Lisa Kudrow Says Rewatching Friends Helps Her Cope With Matthew Perry's Death

The actor describes the sitcom as a steady source of comfort after her co-star's 2023 death.

Overview

  • Kudrow, speaking on Capital FM's The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on Friday, said TV marathons and reruns eased her grief and let her see Perry's humor again.
  • She said she watches the show in private because she feels too embarrassed to view it in front of her family.
  • Kudrow explained she missed many episodes during the original run because she was working nonstop and caring for her child.
  • Remembering Perry, she called him "the funniest" and said his performance still makes her laugh.
  • Perry died in October 2023, and officials later ruled the cause as the acute effects of ketamine with prosecutors charging five people in connection with the case.
