Not only is she funny, clever, quirky, she's a strong and smart woman who has and will contribute a lot. I'm really glad she got fired from Fraiser. No one else could have been Phoebe, that part was waiting for her to arrive. And boy, did she.

how lucky are they to have seen Lisa Kudrow in person

It's not sad, and Phoebes not dumb at all, she's sweet and hilarious, and I think its wonderful that someone with so much intelligence as Lisa Kudrow also has so much talent, and stepped out of her comfort zone to be part of something as amazing as friends. (:

I would like to say something about Lisa and her Father. Her was a doctor and specialized in what is called "cluster headaches", which are horrible. I know this because my brother has them and he went to Lisa's father and he helped him where no other doctor ever did. And know this Lisa's Father also had these headaches. I thank you Lisa and your father for the help given my brother.

"Let me reassured you, its not supposed to be easy but it doesnt have to be tortured.  You are supposed to have moments of uncertainty about which path to take, because the tweeenies are full of crossroads!"

What a great and real phrase!

"thank god I got fired" lol. Truly inspirational listening to her. Loved it

I've seen this clip close to 10 times, and it never ceases to inspire me. Whenever I feel school is too much or I've vhosen the wrong path, I watch Lisa and my faith is restored.

ive been depressed for a little while, im prob gonna be depressed after i watch this. but for the 26:32 minutes this was on i was on top of the world. i love lisa kudrow

Lisa kept it simple so that kids could listen, not miss anything and think about their own lives at the same time. I bet that's what she intended. If I'm wrong I'll bet Lisa would hesitate for exactly the right amount of time and reply "That's right" with her special smile. Love her.

god i admire her so much

She's not jst funny she's not just an outstanding actress but an amazing person who has her own story to tell..and it's so bloody inspiring to get to know the story and the struggle she had to go through it's..damn inspiring and it needs courage to stick to ur belief..always ...she's really great..!love her ♥️♥️♥️

i was expecting to hear "hi, i'm regina phalange" haha

This was my commencement! Hooray Vassar 2010!

This speech really helped me get over some hard times. Thank you Lisa!

weak crowd...i would have been giving her standing ovation nonstop!

Phoebe buffay was "dumb" in certain ways, but in many episodes she had a solution where the other characters didn't see it. her mind emphasised different things to be intelligent about. I would be honoured to be counted among her friends. Also, many people play "dumb". either to be funny, or to spring intelligence onto people where it's least expected. it's a good way of sorted people into the category of respect-for-intelligence vs respect-for-everyone.

Lisa has more talent than any of the others on Friend's. I love the one where she beat the heck out of a smoke alarm. I laughed myself silly.

Now that's a speech!  Funny and charming

The way she talks. So Phoebe. Aw, I miss Friends. :(

Lisa Kudrow's performance in The Friends is a great fun. She also is a very beautiful woman. Love her
