The actress, who just won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the Apple TV+ drama series The Morning Show, looked mighty comfortable sitting in Ellen's chair and running the show.
She even took some shots at Ellen herself during the opening monologue.

Twitter fans were loving the substitution too.

And while this may have been Aniston's first time hosting a talk show, her body language just screamed chill. She might as well have been in her pajamas.
After sharing a quick video sent by Ellen, Aniston wasted no time before moving on to conjure the most Ellen-esque behavior she could.
She reminded the audience that The Ellen DeGeneres Show is filmed on the same Warner Brothers Lot where Friends used to be filmed.
"The set is actually still here, it's part of the Warner Brothers Studio Tour."
"So I thought, while I'm here, I'll go take a visit."

As the Ellen Show clip rolls, we see a smattering of tour groups posing for a picture on the famous "Central Perk" coffee shop couch, where the whole cast of Friends was sure to be seen at least once every episode.
What the visitors to the set don't realize, however, is that as Aniston is hiding behind the couch, as the photographer asks them who their favorite "Friend" is.
Joey, Ross, and Phoebe all get mentions. Aniston's character, Rachel, doesn't come up so much, but Aniston just looks like she's having a blast.
Watch below at the 2:48 mark for the Central Perk shenanigans.
The video is a hoot to see just how the unsuspecting visitors react.
First, they freak out because a fully grown adult has just jumped from out of nowhere and screamed in their faces.
Then that initial horror gives way to the sudden shock of being a foot away from one of their favorite TV stars.
Talk about whiplash.
People are pretty sure they would have died. Or passed out.

How much fun does that look?
Chris Martin and Johnny Buckland were on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week, talking about their new album.
Martin however, went off on a tangent about an idea he had for A Quiet Place.
As Martin explained, after seeing the movie A Quiet Place, he had a joke. He sent a video of himself pretending to play the piano and mouthing words to a song to Emily Blunt and her husband, John Krasinski, who directed the film.
"So, I sent Emily Blunt and her husband this idea for the musical of 'A Quiet Place' and it was just me like that,"
It was the perfect idea for A Quiet Place musical.
The only problem is Martin never heard anything back from Krasinski or Blunt.
As Martin explained:
"I thought, 'Oh no, they must have thought I was taking the Mickey.' I wasn't. I loved the film!"
DeGeneres helpfully responded:
"Well, you'll hear back from them now!"
And she ensured it. The official Twitter account for the show tweeted out the clip and tagged Krasinski in the tweet.
Difficult to ignore that.
.@JohnKrasinski, did you get this message from Chris Martin? https://t.co/2iVw0o5SNi— Ellen DeGeneres (@Ellen DeGeneres) 1579127469.0
Krasinski certainly couldn't ignore being called out like that. He manned up and responded to the video.
He also decided to throw his wife under the bus.
@TheEllenShow I... did not get an email from Chris Martin. The man is a treasure. Are you kidding me!? Emily what have you done!?!?— John Krasinski (@John Krasinski) 1579145164.0
@johnkrasinski Well, blaming Emily seems like a great strategy.— Ellen DeGeneres (@Ellen DeGeneres) 1579191157.0
It's not very fair, considering Blunt doesn't use social media and can't so readily defend herself. Low blow, Jim.
On the other hand, people are very supportive of Martin referring to the Hollywood couple as "Emily Blunt and her husband."
@steeljammn @johnkrasinski @TheEllenShow That reference was the best! Must be a Brit thing?— Karess (@Karess) 1579150481.0
We can cut Krasinski a little slack. He's been busy producing A Quiet Place 2, due for release in March of this year.
The film once again stars Emily Blunt as Evelyn Abbott as she and her family face off against deadly creatures who violently attack any sound.
The monsters aren't entirely unlike Twitter users who see a famous actor trying to blame Emily Blunt because he happened to leave Chris Martin on read.
