#7: She Turned Down SNL For Friends

Before landing her iconic role on Friends, Jennifer Aniston was offered a spot as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. At the time, she had already filmed the pilot for Friends, but the show had not yet aired.

Lorne Michaels, the creator of SNL, invited her to join the sketch comedy series, but she declined the opportunity. She believed in the potential of Friends and felt that it was a better fit for her comedic style. Her decision paid off—Friends became a global phenomenon and launched her into superstardom.
