Lisa Kudrow Reveals New Note Found in a Gift From Matthew Perry

Lisa Kudrow recently revealed she discovered a hidden gift from late actor and friend Matthew Perry in an iconic Friends prop.

In an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, Kudrow revealed she discovered a note Perry left for her inside the Friends cookie jar, which he gifted to her after the series wrapped in 2004.

When asked whether she’d stolen anything from the set, the actress admitted, “Yes, but I’m too afraid to tell you what. I’m afraid. Someone will come, take it away from me.”

“Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode,” she revealed. “I had recently found the note that he had in it for me. I hadn’t opened it up or looked inside of it. But yeah, he did. He had a note in there and I forgot about it.”

The No Good Deed star mentioned during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live that the actor had given the cookie jar as a “wrap gift.”

“I mean, we were laughing hysterically and crying because it was the end of the show,” she stated in response to the gift. He gifted the prop to his co-star in an ode to a scene from an early episode of the show, in which Kudrow realized she wasn’t wearing a watch for a scene where she needed to be, so she referred to the cookie jar as a clock.

“The first thing I asked was, ‘This is so nice. Did you get permission?'” Kudrow recalled, as she remembered, “I mean, my car used to get searched every night when I left.”

Kudrow, Perry, and their Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, and David Schwimmer spent 10 years making the iconic NBC sitcom, which aired for 236 episodes. Perry died in October 2023 at 54 years old from the acute effects of ketamine. Kudrow honored her late co-star with a photo of the two after they filmed the Friends pilot.
