\n\tMore than 20 years after Friends<\/a> finished airing, Lisa Kudrow<\/a> is finally watching the pivotal show. The actress, who played Phoebe, admitted to Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> that she has been making her way through all 10 seasons each night after her husband goes to bed.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m watching it now,\u201d she told Kimmel during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>! \u201cI\u2019m on Season Eight or Nine. When did Rachel give birth? I don\u2019t know. I wait until my husband goes to sleep because I\u2019m too embarrassed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat\u2019s embarrassing?\u201d Kimmel asked. \u201cThat I\u2019m watching myself on TV every night!\u201d Kudrow responded. <\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cI\u2019m not watching it for myself. I just like a sitcom before going to bed and I ran out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel asked if it feels like she\u2019s watching somebody else. \u201cIt does now,\u201d Kudrow acknowledged. \u201cAnd everyone\u2019s hilarious and I\u2019m laughing out loud.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress added that she hadn\u2019t previously seen \u201cmost\u201d of the episodes and doesn\u2019t actually remember a lot of them. Some have really made an impact, though. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was last night or the night before where Alec Baldwin was in the episode, and I remember Alec Baldwin was there. I didn\u2019t remember what we were doing,\u201d she said. \u201cBut we\u2019re at the Gellers\u2019 anniversary party, and Joey and Phoebe are talking, and Joey says, \u2018This is the worst party. It took forever to get to the buffet line. I get up there and I slipped on a giant booger.\u2019 And Phoebe had thrown an oyster on the floor. Just the thought that Joey thought a giant oyster was a booger that came out of someone\u2019s nose. I started crying I was laughing so hard. Tears! Then I had to text Matt [LeBlanc].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKudrow also discussed the new season of her show The Comeback, which shoots on the same soundstage as Friends. \u201cThat was really strange and kind of emotional,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s where we ended that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe third and final season of The Comeback premieres on March 22 on HBO. Kudrow created the series with Michael Patrick King after Friends ended in 2004. The first season debuted in 2005, but the second didn\u2019t arrive until 2014. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe need to say \u2018third and final,\u2019\u201d Kudrow recently told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll want to do it again in 10 years, so let\u2019s be done, that way no one is asking what\u2019s next or whether we will even want to do more. The most respectful thing we can do for the audience and for the character is make it a three-part story. It\u2019s a trilogy, and this is the end.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 20 years after Friends finished airing, Lisa Kudrow is finally watching the pivotal show.
