Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay in “Friends,” revealed during an interview on the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend that she was irritated by the audience watching the tapings of the show “because they laughed for too long.”
For the 60-year-old actress, the reaction of the people present sometimes made filming difficult and complicated the work for the cast. Kudrow explained that they laughed at moments she didn’t think required such an exaggerated response.
On the other hand, the lack of laughter was also a problem. According to the actress, each episode of the series took between six and eight hours to film, and the actors had to do many takes, which left the audience present tired and less inclined to laugh.
But for Kudrow, the most important thing was thinking about the people who would watch at home; “A TV show is not for the studio audience,” she said. “It is made for the viewers at home. It is for them that we are in service. If it were a play, yes, laugh as much as you want. That’s okay.”
