Lisa Kudrow Reveals She Recently Found a Note from Matthew Perry in the “Friends” Cookie Time Jar He Gifted Her

Matthew Perry is showing Lisa Kudrow signs more than a year after his death.

When Drew Barrymore asked if Kudrow had ever stolen anything from set on the Jan. 7 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress teased that she had, but she didn't want to say what — and that prompted Barrymore to wonder about the fate of the cookie time jar from Friends.

"Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode," Kudrow, 61, said of the iconic prop, before sharing that she'd recently rediscovered it — along with an extra special memento from Perry, who died in October 2023 at age 54.

"I had recently found the note that he had in it for me," Kudrow shared. "I hadn't opened it up or looked inside of it. But yeah, he did. He had a note in there and I forgot about it."

Kudrow then echoed what Barrymore, 49, said as she mused, "Timing is everything."

The No Good Deed star previously revealed that the cookie time jar had been a "wrap gift" from Perry during a 2020 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

"I mean we were laughing hysterically and crying, because it was the end [of the show]," she said of her response to the gift.

Perry gifted the prop to his costar in an ode to a scene from an early episode of the show, where Kudrow realized she wasn't wearing a watch for a scene that she needed to be, so she referred to the cookie jar as a clock.

She was skeptical of how he got the jar to gift it, though.

"The first thing I asked was, 'This is so nice. Did you get permission?'" Kudrow said, as she remembered, "I mean, my car used to get searched every night when I left."

In a 2021 interview, the cast told PEOPLE what they'd each taken from the set as a memento, and Perry echoed the story Kudrow told Kimmel about why he gave her the cookie jar: "Because she at one point looked at it and thought it was a real clock."

Kudrow herself said she held onto Phoebe's rings — and then wore them for the Max reunion special — as well as her security badges, which she also brought with her to the reunion.

Jennifer Aniston took one of Monica's dresses, which she said she "still has" and will "wear to this day," while Courteney Cox shared her "regret" for not taking something with her.

"I'm actually going to steal something tonight," she joked about being back on the set for the reunion.

Matt LeBlanc, meanwhile, took an "I Love Friends" license plate frame, which he then put on David Schwimmer's car "and it took him a week to realize.

Schwimmer didn't remember, and then said he'd stolen "a little 'Professor Geller' placard from my office at the museum. That and the couch, but that's it."
