Lindsay Lohan is looking for work.
According to Lisa Kudrow, the 31-year-old actress pitched herself to take part her sitcom The Comeback…. thinking it was a reality show.
The Friends star told Late Late host James Corden on Wednesday night about the embarrassing Twitter mix up.
‘I’ll do it’: Lindsay Lohan pitched herself to take part in Lisa Kudrow’s sitcom The Comeback thinking it was a reality show
Comedian Billy Eichner had tweeted his interest in seeing a third season of The Comeback, a show in which Kudrow plays a sitcom actress who tries to return to the industry after ten years out of the limelight.
‘Who can I pay to make another season of The Comeback where Valerie Cherish gets “political” and “woke?” Please. I’m begging you. I need it,’ Eichner tweeted.
But perplexingly Lohan replied — in a since deleted tweet — ‘I’ll do it.’
‘I thought that was interesting,’ Kudrow said on Thursday. ‘Because, no. 1 It’s my show.’

Irony: In the show Kudrow plays a sitcom actress who tries to return to the industry after ten years out of the limelight.
‘But also… someone in our office said that someone from her representative called and pitched her, and he was pretty sure they thought it was a reality show,’ she recalled, bewildered. ‘And I thought, “How is that possible?”‘
She continued to try and work it out: ‘If they think it’s a reality show, why am I wearing a red wig and calling myself Valerie Cherish? And why would I be on a reality show called The Comeback?
‘I mean, that’s the whole humiliating joke… Why would I do that?’ Kudrow wondered.
Fellow guest Martin Short, however, had a viable answer.
‘There’s a chance she doesn’t have the top people,’ he offered.
Ouch: The embarrassing mix-up all stemmed from Eichner’s tweet
