Courteney Cox & Lisa Kudrow Play 'Friends' Trivia

by Emily Lackey

If you think you know Friends trivia better than just about anyone, leave it to the actual stars of the show to give you a run for your money. During a recent episode of CBS’s Celebrity Name Game, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow absolutely killed it when it came to Friends trivia. So much so that they gave even the biggest Friends some serious competition in the facts department.

Really it was like that old episode of Friends revisited. You know the one: Where Ross is leading the charge on the ultimate trivia game and Rachel and Monica’s apartment is up for grabs. Except this time it was Cox who was shouting out the clues while Kudrow tried to guess the words and phrases from the beloved ‘90s sitcom the actress was acting out.

And while some of the clues were pretty easy — clues like “Where we had coffee!” — there were a few others that stumped even Kudrow. There was really only one hiccup that happened, and even that, I think, could be considered a mistake made as a result of all that adrenaline. But the reason why I’m not calling Kudrow and Cox the Friends experts just yet is because of one little mistake that was made.

When Cox called out “He was across the way,” Kudrow responded with “Naked Ugly Guy!” And as close as that may have been the answer, it’s far enough away from the actual answer to make me really call Kudrow’s knowledge into question. Naked ugly guy? Come on, Kudrow! Every real fan of the show knows that the answer is ugly naked guy, and not the other way around.

So even though these two stars definitely gave the trivia game a good try, they definitely take second place to the show’s biggest fans who definitely would have known that answer.
