According to a report by People, Jennifer Aniston was given an opportunity to audition for SNL but she turned it down. Recalling her thought process behind the decision, Jennifer said that she was an ‘ignorant kid’ at that point in time. She went on to say that she was of the assumption that women are not treated ‘well’ on SNL. She also said that she did not want to be the ‘gall’ that she had been then. 

Lisa Kudrow agreed with Aniston and said that the latter knew the ‘work situation’ she was signing up for. She also said that Jennifer was right about her decision. Talking about her own SNL experience, Lisa said that even though she had auditioned for the show, she did not think they were ‘seriously’ looking at her. Instead of Lisa, the actor and comedian, Julia Sweeney was chosen. About this, Kudrow said that she thought that people at SNL might have chosen to look at her only because of Julia. Lisa further said that Laraine Newman was the one who said that they should look at her, too. 

Reminiscing her own SNL experience, Courteney Cox said that she was not too ‘confident’ when she was on SNL. Cox also said that she was too young at that point in time. She also added that she would love to do it now but no one is ‘asking’ her to. Courtney also showered praise on Aniston. She said that she looks up to her and always knows what she wants.
