A little tear came out of my eye hearing Lisa say that before she never really watched the show, but after Matthew's passing she would watch and even marathon it all day if it was on. Its like she was saying that she wanted to be with her Friend again. RIP Matthew. Gone way too soon from this world.

[@VistasSrinagarun]

I've never been hit as hard by a celeb death. I literally got depressed. He was a good man, that just wanted to feel better. I just wish I could give him a hug again and stand by him in his time of need

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

3:10 Conan kind of missed what she was saying: She didn't start watching Friends for "enjoying the show," she was watching Friends because of the loss of Matthew and it was a way of reconnecting with him in his physical absence.

Also, I hope this doesn't come across as weird, but I have to say it's great to see how gracefully and beautifully she has aged. In other interviews, she's talked openly about her body insecurities over the course of the show and after seeing many in the industry - including her co-stars - not being able to deal with aging and resorting to plastic surgery, it's kind of nice to see someone in Hollywood NOT going the Botox route, if that makes sense?

Yeah, same. I watched repeats all the time, but I just realized I haven't seen a single episode since I heard he passed. Didn't even realize I had been avoiding it. He was only a year older than me. He went too soon.

[@ShelleyPolarbelle]

Same

[@leejones9313]

I've not watched Friends since Matt passed away. Friends was my happy place, and now Matt's gone and after reading his book watching Friends makes me sad.

[@kelstersbreeze4714]

I never watched Friends much. By then, I had lost interest in television outside of late-night monologues. After seeing her interview with Conan, I realized she's one of my favorite people. She's honest and inciteful, and that speaks to me.

[@mestizo.de.sangley]

Matthew, Conan, and Lisa are my favorites. And it makes me happy that Lisa and Conan are speaking about their happy memory with Matty.

[@deevee5577]

My daughter was on Friends and I can honestly say, they are wonderful people.

[@nancytorrisi2227]

I love Friends and watch it constantly. I love Phoebe - her character was such a compliment to the rest of the cast!

[@marketingcoelho2058]

That laugh at 00:12 ♥

[@animalyze7120]

Friends is one of those series that comes from left field with the Sun behind it so it's completely unseen until it hits you, lays you out flat and you spend the rest of your time watching this surprise. One of the funniest TV shows I can remember and it was because they ALL did such an amazing job while making it look effortless and natural. 6 bumbling Friends bouncing through life clueless in many aspects and unknowingly wiser about others. RIP Mathew, you gave so many people the joy of laughter even while you yourself were hurting. You saved many lives with the medicine of your humor, more than you ever could realize. You shine bright in the memories and forever will continue to bring Joy to those who watch you.

I felt tears prickle my eyes when she says she can now watch a marathon of Friends all day, because of him

[@praptishukla6012]

I cannot listen to her after 2:59 as she mentioned Mathew Perry … it took me a moment to wipe my tears … and I am a 33 years old woman who is crying for a celebrity whom she never met, so I am also annoyed with myself 😅 that woman why are you crying but all 6 of them specially Chandelar have been with me for so long , is so many different phase of life, in 2020 when the world was shut down and locked down happened, I was living alone in my flat away from my hometown and friends were like my family , I used to run it all the time just to hear human voices , in 2nd wave of Covid I lost my elder brother, he was just 37 years old … and again I was alone and again I used to watch them and cry day in night out… so yes they all means so much to me… I can’t imagine how Lisa must be feeling that now the only way to see or hear her best friend is via a show ❤

[@charlottehunter5420]

i shaped my humor off alot of comedians and comedy stars. Mathew was definitely one of them. One of the funniest people we got to experience. RIP and thanks again for the laughs as well as the great acting.

[@Light-tc8xc]

“Who’s suffering if they’re not laughing?” Meanwhile, Matthew Perry said he felt like he was going to die if they didn’t laugh.

[@sarahwillmott7620]

I would imagine that seeing him in those episodes could be hard but also such a gift. My father died almost two years ago suddenly and I treasure the video I have of him dancing. I wish I had taken more videos. Now I do it all the time with the people I love because the pictures are nice but don’t capture the essence of the person like seeing them talking, laughing and doing what they love ❤

[@Fancy_PotHead]

Yay Lisa Kudrow ❤️❤️

[@EmmieQuake]

Lisa Kudrow gives motherly love vibes so much ❤️

[@xzonia1]

Well, she is a mom, so that makes sense. :)

[@sarahbleakley8043]

Such a great interview. Lisa is so funny, no wonder Matthew said in his book that she was the funniest woman in the world ❤️

[@lovelywaz]

Her laugh is still all that precious! 🥰🥰😀😀

[@CX0909]

When I wake up at 2 am and my head starts looping on bad things I open my phone and pick up where I last left off on an episode of Friends. Two or three hours later I'm waking up for the day and it's still there, playing quietly near my pillow, keeping my mind peaceful. Thank you so very much David, Jennifer, Matt, Courtney, Lisa, and not least of all Matthew 💜 as well as the producers (David crane, Kevin Bright, and Marta Kauffman) and the writers.

