Jennifer Aniston shares birthday tribute to Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow – Therealfeeds – It’s Unseen
The Rachel Green star shared a picture from the show to her Instagram Stories on July 30 to celebrate Kudrow on her 61st birthday.
Aniston posted a snap from the season eight episode ‘The One with the Halloween Party’, where Kudrow’s Phoebe Buffay is dressed as Supergirl for a fancy costume get-together at Monica’s.Aniston’s birthday wishes came after Kudrow recently explained why she would get annoyed at audiences for “laughing for too long” during tapings of the beloved sitcom.
“It wasn’t that funny,” she told the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast. “That’s why. It wasn’t an honest response and it irritated me.
“Now you’re just ruining the timing of the rest of the show. There are other lines… Sometimes I would just look out if they’d been laughing too long, and sometimes I would just look out and go, ‘Come on’. Really angry.”
Kudrow noted that Friends was “a TV show not for the studio audience” and was actually “made for the TV viewers at home”.
“That’s who we are in service to,” she elaborated. “If it were a stage play, yeah laugh as long as you want. I’ll figure out things to keep my character busy waiting to continue with it. That’s fine.
“But then it’s being filmed and now I’m just sort of standing there. And then you do things that you hate, just like nod, ‘Yeah, I said that.’ It’s terrible.”
Friends streams on Netflix in the UK, where it also airs daily on Comedy Central. In the US, you can stream the show on Max.
