Lisa Kudrow has clarified her feelings about live audience on the sets of the popular sitcom, Friends after her former co-worker, following comments from her former co-star, Jennifer Aniston, who said Lisa “hated” it.
Lisa explained that she didn’t hate the live audience but found their reactions sometimes excessive. Jennifer had mentioned in a past interview that Lisa disliked the live audience during their Friends days. The two actors have shared a close bond since their time on the 90s sitcom.

Lisa denies Jennifer’s claims of ‘hating’ live audience on set
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lisa stated, she did feel that at times they used to laugh a lot more than necessary. “No, that’s not exactly — no, no. It irritated me if they would laugh for too long,” she responded to Jennifer’s earlier claims.
She further explained, “God bless them. They were so excited to be there that sometimes the laughter would just be longer than if they would have laughed at anything else. I was like, ‘All right, well, take it easy. It’s not that funny. And there’s more to say!'”
Jennifer’s claim came a while ago from her interview with Quinta Brunson for Variety’s Actors for Actors where she told about Lisa’s dislike for an audience while filming Friends. She recalled, “Lisa Kudrow, by the way, hated when the audience laughed… She’d be like, ‘I’m not done! It’s not that funny!'”
