在演艺圈打拼40年后，丽莎·库卓正经历着一次“回归”。她的HBO剧集《归来记》讲述了一位过气情景喜剧明星瓦莱丽·谢里什的故事，她参与了一档关于自己试图东山再起的真人秀。
这部剧既好笑又令人尴尬，其幕后故事亦是如此。
由艾美奖得主库卓和前《欲望都市》主创迈克尔·帕特里克·金联合打造的《归来记》于2005年首播。第一季播出后便被取消，但却成为了 cult 经典，因此该剧于2014年被复活，推出第二季。
此后，它再次被搁置。但在12年后的今天，第三季终于回归，今晚将在HBO开播。

我们于11月前往华纳兄弟制片厂参加了该剧的录制现场，很明显，即便与瓦莱丽·谢里什这个角色阔别十年，库卓的表演依然驾轻就熟，丝毫未生疏。
当被问及重新扮演瓦莱丽的感受时，库卓形容这种感觉是“令人不安的舒适”。

有些东西永远失去了。饰演瓦莱丽忠实理发师米奇的演员罗伯特·迈克尔·莫里斯于2017年因癌症去世。此后，库卓认为《归来记》已经结束。“我当时觉得不可能了，”她说，“没有米奇我演不了。不行，绝对不行。没有米奇我演不了。不行，不行，不行。不行，不行，不行。”
但最终，她和金找到了办法继续制作第三季，既向米奇致敬，又探讨人工智能和快速变化的电视行业等议题。剧组中还有新面孔：一位由库卓现实中的儿子朱利安·斯特恩饰演的科技人员。
让儿子出现在片场是什么感觉？“哦，简直是天堂，”库卓说，“他是我的宝贝！但他现在是个成年男人了，还留着胡子，你知道吗？是的。我为他紧张，他第一次参加剧本围读。但他表现得很棒。”
朱利安其实对片场并不陌生。当年她在《老友记》中饰演的菲比怀孕时，库卓现实中也正怀着朱利安。更巧合的是，《归来记》的拍摄地是华纳兄弟制片厂24号摄影棚——正是《老友记》全部236集大部分场景的拍摄场地。

回到同一个地方是否有特殊意义？“是的，”库卓说，“在不同层面上，这确实意义非凡。我们拍完了《老友记》，那是我职业生涯乃至整个人生中最重要的经历之一。现在我正在完成《归来记》三部曲，就在同一个地方完成了另一部最重要的作品。所以，这让我有点感慨。”
会更感慨吗？“可能会更感动。是的，现在我的鼻子都有点堵了。我不常哭，但鼻子会先红。”
“我从未经历过那种‘不，不，我不想再提《老友记》。我必须向前看，想演其他角色。不，你得知道我……’不，不，那没关系，”她说。
为什么没关系？“因为《老友记》给了我一切。真的，一切。我热爱饰演菲比。我热爱整个经历。如果你只知道我演过《老友记》，那也没关系。我怎么会不接受呢？”
当然，有些回忆是苦乐参半的。2023年，演员马修·佩里因药物过量去世，享年54岁。在2021年《老友记》重聚特别节目中，库卓承认自己很少看这部剧。但佩里去世后，她说自己从旧剧集中找到了慰藉。
“我觉得如果有人路过看到我在看自己演的剧，会很不自在；这让我尴尬，”她说，“但后来，佩里去世后，我看了很多马拉松式的剧集。真的，这让我感到很安慰。所以我最近才开始睡前看《老友记》，因为我没看完所有集数。”
她甚至对某些情节感到惊讶。“而且真的很有趣！”
当被问及是否会有演员重聚时，库卓表示：“我不知道。我觉得不会了。你永远不知道为什么或怎么会重聚。也许会有意义，但现在我觉得没必要。”
目前，库卓专注于《归来记》和瓦莱丽·谢里什，这个观众似乎永远无法释怀的标志性角色。
她是否可能再次饰演菲比·布菲？“不知道，这是个好问题，”她说，“但也不是不可能。我会做一些我以前做过的事！”

