During an episode of the 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend' podcast, Lisa Kudrow explains why she now feels comfortable rewatching 'Friends' — and how Matthew Perry played a role in it.

Lisa Kudrow was never one to watch herself on television — until now. During Monday's episode of the 'Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend' podcast, the 'Friends' actress openly discussed why she now feels comfortable enough to watch the beloved sitcom — whereas before, she could not 'bear it' and explained how her longtime friend, the late Matthew Perry, played a part.

Especially now you can see — and you can enjoy the show, you can enjoy Matthew, you can enjoy what he's doing,' O'Brien continued. 'Everyone is phenomenally hilarious to me,' said Kudrow. A representative for Kudrow did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. In October 2023, Perry died of acute effects of ketamine and drowning.

Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you,' she said. 'Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew.' 'Friends,' which first debuted on NBC in 1994, was one of the most watched sitcoms on television. Throughout the years, the cast remained close, even reuniting for a special on HBO Max in 2021.

It’s been 20 years since the series finale of Friends,' she wrote, alongside a clip of the scene. 'I don’t know how we were able to act through all the tears. Forever grateful.' The last scene shows the six friends – Monica , Rachel , Chandler , Ross , Joey and Phoebe – gathered in Monica and Chandler's apartment, saying their goodbyes and fighting through tears as the couple prepares to move out with their new babies.
