Jennifer Anistonis feeling all sorts of emotions during the farewell season ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show.
In a sneak peek of the upcoming final season premiere ofEllen DeGeneres' eponymous talk show, theFriendsalum, 52, can’t help but to get a little teary-eyed as she takes the stage for her 19th appearance on the long-running series.
Wearing a one-shoulder jumpsuit, a visibly emotional Aniston greets DeGeneres, 63, with a hug before the comedian hands her a tissue.
“What the hell? This isn’t supposed to be emotional,” Aniston quips as she dabs her eye with the tissue. “It’s not even over.”
“No, it’s not. It’s just starting,” DeGeneres replies, noting that Aniston is the first guest on her talk show’s final season.

“I was going to stop after season 16. That was going to be my last season, and they wanted to sign for four more years and I said I’d sign maybe for one,” she continued. “They were saying there was no way to sign for one. ‘We can’t do that with the affiliates and the stations need more of a commitment.'”
