Lisa Kudrow is standing by her “Friends.”
The sitcom alum addressed the news that “Friends” co-creator Marta Kauffman donated 4 million to her alma mater Brandeis University to establish a fund to support scholars studying Africa and the African diaspora upon reflection over the lack of diversity in the hit sitcom series, which ran from 1994 to 2004. Kauffman admitted that she was “embarrassed” and felt the need to “course-correct” by way of the academic fund.
“Friends” star Kudrow, who led the series alongside David Schimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, and Matt LeBlanc, told The Daily Beast that Kauffman understandably wrote about her experience as a post-grad.
“I feel like it was a show created by two people who went to Brandeis and wrote about their lives after college,” Kudrow explained. “And for shows especially, when it’s going to be a comedy that’s character-driven, you write what you know.
