Back in 1990, Lorne Michaels flew out to L.A. to see Lisa Kudrow and Julia Sweeney live at the Groundlings. Kudrow didn’t like competing against a fellow Groundling. She said she was a little “off” that night and she wasn’t ready for that kind of attention.

She got cast on Friends a little while later, and the rest is history.
