The Morning Show is a beast to film, says Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston finds The Morning Show to be "a beast to film". The 56-year-old actress stars in, and executive produces, the hit drama series alongside Reese Witherspoon, and Jennifer admits that making the TV show is a draining experience. The Hollywood star - who played Rachel Green in Friends from 1994 until 2004 - told People: "The Morning Show is just a beast to film. It is layered, it's complicated, it's emotional, it hits on a lot of topics and current events, so let's just say, it's not Friends." Jennifer and Reese, 49, have adopted a very hands-on approach to the show. But Jennifer appreciates having the support of an "incredible team" behind her. She said: "We're involved in every single aspect of the show, on top of just the performance side, which is a big piece of it. But I've got incredible support, and we have such an incredible team." Meanwhile, Jennifer recently revealed that she would love to reprise the role of Dr. Julia Harris from the Horrible Bosses movies. The actress believes "comedy is a necessity" in life, and she cited the Horrible Bosses film franchise as the project that she would most like to revisit in her career. Asked which past project she'd like to revive, Jennifer told People: "Horrible Bosses. Jason Bateman and I were talking about that, and Charlie Day has been talking about it a lot too. So that's something that we think would be super fun. "The characters are hilarious, and we need comedy. I personally think comedy is a necessity. "That's one that we would have a really fun time, I think, going back to, seeing where those crazy cats are today." Jennifer has enjoyed huge success in her career, including starring in Friends, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. But the actress has one career goal that she still hopes to achieve. Jennifer shared: "I definitely want to do a Broadway play. That's on my bucket list, but it's finding the time and finding the right piece, the right material. "But I absolutely have to do a play on Broadway."

Hitting on Mary Tyler Moore Launched Charlie Day's Career
Charlie Day is obviously best known for playing beloved degenerate Charlie Kelly on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But the actor has appeared in a number of other notable movies and TV shows, including Horrible Bosses, Fool's Paradise and one episode of Law & Order — although he only had a very small part as a helpful witness, unlike Mac, who somehow landed a juicy teen murderer role. But Day's first ever on-screen acting job was in Mary & Rhoda. The 2000 TV movie began as a pilot for a planned reboot of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but CBS ultimately passed on the 'updated' version. 'If you loved The Mary Tyler Moore Show, stay away from Mary & Rhoda,' one review read. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Day recalled that the role was limited to just one line. His character, named 'Mailroom Kid,' simply had to tell Moore's Mary Richards that she's 'looking fine.' But Day clearly misunderstood the assignment. 'I thought it was supposed to be done sort of sarcastically, cause I'm 20 years old,' Day explained. 'Something like, 'Eh, looking fine, lady.'' When asked how old Moore was at the time, Day replied, 'Seventy… thousand. I don't know.' 'I get down to set, and the director's like, 'So you're really kind of hitting on her,'' Day continued. 'And so I had to do it completely differently.' Clearly pretending to come onto a TV legend in a failed pilot no one remembers worked out great. 'It launched my whole career. I took off!' Day proudly declared. While Day has since become a famous, tuxedo-owning actor, he did entertain taking a similarly minuscule role after being asked to audition for an acclaimed filmmaker. 'It was for something David Fincher was making,' Day told Kimmel. 'But the part was one line. And I was thinking, 'I'm past this.'' But he decided to read for the part anyway, even though the whole job was just to say, 'Heads. No tails!' while someone else flipped a coin. According to Day, the casting director was surprised to see a familiar face trying out for a job that ranked only slightly above 'background extra.' Based on Day's description, the project was likely Mank, Fincher's 2020 biopic about Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz. And the character was probably legendary Hollywood comedian and singer Eddie Cantor. So, even though the part was small, casting a well-known comic actor would have actually made sense. Unfortunately, Day didn't get the gig that he thought was beneath him. Maybe he can return the favor and invite Fincher to apply to guest-direct an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

The movie star said: "I haven't been told you're going to have to lay down and [get intimate with an actor for a chemistry test], and if asked, I would never."
