Ellen stages Friends reunion with Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow reconvening on Central Perk-style set

Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow staged a Friends reunion of sorts on Ellen DeGeneres's show.

Cox was telling DeGeneres on Tuesday that she had decided to make her Instagram debut, after staying off the social media platform so far.

For her first ever Instagram post, DeGeneres brought in a set strongly resembling the iconic Central Perk coffee shop featured in the sitcom.

Cox and DeGeneres sat together and posed for photos before the host declared: "I wish Lisa Kudrow was here."

Naturally, Kudrow stepped in, joining her former co-star and the TV host as the audience erupted in cheers.

"I wish you had your guitar here. That would be fun," DeGeneres told Kudrow in reference to her character Phoebe's preferred musical instrument.

"Wouldn't it? But who would play it?" Kudrow quipped in response.

She then told Cox: "I wanted to be there for you" – an allusion, of course, to the well-known Friends theme song by The Rembrandts.

Cox has followed through on her plans to create the Instagram handle @CourteneyCoxOfficial and has posted her first photo – a snap of herself with Kudrow and DeGeneres taken during the segment.
