Conan Sat With The “Friends” Cast At Lisa Kudrow’s Wedding | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

[@taxiafterwine]

What an endearing friendship to behold.

[@jakestroll6518]

Considering how often he interviews her and reminisces about their years together, I'd say these two are each others "the one that got away".

[@jrduffy5994]

I definitely ship Conan with Conan

[@Eskay_The_Evil_Genius]

This is my favorite Conan interview of all time. Since 93. Its like Lisas interviewing him at the same time. I love this.

[@starxhilmie]

Not Jack Mcbrayer ?😂

[@billyeveryteen7328]

It's up there, but I think for me, it's the time he interviewed "Amir" from Iran. The whole thing seemed so far outside of Conan's wheelhouse, but he nailed it.

I could listen to Lisa Kudrow laugh forever and die happy. She’s a low-key treasure.

Young people might have heard that Friends is a great show, a legendary show, and they might have even watched some of it on Netflix. But you'd have to have been there to know how it captured the spirit of the late 90s. Watching it on Netflix now maybe doesn't reveal how it was part of the Zeitgeist. It's a different experience watching something in it's original context when it feels cutting edge.

Agree. You can apply that to pop culture in general. Before social media concerts, movies and TV were special. Celebrities were not accessible.

[@Yourmission9]

Friends was such an awesome show, I was in my teens when it aired and it was THE show to watch with friends, that and The X-Files were it for me

[@steviemac2681]

People would have to be there to know how it captured the spirit of the late 90s.

[@cactaceous]

Yeah, no. Friends was a soap opera for teenage girls masquerading as a sitcom. Never found it funny at all. The X Files, Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show. Friends was a watered down Seinfeld copycat.

I recently had a baby and to help me stay awake during the night feedings, I've been watching old late night clips from the 90s. It's been amazing to see the evolution of Conan over the years. And Lisa was always happy to show up at least once a year to do an interview. What a friendship.

[@thinkplanetearth2946]

What is remarkable and commendable about them is that they did in fact stick together, especially when it came pay. They negotiated as a group as opposed to someone with a big ego thinking he/she deserved more which is completely opposite to what happened on Seinfeld.

[@LaurieWiegler]

In like late 95 I was at Century City mall I think, and at the food court or whatever it was called, David Schwimmer and Matt LEBlanc came in. I looked across this cafe island and I caught Schwimmer's eye. I looked away, not wanting to disturb, and he looked like he was trying to sense if they were recognized. It is an indelible memory. Ironically, the guy with me and my then boyfriend was friends with Jennifer Aniston. These stories from the mid 90s are so special, and from there I wrote a spec read at WB at the invitation of Kevin Bright.

I know not popular yet during first lockdown discovered home podcasts, Jimmy Fallon and his family, enjoyed it lots especially a zoom with Roots singing, caught in the middle of you. Also watched lots of Carole Burnett, Archie Bunker new to these and rewatched Conan and Schlansky etc. Love these podcasts with Sona, too. A real genuine warmth, imo. 👵🇬🇧👍😂

[@johnedwards5575]

I never got in to Friends, Modern Family, Seinfeld… but fascinating to hear that switch to stardom and what that was like. The interaction in England? Yeah… the loathing self or otherwise cup spills over. I’m one generation removed, but see Canadians and Americans struggle with interactions with my mom and dad oozing with the put downs if things get too good and successful.

Can we get the whole episode in video format?

[@angelarasmussen1800]

Wow! Lisa's story of the women turning on her is an interesting psychology piece.

[@trevorholland5032]

To me it sounds like the women were deeply jealous of Lisa's success and wanted to tear her down so they could feel better about their own lives.

That story with the "fangirls" in London was scary. Maybe they had some weird group compensation for the fangirling that overcorrected way too much to Misery levels.

[@AdamXJ]

Yeah, it's mind boggling for me. I heard a lot of celebrities talking about what it's like to be famous in interviews... but this story stands out. Sure, seemingly nice people can be (deep down) envious. But it's scary how they can flip like that without you saying/doing anything.

[@Jim_Thomas_Draper]

I'm British, and I think generally a lot of people here tend to mock and tease each other in a way that is totally friendly and affectionate but might seem hostile to people from overseas. I do wonder if it's possible the women in the department store were joking, thinking Lisa was in on the joke and it was good natured banter, not realising how it came across. I think typically people would only act like that with friends, but Lisa was a Friend, so... it's possible!

[@jakelover1731]

It sounded like a Shirley Jackson short story.

[@khar12d8]

Come back to London, Lisa, and we'll be less crazy next time. Hi from London.

"You did sign up for this" Ugh, I loathe people at times. Their sense of entitlement with celebrities/public figures is insane.

[@HoneyMike]

And when HBO Max did the Friends reunion, somebody chose to have Corden ruin or host the reunion. Instead of choosing Conan who would be a better host, has a show on Max and is an actual friend of the cast of Friends. How do these people have jobs?

[@Paulafan5]

Conan wasn't on Max at the time. I know, I immediately thought of Conan being the host, but networks are very particular about that sort of thing. Corden was being pushed hard at the time (for some reason). If Conan had a show on Max at the time, he would have hosted the special.

[@HoneyMike]

@@Paulafan5 But they announced in 2020 that Conan was gonna have a show on HBO Max and TBS is owned by WarnerMedia anyway. So Conan was already working for WB and Corden was on CBS which is owned by Paramount, a rival studio. It doesn't make any sense. Even if Conan didn't want to host it, they could've picked so many people that would've been better.
