If you listen to enough podcasts, you start to see what a small world the entertainment industry can be. Lisa Kudrow offers one such example. To wit: I learned from Conan O’Brien’s podcast that Lisa Kudrow broke into the business thanks to her brother’s best friend, former SNL star Jon Lovitz, who helped Kudrow get into the Groundlings. In the Groundlings, Kudrow met and briefly dated Conan O’Brien, and in fact helped him land Late Night back in 1993, a detail I learned from Dax Shepard’s podcast. Meanwhile, I learned from Rob Lowe’s podcast that Lovitz’s friendship with Kudrow also made him friends with Courteney Cox, which led to a great story about Brad Pitt botching a housesitting gig and letting go of a dog that killed Lovitz’s cat.
