Syndication and streaming deals keep paying. Friends is rewatched around the world, and residuals from its enormous audience continue long after the finale.
Producing gives her a second career. She co-created The Comeback and produced Who Do You Think You Are?, earning executive producer fees and a share of those projects.

Her 2021 return for the Friends reunion special was another paid event that tapped into the show's enormous fan base.
