The Bojack Horseman star further added, “God bless them. They were so excited to be there that sometimes the laughter would just be longer than if they had laughed at anything else.”
Meanwhile, the Murder Mystery actress, in conversation with Quinta Brunson, revealed, “Lisa Kudrow, by the way, hated when the audience laughed... She’d be like, ‘I’m not done! It’s not that funny.’”
In the Variety interview with the Abbott Elementary star, Aniston revealed that FRIENDS have always been special to her, and as she got emotional, she remembered her co-star and friend, Matthew Perry, who passed away in October 2023.
In a recent chat with the entertainment portal, Kudrow, too, recalled Perry and shared that she has been re-watching the episodes of the sitcom for the actor.
