lisa kudrow and conan o'brien
Kudrow credits O'Brien as a crucial motivator in jump starting her acting career, as she was thinking about giving up o her acting/comedic career. Though the two comedians hit it off initially, it didn't take long for the pair to realize that their chemistry was less than romantic. "He was really smart, really funny, and he thought I was funny," Kudrow said. The two dated briefly, "but found we were better as friends," she said. The pair began dating in 1988 and separated in 1993.
