Lisa Kudrow remembers sentimental 'Friends' gift from Matthew Perry: 'I forgot about it'

Lisa Kudrow and Matthew Perry will always be friends.

The "No Good Deed" Netflix star opened up about her late "Friends" co-star Perry, who died from the acute effects of ketamine in October 2023, during Tuesday's episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show."

"Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode," Kudrow told Barrymore. "I had recently found the note that he had in it for me. I hadn't opened it up or looked inside of it."

Kudrow confessed to Barrymore that Perry gifted her a cookie jar he took from the famed sitcom's set, telling the talk show host that she was "too afraid" to tell her what she pilfered from the set herself.

"He had a note in there, and I forgot about it," Kudrow told Barrymore, adding that "timing is everything."

In November 2023, she paid tribute to Perry in an Instagram post following his death.

The actress, who played Phoebe Buffay opposite Perry’s Chandler Bing, shared a throwback photo of the two together, saying goodbye to her beloved co-star.

"Shot the pilot, Friends Like Us, got picked up then immediately, we were at the NBC Upfronts. Then…You suggested we play poker AND made it so much fun while we initially bonded. Thank you for that," Kudrow wrote. "Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY."

She continued: "Thank you for your open heart in a six way relationship that required compromise. And a lot of 'talking,'" Kudrow wrote. "Thank you for showing up at work when you weren’t well and then, being completely brilliant.

"Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you. Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew" she concluded.
