Lisa Kudrow Wants The Comeback To Get A Revival
Lisa Kudrow reveals she'd like her comedy-drama series The Comeback to have a revival. The Friends star is of course best known for her iconic role as offbeat Phoebe Buffay on the award-winning sitcom. Kudrow's also starred in several classic comedy films like Romy and Michele's High School Reunion and Easy A. More recently, she's appeared on screen as General Naird's wife Maggie in the Netflix comedy Space Force.
The Comeback was co-created by Kudrow and Sex and the City producer Michael Patrick King. It starred Kudrow as Valerie Cherish, a sitcom actress living in Los Angeles. Valerie is no thinly-veiled stand-in for Kudrow, though—unlike Kudrow's real-world career success, Valerie struggles to find acting work for a decade after the sitcom that made her famous ended. The Comeback follows her story as she is finally cast in a new sitcom and returns to the screen—with the caveat that as part of her contract, she must consent to being the subject of a reality documentary charting her comeback. Though The Comeback was canceled after its first season in 2005, it was revived nine years later for a second season, this time following Valerie's attempts to create her own reality TV show.

DeGeneres also joked that if a revival of The Comeback does happen, then she would want to be in it. Read what Kudrow said below:
