That is not Monica.

Courteney Cox Was Also Stealthily Replaced In a "Friends" Episode Once

We are all spending way  too much time binge watching  Friends on Netflix. Just a few days after a television genius spotted this wonderful Jennifer Aniston stand-in gaffe which made it on the air, another attempt to surreptitiously remove one of America's most beloved actresses from the show has been discovered.

This time, it involves Courteney Cox. The Huffington Post actually spotted this error back in February, but is making news today after the error involving Rachel went viral. During "The One With Rachel's Date," episode five from the show's eighth season, Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) and Monica (Courteney) are having a chat about someone Monica just fired.  

When they sit on the couch, starting at around 6:20, another mystery person shows up as the camera cuts to Phoebe's reaction. (It's right after Phoebe's comment about Monica's hair and Monica responds "I paid to have this done.") 

Imposter! Caught you! Is this part of a vast conspiracy to slowly and subtly remove all our favorite television stars? WE ARE ON TO YOUR SCHEME, SCHEMING SCHEMERS.

Actually, like I explained last time this is just the result of the use of stand-ins when scheduling film/television shoots, a fairly routine practice in Hollywood. Sometimes errant shots accidentally make it in here and there. Or like they say "Pobody's Nerfect."
