Seth Meyers asked the actress about her son’s relationship with Friends prior to adulthood, to which she replied,

“He was 5 when we were finished. He did start watching when his friends at school were watching, and you [have] to know what everyone’s watching. So he watched it, and he was impressed.”

Her son told her that the show was “actually really funny“, particularly the guys (Ross, Chandler, and Joey), and even assured her that she was funny in the show.
