Lisa Kudrow never watched Friends while starring in it

In the United States, Lisa Kudrow, known for her iconic role in the sitcom Friends, revealed that she did not watch any television shows, including her own, during the decade she spent working on the show. This admission was made in the lead-up to her new project, a dark comedy called No Good Deed, which is set to premiere on Netflix. Kudrow's co-star, Ray Romano, who worked on Everybody Loves Raymond, noted that their respective shows were filmed very close to each other but that Kudrow was unaware of this during her time on Friends. Despite not watching his show when it originally aired, she caught up with Romano's work during the pandemic, expressing her admiration for his performances and her excitement about the opportunity to work alongside him in their new project. Their collaboration has brought together prominent figures from some of America’s beloved sitcoms, and it promises to deliver a unique blend of humor and depth to their themes of family and personal history. Viewers can anticipate a rich narrative, combining both comedic elements and darker undertones, as seen in other works by the same creator who was behind Dead To Me.
