"Friends" was big enough to score a slew of A-list guest stars when it aired on NBC's Thursday night Must See TV schedule. Everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Brad Pitt guest-starred on the show. But an episode featuring another big-name actor reigns as Lisa Kudrow's favorite of all time.
When asked what her favorite episode of the sitcom was, Kudrow went to Season 8, and the episode titled "The One with the Halloween Party." Kudrow discussed her top episode in a 2014 Reddit AMA (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2l71g6/lisa_kudrow_comeback_over_here_ama/), and her reason for loving this particular episode is touching. "The Halloween party that Sean Penn appeared in," she said of the October 2001 episode. Penn played a character named Eric in the episode, and Kudrow did double duty as Phoebe and her twin sister, Ursula.
Kudrow explained that she picked that episode for "a lot of reasons," not just that cameo by the Oscar-winning actor. "Number one was it was the first show we shot after 9/11," she wrote (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2l71g6/comment/cls22h8/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). "And that whole week, while driving in L.A., people would pull up, and give me a very sad look and a quiet 'thank you' for making them laugh."
"The One with the Halloween Party" was the one and only Halloween episode ever on "Friends," but Penn did make a second appearance as Eric that season, at the request of his kids Dylan and Hopper, who were superfans of the show, according to Entertainment Weekly (https://ew.com/article/2001/11/09/how-did-friends-get-sean-penn/).
