The world knows our first guest from a little show
called "Friends," but currently I just know her as my landlord.
Please welcome Courteney Cox.
Hi.
Hi Courteney, how are you?
I don't consider me a landlord.
I consider myself your roommate.
Yes, we're roommates.
We don't see each other a lot, but we're roommates.
How am I doing as your roommate?
Well, Ellen, let's just put it this way.
I was really-- first of all, you know, you're my style guru.
So I was nervous about you staying there,
being that I haven't redone it, or-- it's just that I
haven't been there in a year.
So I had it cleaned, and I moved everything
off the right side of the bathroom,
so you'd have your space in the drawers.
And I was just really ready for you.
And then I just-- my assistant went there
the next day after you left-- and just, so how does it look?
Is it OK?
And she's like, yeah, it looks great.
I said, show me around.
And all of a sudden it was like, wait a minute,
Ellen's toothbrush is on my side.
[INAUDIBLE] and I was like where is my makeup?
So essentially, you're a terrible roommate.
You took over my side and your side.
No, that was Portia who took over your side.
I only have one side, and she happened to be there one night.
So I should explain.
I'm not having marital troubles.
So I'm not out of my house because I'm--
I'm not living with Courteney Cox
because I'm kicked out of my house.
So we sold our house here in Beverly Hills,
and I needed a place to stay, and you were kind enough
to say yes, stay at my house.
Your makeup is still there, and it was just one toothbrush
on that side.
But listen, I hope you don't mind,
because I was just making sure--
I was going through some of your drawers and cabinets
last night.
I was just looking for some office supplies.
I'm so sorry, but I have to share what you have,
because people should know who you are, Courteney.
This is-- I filmed this last night.
OK.
Oh.
So, I'm staying at Courteney's house.
She's lovely, of course, everyone knows she's Courteney.
Lovely, great place.
I'm looking for office supplies, you know?
A you do when you're at somebody's house.
So I go to this here, and there's office supplies.
Lots of office supplies.
But what's hidden in here.
Yeah.
"Undies for Two."
[INAUDIBLE] but she's got this.
Then, at the computer, this thing.
Am I being paranoid?
Or does this look like a puppet that looks like me?
I think it does, Ellen.
It does look like a puppet that looks like you.
Yes, that's what I'm saying too.
Courteney, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm so embarrassed.
I didn't think you would go through the cabinets.
I definitely didn't you see that doll I have of you.
Yeah.
Well, look, I know you're a big fan,
and I know you've bought a lot of stuff that looked like me.
I found a lot of stuff, but that was the weirdest.
That was weird, I'm sorry.
You know what I love, is that you have a piano in there,
and you're really good at piano.
I am not, but I've been trying to learn because you have
that cheat sheet of all the chords, which
is a really great way to learn all the chords, where--
anyway.
I tried-- it's way out of tune.
Can you get that tuned?
Yes, you're right.
It's way out of tune, and I'm going
to have it tuned for you this week, I promise.
Thank you very much.
And just move some of your stuff in the closet over a little bit
too.
Oh, OK.
No, no.
Hey, you posted a video playing with--
she's my friend as well, Brandi Carlile, who I love, I adore.
Isn't she brilliant?
She's the most incredible person, not only artist.
Here's Courteney playing with Brandi Carlile.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Yes!
My dream!
I'm literally in chills.
I'm growing hair and that's [BLEEP] up.
It's fantastic.
I was too excited.
I couldn't even finish the song--
I was so excited.
So we actually had met on Instagram-- and by the way,
thank you, because you started my Instagram account a year
and a half ago.
You're welcome.
And you have not been liking my posts,
so I'm just letting you know.
Just look back on it, it's all liked.
We've liked every single thing.
OK, thank you.
Yup.
Anyway, so I met her on Instagram.
She was going to come over right for the pandemic started,
but then the next day the world closed down,
and so she didn't come.
So a year-- actually, a year later, she did.
And she came over, she was so sweet-- her and her wife.
And just greatest people, and all of a sudden my dog
escapes underneath the fence.
It got out to the property next door.
And I'm not sporty, I'm not like--
I just freeze under pressure.
And she just ran over there.
She jumped over the fence, saved my dog.
Then we went upstairs, we had the best time.
We sang, played music, and then she sang a lot.
And then we danced.
It was just the greatest night, but I
will say that was one of my favorite moments ever.
She's just an absolute doll.
Yeah, well that's the beauty about you
being able to play piano.
You can like play with anybody now.
That's incredible, that-- and you know a lot of musicians.
Your boyfriend is-- do you play with Johnny?
Well, sometimes, yeah.
There he is.
I'll play next to him and stuff, but he teaches me songs.
I try to learn a lot of Snow Patrol songs or songs
that he's written.
Like he wrote "Underdog" with Alicia Keys,
and "What About Us" with Pink, so I'd
like to play songs that he's written.
He wrote "What About Us" with Pink?
Yeah.
My God.
That's one of my favorite songs.
He's like the most inspirational, feel-good writer
ever.
Yeah.
Or make you cry.
And you're there with him now, right?
Yeah, I'm in London at his--
we just got this new apartment.
We just moved in yesterday, so there's a lot to do.
Well, I'm glad--
[INAUDIBLE]
I know you were stuck, it was-- y'all were separated for a long
time.
March till when?
December.
Wow.
Beginning of December, like nine months.
Yeah.
That's a long time.
And then you're still-- everything's good.
Everything's good, yeah.
I'm over here, and it's great.
We definitely could use some help, but--
oh!
