Lisa Kudrow reveals how inside knowledge of Seinfeld ‘set a tone’ for Friends success ‘Seinfeld’ was already a big hit by the time ‘Friends’ made its debut.
Lisa Kudrow has revealed how Courteney Cox’s knowledge of the inner workings of Seinfeld helped create a more productive working environment on the set of Friends.
However, it was only after Friends reruns aired after Seinfeld that the show “exploded”, Kudrow said.
Cox played Meryl, a woman who dated Jerry Seinfeld in the season five episode “The Wife”.
“I remember going to some party and Jerry Seinfeld was there, and I said, ‘Hi,’ and he said, ‘You’re welcome.’”.
