Jennifer Aniston shares birthday tribute for Friends co-star on Instagram

As a gamer with a heart for nostalgia, I can’t help but reminisce about the golden days of television when Friends graced our screens. I remember staying up late on weeknights just to catch the latest episode, laughing till my sides ached, and dreaming of being part of that iconic gang.


Jennifer Aniston has shared a sweet birthday message for her Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow.

On July 30th, I hopped onto my Insta-story to honor my friend, Kudrow, on her 61st birthday, sharing a snapshot from our iconic show, “Friends.”

I recently shared a screenshot from that iconic Friends episode, season 8 – “The One with the Halloween Party.” In the image, Phoebe Buffay, played by Kudrow, was all decked out as Supergirl for an elegant costume gathering at Monica’s place. (As if I could resist sharing such a fun throwback!)

After Jennifer Aniston shared her birthday greetings, Courteney Cox’s recent remarks about audience members laughing excessively during tapings of the cherished sitcom sparked discussions, as Kudrow had mentioned this could irritate her.

She shared with the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast, “It didn’t make me laugh at all.” The reason was that she felt it was insincere and it annoyed her.

As a seasoned performer with years of stage experience under my belt, I understand the intricacies of timing and audience engagement like the back of my hand. When a member of the audience disrupts the flow of the show, it can be frustrating and unsettling. In such instances, I find myself thinking, “It’s a shame that one person can throw off the entire rhythm of the performance. There are so many carefully crafted lines waiting to be delivered… Sometimes, if laughter lingers too long, I’ll glance around to gauge the situation, and other times, when patience wears thin, I might let out a gentle reminder, “Come on,” with a hint of exasperation in my voice. It’s all part of the job, but it doesn’t make the moments any less challenging or frustrating.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d put it this way: Friends wasn’t designed to entertain the live studio crowd; instead, it was crafted with us, the couch potatoes at home, in mind.

She clarified, “That’s the role we serve. If this was a stage play, feel free to chuckle as much as you like. I can think of ways to keep my character occupied while awaiting further action. It’s all good.”

I find myself standing awkwardly as the camera rolls, having just uttered something I despise. Nodding along with a false sense of agreement, ‘Yeah, I said that.’ It feels terrible, reminding me of countless moments in my life where I’ve had to compromise or say things I didn’t truly believe in. The discomfort lingers, serving as a constant reminder that sometimes, the pressure to conform can be overwhelming.

In the United Kingdom, friends is available for streaming on Netflix and it’s also aired daily on Comedy Central. In the U.S., you can stream the series on Max.
