The "Friends" reunion will soon be airing and with it, we get to see Lisa Kudrow aka Phoebe Buffet aka Princess Consuela Bananahammock light up the screens for all the fans.
After leaving Netflix, "Friends" can now be streamed on HBO Max and fans cannot wait to see the sextet back together again, even if it's just for one episode.
Meanwhile 57-year-old Kudrow went on Conan O'Brien's talk show to share what she could about the reunion. What makes us curious, is why would she be self-conscious about it?
"Friends" 17 Years Ago. Friends, To Date

"Friends" ended 17 years ago, with a tearjerker of an episode. Jennifer Aniston's Rachel is back with David Schwimmer's Ross because lobsters, you know...
And Courteney Cox's Monica, married to Matthew Perry's Chandler finally get their baby, and it's the double surprise of twins.
Matt LeBlanc's Joey is still single, still struggling, and still very much ready to mingle. Then there is Lisa Kudrow's Phoebe Buffet, very much married to Paul Rudd's Mike, who by that way, will not be joining the Reunion considering he's a bit busy playing Ant-Man these days...
So what is the reunion all about?
Lisa Kudrow Has Moved On, Like The Others

"Friends: The Reunion" is not a new episode of the sitcom. What it is is the cast and the crew getting together and reminiscing about the show and how their lives remain impacted by it.
Like Matthew Perry calls it, "The show that thanks to all of you, doesn't go away."
Of course, Lisa Kudrow has moved on, as we saw her as Martha in "The Girl on the Train" and in comedy series such as Netflix's "Space Force" among others.
But is Lisa happy about "Friends: The Reunion"? Scroll to find out...

When speaking to O'Brien, Kudrow did reveal a bit about the show, saying, "we all, the cast, return to the original sound stage, Stage 24 on the Warner Brothers Studio Lot for an unscripted reunion special in celebration of the show".
And then she added, "isn't that exciting?".
What do fans call the Reunion? As one commented on Kudrow's Instagram, "Otherwise known as “the one where everyone will be watching"! ❤️"
Still, why has the unflappable Phoebe Buffet, turned into the self-conscious Lisa Kudrow? You do remember Buffet damning her own family, right?
But Kudrow Feels 'Self-Conscious'. Why?

So Kudrow gets a bit conscious whenever "Friends" airs on TV and she told O'Brien, "‘I'm so self-conscious of, okay, everybody I'm on TV now. You know..."
While we do know, we still love watching her.
Good thing that the Reunion will air May 27th on HBO Max, and will also feature special guests like David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Tom Selleck, Reese Witherspoon, and Malala Yousafzai. Whew!
