Lisa Kudrow Shares Why Watching Friends After Matthew Perry's Death Is "Really Comforting"

Lisa Kudrow finds solace in rewatching Friends episodes, recalling Matthew Perry's humor and celebrating their decade-long friendship, as cast tributes continue to honor his legacy.

  • On Friday, March 27, actress Lisa Kudrow revealed that rewatching Friends reruns has been "comforting" following the death of her co-star Matthew Perry three years ago.
  • Perry, who played the sarcastic Chandler Bing on the NBC sitcom alongside Kudrow, died in 2023 at age 54 from the acute effects of ketamine, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.
  • During her Capital FM appearance, Kudrow praised Perry's comedic talent, stating, "He was so funny, I mean, the funniest. Sorry, everybody else, but just truly." She noted the show allows her to laugh and feel connected to him.
  • Beyond the show, Kudrow recently discovered a note Perry left inside a cookie jar prop from the Friends set, saying, "Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode," and adding sentimentally, "Timing is everything."
  • Kudrow admitted she rarely watched Friends while filming because she was raising a child, but now views the reruns as important healing, explaining that laughter provides essential escape.
