Lisa Kudrow Admits She Has Never Seen an Episode of ‘Friends’

Friends is the biggest and arguably, the most iconic show ever.

Everyone in the world has at some point seen an episode of Friends except for Lisa Kudrow, who brilliantly brought the quirky and nutty Phoebe Buffay to life. 

Kurdow made the shocking revelation during a mini-Friends reunion with Jennifer Aniston on Variety’s Actors on Actors issue.

You might wonder how someone so closely involved with the series managed to get away with living a life where she hasn’t watched the 90s cult classic series, but don’t worry, Kudrow has a reasonable and sweet explanation: she wants to do it with her friends! 

“I don’t watch the show. I’m still not watching it in the hopes that one day we sit down and watch them together,” she told Aniston, who was into the idea and responded, “I think it would be a lot of fun for us to do something like that.”

While she hasn’t seen herself bring the lovable Phoebs to life, she has given into the blooper reels, but honestly, who hasn’t? Blooper reels are the best!

 “I love stumbling on a Friends episode. This one time I was with Courteney, and we were trying to find something to reference, an old “Friends” thing,” Aniston said. “And then we stumbled on—there’s bloopers online—and we sat there at the computer like two nerds watching these bloopers laughing at ourselves.”

“I’ve done it too. I’ve done that, hours watching bloopers,” Kudrow admitted.

While Aniston, Kudrow and the rest of the Friends cast seem to be genuine friends now after all these years, when they were first cast, they didn’t meet until the initial table read, which is engrained in Aniston’s memory.

“You were wearing an appropriate Phoebe Buffay [outfit]—like a white linen, hippie shirt, and you had a bunch of seashells and necklaces on,” Aniston recalled. 

“And you had your hair pulled up in two little clips, and you had these little blond tendrils…so, so, so beautiful! And Courteney [Cox] had on a pink baby tee with a white trim.”

“Gee whiz! I was trying to get into the character,” Kudrow joked. 

While the mini-reunion isn’t exactly the HBO Max reunion fans have been hoping for, it does serve as a good intermediary as we await the official reunion special, which is set to start filming in August after being postponed by the thing that ruined all television productions of 2020 — coronavirus. 

Stay tuned for that, check out our list of favorite Friends episodes here, and get ready to binge-watch all summer long!

When Does ‘Upload’ Season 3 Come Out?

Published

on

Fans of Upload—starring Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, and Allegra Edwards—have been waiting patiently for any information about a potential third season, particularly as season 2 left off on quite a bit of a hangover, with Amell’s Nathan Brown’s life hanging in the balance. 

But now, we finally have a premiere date along with a brand new trailer that mostly qualms all of those worries. 

Upload Season 3 will be here sooner rather than later with an arrival date of October 20, 2023—that is, for the first two episodes. The next few episodes—a total of 8 for the season—will arrive weekly in pairs, with episodes 3 and 4 landing on Oct 27, episodes 5 and 6 on Nov 3, and episodes 7 and 8 on Nov 10. 

Episodes release on Prime Video at 12:00 a.m. GMT on the date, which means 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. 

The futuristic sci-fi comedy in which a man uploads to a digital life extension following his untimely death and forms a special bond with his angel (a customer service rep, in present-day terms) immediately built a dedicated fanbase for its comedic tone as it tackles serious issues. 

In the trailer teasing the new season, fans see more of Brown’s time on Earth with Nora following his download. While the final moments of season 2 kept his fate uncertain as he suffered a nosebleed, meaning there was a possibility he wasn’t going to live for much longer, he’s very much alive and well 26 days after the download. While they’re still making good on their amazing connection, Nathan and Nora have also joined forces to shut down Freeyond, which has killed hundreds of innocent people in an attempt to rig the election. 

But back at Horizon, Tinlsey, who noticed Nathan disappeared, rebooted him from a backup copy, meaning there’s another Nathan that exists in the afterlife. Ingrid is making the most of this “second chance” to do this right as “new Nathan” has no memory of what happened, nor does he remember breaking up with her. 

“Two Nathans, one Nora, Never fantasized about this before,” Nora states as she pays a visit to Lakeview, where someone informs her that isn’t cheating, it’s just her boyfriend “6 months ago.”

Ingrid then informs Earth Nathan that “his girl is hanging with my fake dude.”

Will Nora get charmed by Lakeview Nathan? Has the real world taken a toll on their relationship? And is Ingrid really too into the afterlife while still having the opportunity to live a real life?

Check out the trailer and watch the new season starting Oct. 20.

Bachelor Nation—Thursday night is your night. 

Following the premiere of The Golden Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise returns for its 9th season. 

The reality series finds former leads and contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette—some fan-favorites, some controversial and least liked—coming together in the carefree setting of a tropical beach destination in Mexico’s Playa Escondida resort to give their journey of finding love another (and hopefully successful) shot. 

The contestants then spend roughly three weeks dating around in hopes of finding their soulmate, all while dodging drama and feuds. Some leave the beach engaged, some in committed relationship, and some stay single. 

Jesse Palmer will host this season as Wells Adams returns to the bar.

The series will premiere with a 2-hour episode on Thursday September 28 at 9 p.m. ET right after the pilot episode of The Golden Bachelor. Those who can’t catch it live will be able to stream it on Hulu the following day.

They will continue airing on Thursday nights weekly alongside The Golden Bachelor making Thursday’s the new Monday/Tuesday.

The Golden Bachelor

What Time Does ‘The Golden Bachelor’ Start?

Published

on

ABC is expanding its Bachelor franchise into a new age bracket with The Golden Bachelor.

Gerry Turner, described as a “charming 72-year-old patriarch from Indiana,” will be the first to ever own the title as he sets out to find love amongst 22 hopeful bachelorettes.

The series synopsis notes, “One hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life.”

There’s been a lot of interest across the board for the spinoff as it’s a refreshing take on the franchise that many found has become quite predictable in recent years as it focuses on the same age group every time.

 The new concept doesn’t just pique the interest of longtime Bachelor fans, it’s also enticing older viewers who have never given reality TV a chance, while also sparking interest from younger fans who want to see what kind of drama the older demographic is going to stir up (though Turner did call them the “sweetest” group of women ever).

Many also think that with an older-skewing cast, the focus will be more on finding love versus chasing social media clout as the contestants have all been through their fair share of life experiences and heartache. 

“I want to fall in love,” Turner previously explained of his interest in the franchise, noting, “I really want to find my person who can put me in my place when I need it and make me smile at it. The person who can lay down beside you at night, not have to say anything, and you feel it. That’s love. That’s what I want. And I know that person’s out there.”

He was married to his high school sweetheart for 43 years before she died in 2017, so it’s fair to say he’s putting himself out of his comfort zone by pursuing a new romantic connection. 

The series will premiere on Thursday, Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. You can stream the episodes the following day on Hulu.

It will continue airing on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Bachelor in Paradise—who doesn’t love back-to-back Bachelor shows?
