Monica Geller

Monica Geller is a fictional character from the American television sitcom *Friends* (1994–2004), played by Courteney Cox.

She is the group's compulsively organized, competitive chef—her obsessive cleanliness and need to host became running jokes throughout the series.

Monica anchors much of the show's geography, as her apartment serves as the primary gathering place.

Her name sometimes appears as shorthand for someone fastidiously neat or controlling about domestic order: She's such a Monica about her kitchen.
