Lisa Kudrow has clarified her feelings about the live audience on the set of Friends, responding to comments made by her former co-star Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer had previously mentioned that Lisa used to hate the live audience during their time on the popular 90s sitcom.

In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lisa explained that she didn’t hate the live audience but sometimes found their reactions excessive. She said, “No, that’s not exactly – no, no. It irritated me if they would laugh for too long.”

Lisa went on to say, “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. I was like, ‘All right, well, take it easy. It’s not that funny. And there’s more to say!'”

Jennifer’s claim came from her interview with Quinta Brunson for Variety’s Actors on Actors, where she mentioned Lisa’s dislike for an audience while filming Friends. Jennifer recalled, “Lisa Kudrow, by the way, hated when the audience laughed… She’d be like, ‘I’m not done! It’s not that funny!'”

The two actors have shared a close bond since their time on the show, despite these differing experiences with the live audience.
