In the video, Jennifer called Stephen Colbert a 'brilliant actor' and teased, "We're doing some preliminary casting for this fifth season, that we hope happens," adding that she would give Colbert a chance while she had him.
Jennifer quipped, "So I just thought, 'Why not?' You're going to be free next year. Starting in June, you're avail? So I thought maybe you could audition for season 5 of The Morning Show! Isn't that sort of perfect?"
Later, after reading the scripts, Stephen jokingly kept leaning in to kiss Aniston, while she remained hesitant to stop him. Laughing, she said, "That's not in the script. You gotta stick to the script."
