Summary
A year and a half after last meeting in person, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow reunited for a wide-ranging interview that turned emotional as they revisited "Friends" and their decades-long bond.
Stage 24 at Warner Bros. drove much of that nostalgia: Kudrow said filming the third and final eight-episode season of "The Comeback" there echoed where "Friends" ended, and she teared up over closing Valerie Cherish's story.
The pair also floated a new sitcom idea with Courteney Cox, with Kudrow saying she would return to multi-cam for a strong script and Aniston joking they should pitch a "Girlfriends"-style project.
AI became a second theme because "The Comeback" imagines Valerie joining an AI-written sitcom; both actors said the technology is poorly understood, though Kudrow argued audiences will quickly decide what works.
The conversation also linked their current work: Aniston discussed "The Morning Show" season 4 and Jeremy Irons' role as Alex Levy's father, while Kudrow reflected on finally binge-watching all 10 years of "Friends" and loving it.
