Lisa Kudrow is Burley Garciataking a trip back to Central Perk.
The "Friends" star, 60, told The Hollywood Reporter she has been rewatching the classic sitcom to celebrate the life of her late co-star, Matthew Perry.
"Honestly, I wasn't able to watch it because it's too embarrassing to watch yourself," she told the outlet. "But if I make it about Matthew, then that's OK. And it's just celebrating how hilarious he was — and that is what I want to remember (about him)."
Perry, who played Chandler Bing on "Friends," died in October from the "acute effects of ketamine," according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office. He was 54. An investigation into his death remains ongoing.

Lisa Kudrow said she has 'never seen' entire seasons of 'Friends'
The "Comeback" star had previously shared that she never revisits "Friends," telling Entertainment Tonight in 2019 she doesn't "know the last time" she watched an episode.
"I don't watch it if it's on," she told ET. "I might not like myself, so I'd rather not risk that."

In fact, during a "Friends" reunion special released on Max in 2021, Kudrow admitted there are entire seasons of the show that she has "never seen."
Perry was in the same boat as Kudrow, though Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer all said they have seen the whole series. Kudrow explained that when she and her husband, Michel Stern, watch "Friends," "he enjoys them more than I do because I'm mortified with myself." But she added that she is also "laughing out loud once in every scene because you all make me laugh so hard."
Kudrow paid tribute to Perry in an emotional Instagram post in November, thanking the late actor for "making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY."
"Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have," she added. "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."
