Funnywoman Ellen DeGeneres was stunned to have Jennifer Aniston and Justin Timberlake, her first ever guests, appear on the 2,000th episode of her talk show.
The former "Friends" actress was the 57-year-old presenter's first visitor on the 2,000th episode and brought with her a 'Welcome' mat, the same gift she brought when she was the first-ever guest on the programme back in 2003, reported Female First.
Introducing her first mystery guest, DeGeneres, 57, said, "This is a surprise to me, all I know is I love our first guest, I'm told, so let's find out who it is together."
Aniston then helped surprise DeGeneres, who is married to Portia de Rossi, by bringing out Timberlake, who was the second-ever guest on the show.
The actress teased, "I think it's time to bring sexy back."
The talk show host, who had been ordered not to leave her dressing room before the show, was thrilled by both her unexpected guests.
Toasting tequila with the presenter, Timberlake said, "I thought for sure you knew or you'd find out."
DeGeneres replied, "I know. Even when Portia tries to surprise me, it always leaks out, somebody tells me something. You are two of my favourite people."
Later in the show, Kerry Washington, who plays Olivia Pope on TV series "Scandal", also joined the celebrations, bringing with her a bottle of red wine.
DeGeneres was overwhelmed with emotion when the president and CCO of Warner Bros Television Group, Peter Roth, revealed that for only the fourth time in the studio's history, a stage is being renamed in her honour.
Presenting the host with a plaque, Roth said, "I officially dedicate Stage One, which forever more will be now known as 'The Ellen Stage'.
