Finally, the moment ‘Friends’ fans have been waiting for has arrived. Well, sort of, anyway.
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow all proved they were game for a laugh during ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on Wednesday night, taking part in a ‘Friends’ sketch.

The trio were joined by Jimmy, as they read scripts while sitting in a set resembling Monica’s kitchen.
Sadly, though, a full ‘Friends’ reunion is unlikely to happen as numerous members of the cast have stated it simply wouldn’t work.
During a chat with Huff Post UK, Matt Le Blanc gave us three reasons why the fictional pals won’t join forces again.
“'Friends' was covering that specific period of time in people’s lives, when you’ve just left college, and your friends are your family," he explained. "Later on, you don’t lean on your friends as much as you used to, so it really is about a finite period of time.
"Nobody wants to wreck the memory. And I know that all six characters… we all feel exactly the same.”
While there are no plans to reunite professionally, the 'Friends' ladies have all remained, um, friends, and recently enjoyed a night out in LA.
For now, fans will just have to make do with the mini-reunion clip above…

Famously highly-strung, Monica would now have discovered a new zen way of life after raising twin babies with no one but Chandler for company out in the suburbs.The rest of the gang don't come around as much when Chandler's not home, because Monica makes them do shots of wheat grass and listen to whale sounds.

Chandler Bing - Matthew Perry(02 of08)

After moving out to the suburbs with his wife and twin babies, we're expecting Chandler to have really settled down and, would now spend his days leaving work at 5pm sharp, playing catch in his backyard and wondering aloud: "Could I BE anymore of a good dad?" (credit:Getty Images)
Phoebe Buffay - Lisa Kudrow(03 of08)

Now a multi-millionaire after a David Guetta remix of 'Smelly Cat' - featuring vocals from Sia and a guest rap from Pitbull - became an unexpected dance-floor smash. (credit:Getty Images)
Joey Tribbiani - Matt Le Blanc(04 of08)

In 'Friends' spinoff 'Joey' we all saw (because, of course, we all watched it) Joey head off to California to chase his acting dream.Well... unfortunately that didn't work out. We're expecting now that Joey lives in Monica and Chandler's basement. We're also expecting they don't know anything about it. (credit:Getty Images)

Presumably working some class of high-power fashion job in-between raising her 12-year-old daughter (yep, Emma would be 12 now...), we think Rachel would be pretty happy with her lot in life, though we might think twice before talking about Brad Pitt around her... (credit:PA)
Ross Geller - David Schwimmer(06 of08)

Still adamant that he and Rachel were on a break. (credit:Getty Images)
Gunther - James Michael Tyler(07 of08)

Staged a successful protest to stop Central Perk being turned into a Starbucks. He can still occasionally be found in the bushes outside Ross and Rachel's house. You know, for old times' sake. (credit:PA)

Still surprising Monica and Chandler everywhere they go, with a shriek of "OH MY GOD" every single time, of course. (credit:Getty Images)
