Lisa Kudrow is setting the record straight on a recent claim made by her Friends costar Jennifer Aniston.
Of course, Lisa and Jennifer played Phoebe Buffay and Rachel Green, respectively, in the hit NBC sitcom, which aired between 1994 and 2004.
Ever since the show wrapped, the actors — and the rest of the main cast — have remained close friends.
Last month, Jennifer sat down with Variety for its Actors on Actors series alongside Quinta Brunson, and during their conversation, she recalled her time shooting Friends.
While discussing the show, Jen told Quinta, “Lisa Kudrow, by the way, hated when the audience laughed... She’d be like, ‘I’m not done! It’s not that funny.’”
But Lisa has now set things straight, clarifying that she didn’t exactly hate the live audience’s laughter…unless it went on too long.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Lisa said of Jennifer’s claim, “No, that’s not exactly…no, no. It irritated me if they would laugh for too long.”
“God bless them. They were so excited to be there that sometimes the laughter would just be longer than if they would have laughed at anything else,” she said.
“I was like, ‘All right, well, take it easy. It’s not that funny. And there's more to say!’” she added.
