While Lisa Kudrow‘s Friendscharacter, Phoebe Buffay, considers Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) one of her closest friends, the actress isn’t a fan of the fictional paleontologist.
In a March 20 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kudrow referenced her recent decision to watch all of Friends, which had a 10-season run until 2004. While speaking to the publication, Kudrow was asked how she now feels about Ross’ decision to have relations with Chloe (Angela Featherstone), known as the copy girl, after Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) asked for a break from their relationship during the show’s third season. Kudrow replied that while she was once “Team Ross” on the matter, she’s now “Team Rachel.”
“I’ve switched. I’ve made a switch. Ross was ridiculous. What a baby. You can’t plan a future with that guy. That’s how I feel now,” shared the Comeback star in the March 2026 interview.
