Lisa Kudrow Goes Back To 'Central Perk' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-17-2008, 11:54 AM

Lisa Kudrow revisited the Friends coffee shop set on Thursday for a skit on comedienne Ellen DeGeneres' chat show. The Central Perk set is now part of a museum exhibit on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California - and Kudrow admitted it was strange to be back in the coffee shop where she and her co-stars on the smash-hit show hung-out for a decade.

Speaking from the set, Kudrow said, "This is weird... It brings back a lot of memories."

Later, in the Ellen studio, the actress revealed she hadn't been back to Central Perk since the show ended in May, 2004.

She added, "That's the set. I mean, we were done shooting and they just started taking it out."

I find this to be very interesting news! As a lot of you probably know, even before Lisa was a costumor at Central Perk, she was a waitress at Riff's Bar and Grill. I wonder if there will ever be an event in which she returns to that location! I think that it would be great! Over on the "Mad About You" page of this site, I recently started a thread telling poeple there what I read here and how nice it would be to see her again!

I was watching "Ellen" today and they had Dennis Quaid in there, but they kept saying it was "Starbucks". I couldn't really hear what was going on, so maybe I was missing something. But the "Central Perk" looked really familiar!

I saw this the other day. That was truly great. For one second I thought it was archived footage, from around the finale, but then I realized it was a new interview.

One thing that I would still be interested in feedback about is the idea of there being another report or interview in which she returns to Riff's Bar and Grill which she was involved in even before there was a Central Perk!