Lisa Kudrow on making “The Comeback”
March 22, 2026 / 10:11 AM EDT / CBS News
After 40 years in showbiz, Lisa Kudrow is making a “comeback.” Her HBO series, “The Comeback,” is the story of a faded sitcom star, Valerie Cherish, who signs on to a reality show about her attempts to stage a comeback.
It’s equal parts funny and cringey, and so is the show’s back-story.
Created by Emmy-winner Kudrow and former “Sex and the City” boss Michael Patrick King, “The Comeback” premiered in 2005. It was canceled after one season, but became a cult favorite, and so the show was revived for a second season in 2014.
After that, it was shelved again. But now, a dozen years later, it’s back for season three, starting on HBO tonight.

We went to a taping at Warner Brothers in November, and it was clear that even after a decade away from Valerie Cherish, Kudrow hadn’t missed a step.
Asked how it feels to be back in Valerie’s shoes, Kudrow described it as “unsettlingly comfortable.”

Some things were missing. Actor Robert Michael Morris, who played Valerie’s loyal hairdresser, Mickey, died of cancer in 2017. And after that, Kudrow thought “The Comeback” was over. “It was a no for me,” she said. “I don’t know how to do it without Mickey. Unh-uh. Don’t know how to do it without Mickey. No. No, no, no. No, no, no.”
But eventually she and King figured out a way to do a third season and honor Mickey, all while tackling issues like AI and a rapidly changing TV world. Among the new faces on the set: a tech guy played by Kudrow’s real-life son, Julian Stern.
What was it like to have her son on set? “Oh, it was heaven,” Kudrow said. “It’s my baby! But he’s a grown man and beard, you know? Yeah. I was nervous for him, his first, like, table read. But he was great.”
Julian’s been on a TV set before. When her “Friends” character Phoebe was pregnant, Kudrow was actually pregnant with Julian. What’s more, “The Comeback” is being shot on Warner Brothers’ Soundstage 24 – the very same set where most of the 236 episodes of “Friends” were filmed.

Was it special being back in the same place? “Yeah,” Kudrow said. “On different levels, it definitely is. We finished up ‘Friends,’ which was one of the biggest things in my professional life, and life, period. And now I’m finishing up ‘The Comeback’ trilogy, same place where I finished the other most important thing. So, yeah, that made me a little emotional. “
Maybe more than a little? “Maybe more emotional. It did, yeah. And my nose is running now. I don’t cry, but my nose runs.
“I never went through that period of, ‘No, no, I don’t want to talk about “Friends.” I have to move on, and I want to play other characters. And no, you have to know me from …’ No, no, that’s fine,” she said.
And why is that? “Because ‘Friends’ gave me everything. It just did. And I loved being Phoebe. I loved the whole experience. And it’s fine if all you know that I’ve ever done is ‘Friends.’ How could I not be okay with that?”
Of course, some of the memories are bittersweet. Castmate Matthew Perry died in 2023 from a drug overdose at age 54. During the 2021 “Friends” reunion special, Kudrow admitted she rarely watched the series. But after Perry’s death, she says she found solace in old episodes.
“I think I was self-conscious if anyone walked by and saw me watching my own show; it embarrassed me,” she said. “But then, when Matthew passed away, there were marathons, and I watched it. And it really, it did comfort me. So, I very recently just started watching ‘Friends’ before going to bed. ‘Cause I didn’t see all of ’em.”
She says she’s even surprised by some of what happens. “And it’s funny!”
Asked if she thinks there’ll be another reunion of the cast, Kudrow said, “I don’t know. I don’t think so. You never know, like, why or how. Maybe it would make sense. I don’t know. Right now, I don’t think it does.”
Right now, Kudrow is focused on “The Comeback,” and Valerie Cherish, yet another iconic character that audiences just can’t seem to let go.
Is it possible she would revisit Phoebe Buffay? “I don’t know; that’s a good question,” she said. “It’s not out of the realm. I’ll just do things I did before!”
