“We’re all old friends now and you call up and you say, ‘Well, it would be great if we can get somebody like Jennifer Aniston.’ And then we went, ‘Well, let’s ask Jennifer,’” Marino said, clearly still amazed by her swift agreement.

Marino was fully prepared for Aniston to be caught up in her usual whirlwind of projects but was pleasantly surprised when she responded with an enthusiastic, "Yeah, when do you want to do it?"

The comedy will see Zoey Deutch playing a Midwestern bride-to-be on a mission to Hollywood to charm Jon Hamm, who hilariously portrays an exaggerated version of himself. Hamm's "Mad Men" partner-in-crime, John Slattery, also jumps in, appearing as himself. Marino shared that getting Hamm and Slattery on board was a breeze, thanks to their long-standing camaraderie – a sentiment mirrored by Aniston's easy-going participation.
