In a famous Friends prop, Lisa Kudrow recently disclosed that she had found a hidden gift from Matthew Perry: a note left for her by her late friend and co-star.
During a Tuesday episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Kudrow revealed that on the last day of filming for the ten-season sitcom, Perry gave her the “Cookie Time” cookie jar.
Kudrow acknowledged, “Yes, but I’m too scared to tell you what,” when asked if she had taken anything from the set. I can’t say, but I am too. I’m scared. Someone is going to come take it away from me.
Barrymore jokingly said, “I’m not sure why. It was the Cookie Time jar, I just realized.
In reference to the noteworthy prop that Perry had stolen off the set, Kudrow explained, “No, Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode.”
“I just discovered the note he left for me in it,” Kudrow informed Barrymore. “He did, but I hadn’t opened it or taken a look inside. I forgot about the note he had in there.
This discovery evoked happy recollections of her time with Perry, even if the No Good Deed star did not divulge the contents of the note. According to Kudrow, the gift’s inside joke originated during filming a scene for “Friends.” In a Jimmy Kimmel Live broadcast from 2020, she told the tale.
“Oh, I’m late,” was my line. When she realized she didn’t have a watch, it was too late, so she told Kimmel, “I better get going.” “As I was speaking, I thought, ‘Oh good, there’s a clock.’ I pointed to it and said, ‘Oh, look at the time. I had best leave.
Did you point to the cookie jar and say, “Look at the time?” Perry asked her after the fact.
The lighthearted moment captures the fun and friendship that characterized their tenure on the program, which Kudrow will never forget until Perry passed away on October 28, 2023, from the severe effects of ketamine.
In November 2023, Kudrow honored Perry on Instagram:
“I appreciate that every day you made me laugh so hard at something you said that my muscles hurt and tears streamed down my cheeks. I appreciate that you were willing to make concessions in a six-way partnership. And lots of ‘talking.'”
The cast’s strong bond is shown by Kudrow’s rediscovery of the note. Furthermore, Perry’s regifting of the cookie jar to Kudrow may make it one of the most considerate stolen items in TV history, even if it was taken directly from the “Friends” set.
“Time is everything,” Kudrow told Barrymore after considering her discovery.
