“It was the second-to-last season of the show, so long ago,” George (pictured at top) continued. “I believe they were looking for some supermodel. I saw all these beautiful women at the casting and got up and left. I was like, ‘I’m leaving.’ I was about to open the door and they called ‘Melissa, you’re next!’ I was like, ‘shit!’ So, I had to audition.”
In the episode, Molly aces her interview to become Emma’s nanny, and of course, when Joey (Matt LeBlanc) lays eyes on the cool pretty blonde, he sets his sights on her, despite receiving a stern warning from Ross and Chandler to steer clear.
“I kept tripping over all the furniture in Central Perk because it was all so much smaller and I had thought it was so big,” she recalled. “I [remember] Matt LeBlanc, after the sixth take, saying, ‘If you trip over the chair one more time, you are not coming back!’ I was all, ‘I am really sorry, I am just so nervous about being in the coffee shop!’ I was trying to be Molly and be all cool as the ‘hot lesbian nanny,’ but I was just freaking out at being in Central Perk and hanging with Joey in the coffee shop.”
