Kauffman friends tv#
The comedian’s rap-which featured cameos from Paul Rudd and DJ Khaled-about it on SNL included lyrics like, “My favorite TV show is motherfucking Grace and Frankie…. On a bender! Jane & Lily are so bad a$$,” helped get the show renewed, and Pete Davidson. That if I were really good at what I did, I wouldn’t miss that.”Īmong the show’s millennial fans are Miley Cyrus, whose tweet, “I found my show! #GraceandFrankie. “When I look at mistakes, missteps, or moments I can’t believe that I let go onscreen, I completely feel like an impostor. “What the writer said that night was a dagger in the heart of my impostor syndrome,” she says. It also supported her a long-held fear: that she was an impostor. But the comparison of Crane as a prolific writer, while she’s merely the person who “knew something was wrong,” stung. “Everybody talked about everybody else, and they talked about what an amazing writer David was and how when if I said something’s wrong, something’s wrong.” Looking back, Kauffman doesn’t think this comment was made with malicious intent or had any underlying misogyny. It was during the very last writers dinner, at the tail end of the show’s final season, when they began reflecting on their run-and each other. The last Thursday of every season, she and cocreator David Crane would go out for dinner with the writers. There was one particular incident that had a profound impact on Kauffman. Now I think I was just a strong producer-and they would never refer to the male producers I was partnered with as dicks.” I have strong opinions, but I am kind, careful, and collaborative.

Or bets about who could eat what, by when, and how much,” she says. “There was a whole season of betting on what people could do. I’m not even sure I had time to take a shower.” (Kauffman says she made sure she never went two nights in a row without putting her kids to bed.) Despite the punishing schedule, she still found ways to have fun with the cast and crew. “Then I got dressed and went back to work. Giving them breakfast, packing their lunch, and sending them to school,” she says. “I remember driving home with the sun coming up and getting my kids ready.
Late nights, as in all-nighters, were par for the course. (She’s even teased to Glamour before that her obsession with detail influenced the equally tactile Monica-the group’s resident control freak whose own version of hat knitting as a stress reliever is scrubbing her purple-painted apartment from top to bottom.) Depending on how it went, they’d start rewriting the script in the afternoon-with Kauffman employing her signature character color-coding as they doctored each version. Rehearsals would begin at 10 in the morning. Though Kauffman can now clearly see Friends for what it is, warts and all, for a long time she was trapped in the show’s weeds.