I do want some help from the condo
too, just while I have you.
But we'll talk about that later.
All right, well, I asked you about one thing
that I want to buy that you didn't get back to me on,
but anyway we'll talk about it later.
Well, now that you like it, there's
no way I'm getting rid of it.
Oh, I should have said I don't like it.
I should have done it in reverse.
Yeah, that's the way it works.
Are you kidding?
Ellen likes it?
I'm Keeping it forever.
Oh, darn it.
What was I thinking?
So, you finished the taping with the "Friends" reunion
a couple of weeks ago.
It was supposed to happen really right when COVID hit,
so it was delayed, but I'm glad it finally happened.
It must have been so fun for all of you to get back together.
It was unbelievable.
It's so emotional.
It's an unscripted reunion, but we got to be on Stage 24
for the first time, all of us, in like--
I forgot how many years.
15 years, or 17 years?
Yeah, so was there stuff that came up that y'all forgot
about?
Oh God, I have the worst memory.
Everything came up that I forgot about.
Yeah.
But it was great.
It was really fun, just that-- we
had a lot of special surprises, and it was fantastic.
It really was.
I mean, it really is so rare and so special to have a show that
you have that kind of chemistry with everybody,
and that y'all had that run, for that amount of years.
And then to come back and do it again-- that's really special.
Do you do you remember this picture that you took,
which was obviously the--
I mean how did that happen, and why?
Whose idea was that to get in?
Well it definitely wasn't mine.
We were in that fountain for a long time.
I don't know who, somebody thought
that would just be really fun.
And let me tell you what happens.
It's not fun to be dancing in the fountain for hours
and hours.
I remember Matthew Perry saying at one point,
and we didn't we didn't know each other
that well at that point, but I remember-- and this
is so Matthew-- he was like, can't remember a time when
I wasn't in this fountain.
[INAUDIBLE] Literally we were just like, oh my God,
how much longer are going to pretend
to love dancing in water.
It was fun, but not really.
Well, why would it take that long to film y'all being
in a fountain?
I think somebody was just keeping you in the fountain
to teach you a lesson.
Yes.
Keep us in the fountain.
Show them.
Yeah, I mean really.
It doesn't-- that's a long time to say the fountain to shoot
something.
I should have directed that.
You would have been out real fast.
I'm sure.
You posted a video of you and Jenn This
was a while ago playing pool.
And she's-- by the way, when you said you're not athletic--
you're very athletic.
You're a great tennis player.
You're very athletic, but you just
didn't want to jump over a fence to save your dog.
But Jenn is good at many things, and she is a horrible pool
player.
That's so true.
She's terrible.
How can-- she cannot hit a ball.
What a talented girl.
Yes.
And you're right, I am kind of sporty.
I can play tennis, and I can play pool.
And saving-- I just panic, I guess.
Good thing Brandi was there.
Your dog would have still been on the other side
of that fence.
Oh my God, I hope not.
Just going, I watch her play tennis every day,
and she's not going to jump over a fence to save me.
What?
Your show, "9 Months" is back for a third season.
For people who don't know, tell everybody what it's about,
and especially this season, you tackle a lot
of really difficult subjects.
"Nine Months" is a show where we find couples--
people that are having children, trying to get pregnant,
or who recently found that they are pregnant--
and we follow them.
They film themselves, so you get a really honest, intimate look
at the journey of pregnancy.
And this season, I think we're going to show
this clip of Illyana and Ross.
It's a couple-- they're struggling with the fact
that they might have a Down syndrome child.
And it's just a really very heartfelt show,
and I'm really proud of it
OK, well I think this is the clip that you just described.
Let's show it.
It's confirmed.
Hearing that your child is going to have Down Syndrome,
it totally changes your life.
Are people going to look at our son weird
because he's a different?
Wow, that's amazing.
Yeah, really tough.
And like you said, they--
I mean, all of these couples that you pick
have interesting circumstances.
And they're going through pregnancy
during COVID, which makes everything even harder.
You know, it's one of these things
where I don't like to know what's going
to happen at the very end.
I'll be sent cuts, and I don't want to know.
I like to follow because I'm so invested in them,
and you really pull for these people.
And it's not always positive, and it
can be really depressing, and it can also
be the most wonderful thing.
So I will say it's real talent.
It's not produced in a way--
it's just so honest.
And I think everyone should tune in.
It doesn't matter if you want to have a baby or not.
Yeah, well, but especially if you're having a child--
to know that you're not alone, because a lot of these issues
are things that people do not talk about,
and that's why it's important.
Like you said, it's honest, and a lot of things that you see,
they don't really show that.
They hide it, so good for you for doing that.
Before we go, you said Coco is 17.
I cannot believe Coco is 17.
That's crazy.
I mean, she's in school.
Oh, there she is.
I miss her already.
She's in school.
She just got back to school last Monday.
She was kind of panicked about it.
But I'm so glad.
I mean, I started coming out saying,
OK, you're going to go into a different room
to do your schoolwork.
You're not going to be doing your bedroom.
Like just wake up get your computer, and go into another--
No.
She spent the entire nine months or year in her bedroom.
She had like, in her bed, that was her schoolwork.
And I'm just I'm just so glad that's over.
Yeah.
That part.
Yeah, I think a lot of people are for many reasons
glad their kids are back in school.
Yeah.
Right.
So, it was great talking to you.
I'll go home and clean up tonight.
How was it, are you happy?
I'm very happy.
I love it.
I'm staying forever.
You can't get rid of me now.
