Lisa Kudrow: 'Friends' Reunion Would Be 'Fun' – Watch 'Today' Show Video

Lisa Kudrow said on Tuesday’s “Today” show that a “Friends” reunion would be “fun,” but once again confirmed there is nothing in the works.
Kudrow was on the morning show to promote her latest movie, Table 19. But during the course of the live interview, Savannah Guthrie couldn’t resist asking about “Friends.” The anchor segued into the topic by bringing up the “Will & Grace” revival, about which Kudrow said she’s “really excited.”
Guthrie replied, “Okay, now, see how you’re excited? That’s how people would feel if ‘Friends’ had a reunion! Do you think it could ever happen? I mean, could you get the group together?” Kudrow jokingly answered that she “personally” couldn’t orchestrate it, and pointed out, “But we have convened. Privately. For dinner. And it was great.”
“But what about us?” asked Guthrie. Kudrow responded, “Well, I’m sorry… It was really fun. We had such a good time. It was hilarious. We were laughing non-stop.” Guthrie shot back, “See, now you’re just being mean.”
As the actress continued to tease the NBC personality, Guthrie continued to press on the possibility of an actual on-screen reunion. “But if we don’t tell you one’s coming and then it doesn’t happen, you have no reason to be disappointed,” Kudrow argued. “I’m managing expectations. I don’t see it happening. It would be fun, but what would it be about? Think about it.”
The star’s comments back up Gossip Cop’s own reporting. In November, we busted a Life & Style cover story that falsely claimed a “Friends” reunion show was in the works. Kudrow’s rep, along with spokespeople for the rest of cast, exclusively told Gossip Cop the report was untrue. Check out the video from “Today” below.
