Every comedian delivers their jokes differently. Lisa Kudrow is deliberately halting and at times absurd—but people love her for it. Just ask any of the 10 million viewers who religiously watched her play Phoebe Buffay on Friends for a decade. Even the late Matthew Perry, known for his own sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing, said that Kudrow was one of the funniest people he’d ever worked with. From her time on Friends—and let’s not forget her roles in the cult favorite Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion and The Comeback—to her latest project, starring alongside Ray Romano in Netflix’s new sitcom No Good Deed, Kudrow continues to assert her comedic talent. To celebrate the release of the series, Kudrow shares her least favorite things. —Carolina de Armas
least favorite James Bond: Were any of them bad?
Preferred deadly sin: Gluttony, I guess, is the easiest to prefer because it’s hard for me to have just a couple of bites of the foods I shouldn’t eat (macaroni and cheese, chocolate-chip cookies).
Food that makes you gag: Oysters.
Book you never finished: Organic-chemistry textbook.
Film you walked out of: It happened once that I can remember … Doctor Zhivago. I was five years old.
Song you never want to hear again: I don’t have a lot of “never again”s with songs, but right now it’s “Jingle Bells.”
Character from history you most dislike: There are too many to choose from! But how do you not say Adolf Hitler?