I love Conan and Lisa. It's nice to watch them talk and be friends. They are good people, and d class acts all the way. These two do good in the world, and I appreciate it.

[@davidmsirois]

i think she went from the most unique and cute Friend, to the most elegant and gorgeous.

[@ccc3336]

She’s aging so much better than poor depressed Jennifer Aniston😢 depression and infertility really aged her badly and she doesn’t have any family or even a boyfriend. Lisa is really more lucky😅

[@abhishekpratapnigam]

Friends was a big part of my life. I have a school grad photo w/ my 5 other friends and we tried to emulate the characters on the show. It was probably the first time that i mourned a celeb's death. Matty passing was like a personal loss. It is a personal loss afterall.

[@jericgutierrez5765]

❤❤❤ love lisa kudrow the most in Friends, hope she does more tv shows

[@DocMarsTalesToAmaze]

She’s in a show right now called time bandits

[@buggy89]

❤

[@Stehlikova]

Can't watch friends since Mathew passed. The show and Mathew specifically helped me through very very dark and sad places. But he viewed himself in the show so critically, was so sad about himself, his choices, I can't unsee that now on the show. I wish something, someone,can help him forgive young himself. He saved so many people so many times ❤

[@raziel5835]

I always enjoyed Lisa's vibe on her roles. But this is the first time I can see her wisdom talking about life and his friends. Beautiful clip

[@JonnyDIY]

Every time I see Lisa and Conan together it makes me wish they had gotten married and had little hilarious brilliant children 🤣💕👍

[@joebluhm]

She is so smart. I love seeing this convo.

[@MiamiSpartan1]

Big hugs to her and the other cast members ❤❤❤❤

[@AngeliaGurnerpersonal]

I have rewatched Friends 3 times so far since Matthew passed away. He was the best.

[@amyvanzanten9088]

She is just such a beautiful person with a heart to match. ❤

Oh god my eyes are watering when she started talking about Matthew Perry. I love the Friends cast.

[@OddeyeDL76]

Lisa Kudrow is what you call someone with character. Great human being always loved her.

[@MGC-XIII]

Lisa's personality is so uplifting. It's funny that so many actors can't stand watching themselves on tv.

[@Nozuka621]

But also not surprising. I can't even stand a voice message i recorded

[@faith4jesus]

I love that she is able to discuss self love and acceptance. So many comedians struggle with self esteem. I watched a biography of Chris Farley this is discussed throughout the show. Many don’t realize celebrities struggle with mental health just like the rest of the world. I’m so glad she was able to share that with so many. She definitely is very wise.

[@Asfixiator7]

When I met my partner 13 years ago she introduced me to Friends and we have always had it playing when sleeping, never missed a day. Sometimes there is no sleep involved when I'm actually paying attention and watching it. Timeless humour.

[@regina_filange2.0]

Lisa Kudro has the best laugh ever She's my favorite Friend, and Conan's my favorite comedian🧡 Always love a Conan-Lisa interview ❤

[@margaretthym8234]

The way Lisa talk about his fountain comments - I can almost hear him saying it just like he would as Chandler. Just a few weeks! before his death, I had finished listening to his audiobook. As someone who has had family members who were lost to alcoholism and who have gone into recovery, his story resonates so much. The world lost a beautiful soul who only recognized his beauty late in life and only barely got to see himself in that beauty. 😢

[@rashaski]

I am an alcohol and drug counselor and a therapist. I am so grateful for this clip and I plan to share it with the men that I work with who are struggling with chemical dependency and mental health issues. This is not the first time that Conan has been helpful in my job. I often suggest that my clients listen to the interview that Howard Stern did with Conan. It's human to believe that some achievement will make everything okay. The truth is that we can love ourselves right now, we can connect with contentment, we can be grateful right now. This is not to say that we give up all achievement, all our dreams for ourselves, but we don't fool ourselves about what they will do for us. Thank you, Conan and Lisa!

[@JaylenPotts-zs2qw]
