Jennifer Aniston was making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote her new film, Life Of Crime when Jimmy Kimmel confessed that he is a huge fan of Friends and had written a script of Friends fan fiction for them to take part in. "I loved the show so much I actually wrote some fan fiction. I wrote myself into it as Ross. I was wondering if you could do a scene from it with me?" Kimmel said. The skit was performed on an authentic re-creation of Monica's apartment from the TV series. Aniston seemed a little unwilling to participate at first.
