I love Lisa Kudrow. She has better than survived “Friends” by creating and starring in the pioneering TV comedies “Web Therapy” and “The Comeback.” The former began as a Web series before going to Showtime, the latter, a fake reality show, failed on HBO and became a cult legend. She seems like an interesting person.
Having seen her on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” last week, I still know nothing about her, beyond the little I already knew — that she’s funny-spacey, that she delivers lines with uniquely halting timing, that she wants us to watch “Web Therapy.” Kudrow delivered a loosely scripted performance on Leno, with predetermined shtick about her in-laws, and my curiosity about her imagination and her career journey remains unsatisfied.

Two more good interview podcasts to consider are Alec Baldwin's Here's the Thing and Christopher Lydon's Radio Open Source.
