Lisa Kudrow Clarifies Friends Laughter Remarks

Lisa Kudrow has clarified her feelings about audience laughter during the filming of 'Friends' following Jennifer Aniston's comments that Kudrow 'hated' it. Kudrow explained that while she didn't hate the laughter, it did irritate her when it went on too long, as it interrupted the flow of the show. She expressed gratitude for the audience's enthusiasm but felt the extended laughter was unnecessary. Kudrow's clarification came during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, where she was promoting her new Apple TV+ series 'Time Bandits', based on the 1981 Terry Gilliam film, which features Kudrow as the leader of a group of time-traveling adventurers. Despite her past irritations with live audience laughter, Kudrow mentioned she would be open to working with a live studio audience again.
