Lisa Kudro Talks THE COMEBACK and More
By: Sally Henry Fuller Nov. 09, 2014
Friends alumna and THE COMEBACK star Lisa Kudrow recently chatted about the show making its comeback on HBO this year. This is a long-awaited second season, airing nine years after the first season.
She is known for having said that the show was ahead of its time, but in this interview, she says, "To be honest, I don't think it was that far ahead of its time. I think it was maybe a season ahead of its time, but we didn't have a second season in 2006, so ... [ laughs]. Michael at one point was saying, "It's good to be ahead of the curve, but what if we're a little too ahead of the curve?" I was like, "That's why we're on HBO!" I always thought the second season was when people were going to understand, like other shows that became big hits. [King's previous HBO show] "Sex and the City," I think, took a little while to take off. "

Lisa Kudrow (Emmy® winner for "Friends") stars as the embattled Valerie Cherish, a fading TV "It Girl" who was once so desperate to stay in the spotlight that she allowed cameras to follow her every move as she appeared on a new sitcom, with disastrous results. When the HBO comedy series THE COMEBACK returns for eight episodes on Sunday, Nov. 9 at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT), Valerie thinks she has it all figured out this time. She doesn't.Read the full interview here.
