During the making of Friends, Warner Bros. threatened to fire two cast members after they demanded a salary increase to $1 million per episode. However, the cast called their bluff and the show continued with all six members. Meanwhile, Lisa Kudrow almost quit during season 3 due to confidence issues, but Matt LeBlanc's pep talk helped her regain her confidence, and she went on to win an Emmy for the following season. Jennifer Aniston also struggled emotionally when Friends ended, as it was a difficult time in her personal life.
