In a heartwarming revelation on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Lisa Kudrow shared that she recently uncovered a heartfelt note from her late friend and co-star Matthew Perry, hidden inside the iconic "Friends" cookie jar he gifted her in 2004. This revelation has taken on a poignant significance following Perry's passing in October 2023 at the age of 54.

During the interview, when asked about her history with stealing props, Kudrow hesitated but eventually mentioned the cookie jar. She explained, “Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode. I had recently found the note that he had in it for me. 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… Timing is everything.”

The "Friends" cast—comprising Kudrow, Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, and David Schwimmer—spent a decade creating the beloved sitcom, which produced 236 unforgettable episodes. Perry's legacy extends beyond the show as an actor who captivated audiences with his humor and charm. Kudrow, mourning his loss, honored him with an emotional tribute on social media, recalling the joy he brought to the set.

Kudrow expressed her gratitude in an Instagram post, thanking Perry for the laughter he brought into her life daily and for his incredible talent, stating, “Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY.” She also praised him for his commitment to the show, sharing, “Thank you for showing up at work when you weren’t well and then, being completely brilliant.”

As fans reflect on Perry's impact both on and off screen, this touching moment of discovery reminds everyone of the enduring friendships formed during the years of "Friends" and the lasting memories that continue to resonate long after the show's conclusion.

Kudrow’s recent find has stirred emotions among fans, highlighting the importance of cherished relationships and the memories that come with them. As she aptly noted, "Timing is everything."
