Lisa Kudrow Finds 'Comfort' In Watching FRIENDS After Matthew's Death

Appearing on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show, stand-in host Gary Davies asked what sitcoms Lisa watches, to which she replied, "Friends at night before going to bed. I haven't seen a lot of episodes." She sits in the family room, and waits until her husband goes to sleep because 'I'm too embarrassed for anyone to see me watching it.'

Gary, 68, quipped that she won't tell her husband, but can tell all of the listeners, to which Lisa clarified, "No, he knows that I like watching it." As per Female First UK, Lisa did not watch many episodes of Friends when they aired because she was too busy filming the comedy series, which followed the lives of Phoebe, Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) living in Manhattan, New York. Lisa added, "Only the first couple of seasons because we were busy. I don’t think any of us watched every episode. And we were also not hanging out watching the show as it's being shot. At first, you are. And then you're just too busy, even during the show."

On watching the show now after all these years, Kudrow added, "It’s just important, kind of healing."Lisa also shared that she has just reached the series eight finale, where Rachel and Ross welcome their daughter, Emma, into the world.
