It's April 28th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered and star-driven. Lisa Kudro just dropped some real talk about her time on friends, revealing how the mostly male writers got nasty when she, Courtney Cox, or Jennifer Aniston, loved a line. They'd straight up insult the women on set during those 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. The show, created by David Crane and Marta Kaufman, starred the whole crew, including the late Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc, and became a massive NBC hit that still pulls crowds in syndication. Those rough experiences stuck with Kudro, and even inspired her series The Comeback, which she co-created with Michael Patrick King from Sexenda. City famed to dive into the chaotic, male-dominated energy of writer's rooms. King once called out how TV writers often saw women over 40 as unfuckable, trapping everyone in soft-mork madness while cranking out episodes.

Earlier this month, Kudro added, she sometimes felt ignored on set too, but friends keeps winning new fans on HBO Max right alongside the final. Season of The Comeback airing Sundays at 10.30pm.
