Molly Shannon recently looked back on Jennifer Aniston’s time hosting Saturday Night Live.
For the 50th anniversary of the famous sketch show, the 60-year-old actress talked about working with some of her favourite celebrity hosts.
She did this in a joint interview with Seth Meyers, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Kenan Thompson, and Bowen Yang.
Shannon recalled how the FRIENDS star was “very laid back” and wearing a “big wedding ring” during her appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
The Superstar actress said, "I remember being like, 'Ooh, that's so cool. Jennifer Aniston.’ And she had a big wedding ring on and she was just [an] easygoing professional; [she] had been in television for a long time."
Moving forward, Shannon also talked about working with Cameron Diaz by saying, "During the rehearsal, she would just eat salads, lots of greens. And I was like, 'I want to be like Cameron Diaz and just eat salad.'"
"You know what I mean? Isn't that funny?" the Only Murders in the Building star laughingly added.
For the unversed, Aniston has hosted Saturday Night Live two times; first she hosted in 1999 and then again in 2004.
Notably, when the Just Go with It star first hosted the show, she was engaged to Brad Pitt and wore a diamond and platinum ring.
It is pertinent to mention that Saturday Night Live airs every Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
