Lisa Kudrow expressed her long-standing frustration with the live studio audience's prolonged laughter during the filming of 'Friends,' emphasizing that it disrupted the show's timing and extended the filming time significantly. Kudrow noted that 'Friends' was intended for TV viewers at home, and the extended laughs often necessitated multiple takes. Following the death of her co-star Matthew Perry in 2023, Kudrow has revisited the show, finding new meaning in watching it. Conan O'Brien, who dated Kudrow, recalled feeling jealous when she praised Perry's comedic skills during the early days of 'Friends.' Kudrow admitted that Perry's passing has made her appreciate the show and her experiences on it more deeply.
