To mark the occasion, actress and DeGeneres\u2019 close friend Jennifer Aniston came on as a guest in a full-circle moment: the former <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friends<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> star was the first celebrity to ever appear on the show in its debut episode almost 20 years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Oh, where does 19 years go?&#8221; Aniston, who has sat in the chair beside DeGeneres 20 times now, asked. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DeGeneres then asked how Aniston dealt with the ending of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Friends<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in 2004 after its 10-year run with Aniston surprisingly using the question to make a joke about her high-profile divorce from her husband Brad Pitt, which was announced in 2005 after five years of marriage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Well, I got a divorce and went into therapy,&#8221; Aniston quipped. &#8220;Oh! And then I did a movie called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Break-Up.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She continued, \u201cI just kinda leaned into the end. I just was like, &#8216;You know what, guys? Let&#8217;s make this a completely new chapter.
