Lisa Kudrow Names Friends Season 8 Scene That Had Her Crying With Laughter

Lisa Kudrow has revealed that her Friends watch is still going strong.

During an appearance on Wednesday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Emmy winner shared that she’s not long finished the hit comedy’s eighth season, admitting she has to “wait until my husband goes to sleep, because I’m too embarrassed” to watch herself on screen with him there.

“I’m not watching it for myself,” she quickly insisted. “I just like a sitcom before bed.”

Revealing how the classic show has her “laughing out loud” as she revisits the old episodes, Lisa recalled: “It was last night or the night before, Alec Baldwin was in the episode. We’re at the Gellars’ anniversary party, and Joey and Phoebe are talking, and Joey says ‘this is the worst party… it took forever to get to the buffet, and I get up there, and I almost slipped on a giant booger!’, and Phoebe had thrown an oyster on the floor.

“And just the thought that Joey thought an oyster was a booger that came out of someone’s nose – I started crying, I was laughing so hard.”

She added: “Then I had to text Matt [LeBlanc], ‘oh my god’, and he was like, ‘yeah, we had laughs on that show’.”

Back in 2024, Lisa shared that she’d begun watching Friends for the first time following the death of her co-star Matthew Perry.

“Honestly, I wasn’t able to watch it because it’s too embarrassing to watch yourself,” she claimed. “But if I make it about Matthew, then that’s OK.

“And it’s just celebrating how hilarious he was – and that is what I want to remember.”

She added: “I’m blown away by Courteney Cox. I’m blown away by [Jennifer Aniston]. Matthew, obviously, is just uniquely hilarious. No one ever knew that cadence or comedic rhythm before him.

“Matt LeBlanc is hilarious. And David Schwimmer, too. Sometimes I even laugh at what I’ve done. But it’s embarrassing. At home, if anyone walks in the room and I’m watching Friends, that’s a horrible look, I think, don’t you?”
