Lisa Kudrow has been spilling some incredible tea about her Friends<\/em> days this week.<\/p>\n

Some of it is nauseating, like Kudrow\u2019s claim that some of the show\u2019s writers sexually fantasized about Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But some of the remarks Lisa has made during her current press tour have fans applauding the beloved actress for securing the bag.<\/p>\n

Yes, more than two decades after Friends<\/em> signed off, the paychecks are still rolling in. And, according to Kudrow, they are nothing short of staggering.<\/p>\n

In a new interview the Times of London<\/a><\/em>, Kudrow revealed that she and the surviving five members of the iconic sitcom\u2019s cast still earn about $20 million a year<\/em> in residuals from the show\u2019s syndication and streaming success.<\/p>\n

Yes, you read that correctly: $20 million per year.<\/p>\n

Kudrow, who played the eccentric masseuse and folk singer Phoebe Buffay, even joked about the jaw-dropping number when asked why the checks remain so large.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Phoebe Buffay was so great?\u201d she replied when asked why still earns so much from the character.<\/p>\n
