As if one mega-popular sitcom wasn’t enough for comedian Jerry Seinfeld, it appears he’d like some credit for Friends’ success as well. Speaking with The Daily Beast, Friends actress Lisa Kudrow recounted a years-old interaction with Seinfeld, during which he teased that Seinfeld had a hand in Friends’ bombshell performance. “I said, ‘Hi,’ and he said, ‘You’re welcome,'” Kudrow told The Daily Beast. Confused, Kudrow then replied, “Why, thank you … what?” Seinfeld responded: “You’re on after us in the summer, and you’re welcome.” Well, the guy had a point, Kudrow conceded. “That’s exactly right. Thank you,” she told Seinfeld, per her interview with The Daily Beast. “Not to take anything away from the writing on Friends, or the cast, or how good Friends really was, but the first season our ratings were just fine. .. [I]t was in the summer when we were in reruns after Seinfeld, where Seinfeld was our lead-in, where we exploded,” she noted.
