Further in the interview, Galifianakis took a dig at Pitt’s relationship with actress Jennifer Aniston. The two stars were married between 2000 and 2005. Galifianakis asked him,
“Tell me what it was like the first time that you laid eyes on Angelina. Was it like one of those classical love stories like when Ross first saw Rachel? You know, that show ‘Friends,’ have you seen that?”
In the sitcom FRIENDS, Rachel Green was a character played by Jennifer Aniston, Pitt’s ex-wife. The comedian then played the FRIENDS theme song to make the moment worse.
