Howard Stern "went there" with Cox during a joint interview this morning with her former co-stars Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston. Asked if her lack of Emmy nominations stuck in her "craw," Cox responded: "Sure. Yeah, it always hurt my feelings. When every single cast member was nominated but me, it definitely hurt my feelings. I was happy for everybody, and then when it was finally like, 'Oh, I'm the only one?' It hurt." Cox, though, was relieved to earn a Golden Globe nomination for Cougar Town. Of the five Friends to earn Emmy nominations for the show, Aniston won one Emmy in five nominations, Kudrow won one Emmy in six nominations, Matt LeBlanc was nominated three times with zero wins, and Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer each earned one nomination without a win.

ALSO:

Jennifer Aniston recalled an unnamed Friends actor who apologized years after having an "attitude" on the set: "It was as if they were just too 'above' this, to be on a sitcom," Aniston told Howard Stern. "And I remember when we were doing a network run-through, the network and the producers would just laugh. And this person would be like, 'Listen to them, just laughing at their own jokes. So stupid, not even funny,'" Aniston recalled. "It was just like, 'What are you doing here? Your attitude, this is not what we're all about. This is a wonderful, warm place to be, and you're coming into our home and just s------- on it.'"
Lisa Kudrow recalled how "fittings" weren't fun on Friends: "It's not that I felt horrible around them," Kudrow told Stern. "Fittings were not fun, that's for sure. "Yeah, I have a different body type. I'm just bigger and sometimes the clothes, when I'd see the show, were so sort of full of volume … it was only this one moment where I hugged both of them but there was no sleeve. It was just like, I enveloped them. I felt like this mountainous thing that swallowed them alive."

Courteney Cox admits earning her first Primetime Emmy nomination for producing Friends: The Reunion is "not exactly the Emmy I was looking for"

Cox, the only Friends star to never earn an acting Emmy nomination, says her nomination for producing the HBO Max special doesn't make her feel vindicated. "Honestly, I am so happy that the reunion has been recognized because I think it's terrific," she tells EW. "(Executive producer) Ben Winston did a great job and all of his crew." But, she adds, "That's not exactly the Emmy I was looking for. I'm being honest with you." ALSO: How Cox got Elton John, Ed Sheeran and Brandi Carlisle to sing "Hold me closer, Tony Danza."
