Lisa Kudrow’s First TV Show After Friends Was Strangely Similar To Matt LeBlanc’s Career After Joey

After Friends ended in 2004, Lisa Kudrow took arguably the most ambitious next step of anyone in the show's main cast by creating and starring in her own sitcom less than a year later. Kudrow's mockumentary The Comeback was very much a passion project that differed markedly in style and theme from Friends. Yet, some of its storylines are strangely similar to the real-life career of a fellow Friends star. The Comeback had a decade-long hiatus between its only two seasons, but when it returned in 2014, the parallels with Matt LeBlanc's career were even clearer.
