on, but never before revealed.
For example, Jennifer Aniston’s off-screen romance with David Schwimmer and of course, why there will never be a Friends reboot.
