Lisa Kudrow Will Join Courteney Cox-Arquette On ‘Cougar Town’
While we wait to hear about any movement on an official Friends reunion, Entertainment Weekly brings us the great news that Lisa Kudrow has officially signed on to do a guest stint on Courteney Cox-Arquette’s new hit sitcom Cougar Town!
It’s not an actual Friends reunion, but I’ll take it: Lisa Kudrow has signed on to guest star opposite ex-Friend Courteney Cox on Cougar Town, an ABC spokesperson confirms. “She’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though [she's] mean to me,” Cox told tvguidemagazine.com. The Cox-Kudrow reunion episode will shoot next month and air in early 2010.
And this is how Cox described Kudow’s character to TV Guide:
“If it all works out, she’ll play a dermatologist that my character can’t stop going to even though the doctor is mean to me.” Is it a Botox thing? The show’s writers are not exactly sure yet, says Cox, who’s also producing the show, “but whatever it is, she’s the best in town at what she does and I become addicted.”
It turns out that both Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston have been considered as future guest stars … this is what Courteney had to say about the prospect of having other former Friends castmates appear on the show:
“I did ask Matthew [Perry] if he’d play my boyfriend on the show,” she says, “but he thought it was a little too much after Chandler and Monica.” Then there’s Jennifer Aniston, whom Cox has remained closest with among the Friends stars. “I’d love for her to be on the show, too,” Cox says. “Obviously we can’t cast her so close to Lisa’s appearance but if there’s a great part for her, I’d send it right away. She’s younger than me so she can’t play my contemporary even though she did on Friends, but I think we can find something great for her to play.”
This is all very exciting stuff to mebbe look forward to … but for now, I’m perfectly content with having Phoebe and Monica together again … er, Lisa and Courteney, that is ;) The Friends reunion may never actually take place but in the meantime, we have Cougar Town to enjoy!

While Friends was a good show and all, Cougar town in my opinion is a total flop. Its Courtney Cox not acting as a desperate over 40 year old but Courtney Cox acting as a desperate actor…..wanting that taste of hitdom once again. My votes with modern family….its more relevant to what is going on today!!

Jennifer Aniston is still pretty active in Hollywood and her career is still thriving. Lisa doesn’t have much going on. Plus, Jennifer was on ‘Dirt’ so it kind of makes sense.

i’m sorry, but what is w/those ugly shorts Courtney decided to wear. What was she thinking, she’s SOOOOOOO far from fat, but those shorts make her look like she has a pooch.

That picture is ‘odd’ – why would 2 of them wear the same shows & not the 3rd?
LOL

@Lisa: Lol it is odd. but Kudrow is wayy taller than the other two hence the no platform shoes for her.
