#JenniferAniston says the #Friends cast used to “gather in the very, very beginning” (“back in the 1900s,” she jokes) to “watch the show at one of our homes.”

And then, #LisaKudrow recalls, they “got busy.”

“There were whole episodes that I hadn’t seen,” Kudrow adds. “I just couldn’t sit there at home and have anybody walk by seeing me watching a show that I’m in. Because it felt embarrassing to me.”

Decades after the sitcom ended, the two stars revisited those memories and caught up on their latest projects. Aniston is returning as broadcaster Alex Levy for Season 4 of Apple TV’s “The Morning Show,” where her character reckons with personal issues opposite her father, played by Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons.

Kudrow has been busy with “The Comeback,” for which she and co-creator Michael Patrick King wrote all eight episodes of the third and (sob!) final season, bringing Valerie Cherish’s Hollywood journey to a close. She also finally watched “Friends” in its entirety for the first time.

“I loved it with all my heart,” she tells Aniston. “And, man, you’re all good. Holy cow! You were really good, Jennifer.”
