Lisa Kudrow and Linda Ellerbee were guests on a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, and they brought plenty of laughs and interesting stories with them. The conversation started off with Ellen expressing her admiration for Lisa, saying she’s been a huge fan of hers for years. Lisa’s response? “You’re so sweet!” It’s clear that these two have a great rapport.
One interesting topic that came up during the interview was when Ellen mentioned that Lisa had played an evil twin in one of her roles. Lisa agreed that it was weird to play such a different character, especially considering she’s known for being kind and gentle in real life. Ellen even joked that she would take over the interview if Lisa didn’t want to talk anymore, showing just how comfortable these two are with each other.
But the conversation quickly turned to art, with Ellen expressing her love for all forms of artistic expression. She even mentioned that she’s received many pieces of viewer art over the years, all of which are unique and different. In fact, Ellen has started her own museum called “The Riff Raff Room,” where she showcases all of the viewer art and show memorabilia she’s collected. Ellen’s enthusiasm for art and creativity shines through as she describes the different pieces she’s received, from paintings to rugs.
After a brief tour of her museum, Ellen introduces her first guest, Lisa Kudrow. Lisa is known for her role as Phoebe Buffay on the hit TV show Friends, and she’s now starring in her own series called The Comeback on HBO. Lisa and Ellen discuss how they both got involved in the show and the excitement of being back on the small screen.
Lisa also shares a heartwarming story about how she met her husband, Michel. She saw him at a party, but he was dating her friend at the time. Eventually, they reconnected years later and have been together ever since. It’s clear that Lisa is happily celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary.
In addition to discussing her new show, Lisa reveals that she’s a fan of reality TV, particularly The Apprentice and America’s Next Top Model. She even admits to occasionally watching for research purposes. Ellen playfully brings up Kendra, the winner of The Apprentice, and Lisa confirms that she was rooting for her all along.
To wrap up the interview, Ellen challenges Lisa to a game called “What’s Your Next Line,” where she has to remember lines from Friends. Although the game doesn’t go perfectly, Lisa proves she still has a great sense of humor and a knack for improv.
Overall, the interview was entertaining and lively, showcasing the chemistry between Ellen and her guests. It’s clear that The Ellen Degeneres Show continues to bring on dynamic guests who keep viewers engaged and entertained.
