Lisa Kudrow (No Good Deed, Friends, The Comeback) is an award-winning actor and producer. Lisa joins the Armchair Expert to discuss her background as a pre-med biology student at Vassar, not being a people pleaser in the Groundlings, and how Jon Lovitz became her bridge to comedy. Lisa and Dax talk about why Conan O’Brien is the best person to bring to a dinner party, listening to the internal voice that told her to be an actress, and how pan au chocolate and a walk in the sun can be a cure for rejection. Lisa explains how home is the people you’re with, the fallacy of the healing power of fame, and why she’ll never be tired of talking about Friends.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Did I have it? You can't trick me into singing.
It's not really right, but it's close. It's close. Yeah. What's the chorus? Just give me the words. I'll be there for you. Thank you. I'll be there for you.
What's the second part?
That was it. That was it. Oh my God, what's happening with you? Hearing the song come out of my mouth is very disruptive. Well, we're just... Disregulating. Okay, can we please? Friends! What if I thought at some point they screamed friends in the song? Our first friend is here. This is very important. Maybe that's why I'm getting upset.
Yeah, you're getting nervous because it's such an honor and you're afraid I'm going to anger our lovely guest, Lisa Kudrow. You can't. She's a groundling improv genius. She knows how to party and get down and play. She sure does.
She was awesome. I love Lisa Kudrow. Me too. Well, that's our guest, Lisa Kudrow. I said it seven times. She's an award-winning actor, a producer, friends, da, da, da, da, friends. The comeback, Romy and Michelle's high school reunion, web therapy. I was on that. Who do you think you are? And okay, her new show, I say from the bottom of my heart, is delicious. I can't wait.
You're going to love it. I know. I told you, it's very Murders in the Building with apartments. Oh, the Murders in the Building. I know. I'm so excited. Yes. It's really, really great. She's fantastic in it. Please enjoy. Guys, this is a huge deal. I know. I feel very grateful. We're seven years in and it's our first friend.
It'll come up in the episode, but I want to say it now. We did almost have a friend, David Schwimmer. Yeah. And he had to cancel because he had a really bad ear infection. Yes. And Robbie Wobb said he had Schwimmer's ear. Yeah. It's really good. It's a great joke. It bears repeating twice.
Okay, please enjoy Lisa Kudrow. You know those creepy stories that give you goosebumps? The ones that make you really question what's real? Well, what if I told you that some of the strangest, darkest, and most mysterious stories are not found in haunted houses or abandoned forests, but instead in hospital rooms and doctor's offices? Hi, I'm Mr. Ballin, the host of Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries.
