Lisa Kudrow Reveals One Fan Request She Always Turns Down

The actress said she usually accepts other Phoebe-related requests but refuses to perform the sitcom’s signature song.

  • Actress Lisa Kudrow, 63, revealed in a recent interview that she refuses to sing her iconic Friends song, "Smelly Cat," when requested by fans, stating, "I really don't want to do that."
  • Between 1994 and 2004, Kudrow starred as Phoebe Buffay on the NBC sitcom Friends for 10 seasons, cementing the character and its signature song in pop culture.
  • While she welcomes fans using her character's name or reciting iconic lines, Kudrow maintains a clear boundary regarding the song request alone.
  • Reflecting on her time on Friends, Kudrow expressed "zero complaints," noting the cast shared "real honest respect" and grew closer by playing poker together during breaks.
  • Separately, Kudrow recounted auditioning for Rachel Green, the role that went to Jennifer Aniston, after casting agents told her she "wasn't gorgeous" and wasn't suited for the romantic lead.
