In an interview for Variety‘s Actors on Actors, Kudrow and Aniston acknowledged that Friends’ Thanksgiving episodes had a slew of big-name guest stars.
“When Brad was on, that was hilarious,” Kudrow said.
“I know. How funny,” Aniston added. “The movie stars that came on Friends. Brad, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts. Isabella Rossellini. We had so many — Sean Penn.”
And while there was plenty of star power, the guests themselves were often nervous to be acting on a sitcom filmed before a live studio audience.
“They were always nervous. Remember? I always found it fascinating how nervous they were,” Aniston noted.
Added Kudrow: “Yes. Nervous. Well, because what’s the tone? It’s not theater; it’s for TV. It’s not a movie. What the hell is this? And it’s a good question. And I remember someone asked one time. I didn’t know how to explain it, so I said, ‘Oh, just talk louder. Same intention, just —’ “
“Just louder!” Aniston said.
