Lisa Kudrow had fans in stitches after her appearance in 2020 political mockumentary resurfaced on social media in recent days.
The 62-year-old Friends star went viral after a clip in which she parodies a right-wing ‘non-official spokesperson’ for President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement started making the rounds again on social media.
The clip was from the Netflix special Death To 2020, which was produced by Black Mirror creator Charlie Booker — who also wrote the film — and his regular collaborator Annabel Jones.
On X (formerly Twitter), commenters — many of whom appeared to have liberal politics — were simultaneously delighted and infuriated by what they saw as similarities between Kudrow’s over-the-top defenses of the first Trump administration’s scandals and the real flak that Trump’s current White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, deflects on a daily basis.
They praised her ‘perfect impersonation’ of an influential MAGA figure in the replies, with many users finding major parallels between her and real-life right-wing figures over their allegedly slippery grasp of the truth.
Kudrow’s spokeswoman, the fictional Jeanetta Grace Susan, was seen in a clip seemingly meant to take place in Washington, DC, as she defended Trump against his multiple impeachments.

‘The whole impeachment thing was baseless, OK,’ Kudrow says in character.
‘So the Democrats claim that Trump pressured Ukraine into digging up dirt on the Biden family and their only real “evidence” of that is the transcript of him doing it,’ she adds on a particularly ridiculous note as documents referencing Trump’s attempts to get Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to investigate Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 election.
Kudrow digs in shamelessly when the unseen British interviewer asked her to say more about the ‘transcript’ she had mentioned.
‘What transcript?’ she replies.
When the interviewer reminders her that she just mentioned a transcript, she shoots back, ‘Check your tape. I said no such thing.’
Then Kudrow scoffs as the interviewer began reading back what she had just said about Ukraine, before doubling down and interjecting, ‘There’s no such place as Ukraine.’
‘Yes, there is,’ he replies in shock, but the spokeswoman shoots back, ‘I choose to believe there is not.’
Several viewers in the replies saw in Kudrow a shocking resemblance to Leavitt, both physically and in her defensive tone, though Leavitt wasn’t working as the White House Press Secretary until the second Trump administration, years after the Netflix special was released.

Some commenters thought that Kudrow not only mimicked the manner in which flacks like Leavitt speak, but also nailed her appearance years before she became a news fixture

One viewer praised the clip as ‘freaking awesome’ and said that Kudrow’s performance as a fake PR specialist was ‘probably the best thing I’ve seen since Tina Fey did Sarah Palin’ on Saturday Night Live

Other posters praised the clip as ‘brilliant,’ ‘on point’ and ‘perfect’

One user complained that Americans were forced to ‘literally listen to this everyday’ before launching into a complaint about the alleged fear of facts from the MAGA crowd

Another viewers said they had ‘given up’ on trying to reason with Trump’s most vocal fans, which they seemed to think the clip effectively illustrated
‘This is GREAT! Kudrow perfectly captured the Karoline Leavitt person — right down to the long bond hair and vapid smile,’ wrote one user who felt there was a strong similarity.

‘MAGA believe and stake their lives on memes, but call any reporting or data into question and often see document records as a compelling reason to believe the opposite of what they indicate,’ they added.

‘I don’t know what is up in their heads, but it is not brains or the gift of reason,’ they seethed. ‘I am beginning to believe that they are not just stupid and ignorant, but they just do not take in any information that is going to challenge their current mindset.’
