In an interview with The Times in London, the 62-year-old said the sitcom still generates that annual residual income more than 30 years after its 1994 debut.
Kudrow also said she only recently began watching the show properly after Matthew Perry's death in October 2023, praising her co-stars and calling Perry "beyond us all".
