Lisa Kudrow reveals secret ingredient to Friends' popularity

Lisa Kudrow is sharing her two cents on what she thinks is keeping newer generations hooked to the '90s sitcom Friends.

Kudrow—who played Phoebe Buffay on the beloved sitcom—shared with Page Six recently that she's not amazed by its decadeslong popularity.

“I’m not amazed because it’s good and it’s familiar,” the No Good Deed star, 61, shared with the publication.

The actress believes the show, which spanned from 1994 to 2004, holds a “subconscious nostalgia” for younger fans who grew up with cell phones and social media.

For something they don’t have, which is in-person connections and relations,” she continued. “And that’s always been at the heart of every successful show.”

“That’s why people get attached to them and then if it’s funny, there [are] good performances, good jokes, that’s a bonus and Friends had all that.”

The Emmy winner recalled that most people were skeptical about the show's potential earlier in the day.

She remembers once being asked if “a bunch of young people sitting on a couch talking” was even a show.

“That’s not my problem,” Kudrow recounted her response at the time. “I’m just in it, but yes it was a show.”

The show’s finale, which aired in May 2004, was watched by over 52 million people, making it the fifth most-watched series finale in US history.
