Dave was our generations Carson. You made it there it opened a lot of doors.

❤

I'm just sitting here @ almost midnight watching "friend's"& Matthew of course said a funny line & I laughed out loud! Then my mind remembered what my ❤ has not forgotten. I thought "is Matthew really gone? How can it possibly be true?" Then I said to myself "I really love him. He was my "friend". And he always will be & dang he is so sexy! I'm not making light of this horrible truth that we have been 💔 heartbroken over this huge loss we have all suffered. I just miss my friend, that I never met, but I feel so close to. Thank you for making me & everyone around the 🌎 world laugh & also for using your "big, terrible thing" ,(did I mess that up?),to help others suffering for so many years to come. Proud of you.🙏💓😥😚 Staci

I've never watched a single episode, but his death seems surreal because he was so young and so famous. He seemed like a super nice guy too.

Yeah, I’m right there with you. Such a shame.

He wasn’t completely open with his struggle. He was addicted to cocaine while filming friends. He did finally admit it when he was promoting his book. I watched several interviews with him and he had mental health issues that people pretended didn’t exist. He claimed to have relapsed 60-70 times. I’m sure it was more than that and means that he was rarely sober. It’s too bad that he didn’t get the help he needed.

@@kayk2956I don’t think anyone is ever completely open with others about their struggles, friends and family rarely know how best to support those they love, especially when it comes to addiction and mental health struggles. It’s just so complex, all of it. If only a hug or the right words would make it all better……… 🪄 I’m so sad for him, his friends and his family, it’s tragic really.

matthew perry kind of reminds me a bit of robin williams in his way of being open aboute telling personal things , truly also a loss in his proffession .

You mean because he was as annoying as Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell put together?

Well said!!

His death hit me harder than I expected. It’s been several days & it dominates my mind. My sister & I grew up watching Friends. He will always be special to us. This one hurts because Matthew was a part of my youth.

❤

My heart is just broken. I don't even know what else to say anymore. 😭💔

@@MandySam13 I agree with you. I can't believe this loss. My mum who doesn't know him and doesn't know Friends is surprised that I feel so sad about Matthew P's passing. It is nearly 2 weeks and I still cry sometimes for this loss. There were so many celebrities in the recent years who passed away , all young (namely: Whitney H; Michael J, George Michael, Amy Winehouse, Prince;Robin Williams , Chris Cornell and so many others ) they were all brilliant in their own right and it is sad to lose them so young but with Matthew Perry it is different. It is a great loss. It is a hole in the heart.

Couldn't have said it any better sweetie. I cried for 3 hrs last night, listening to the song they played at his funeral. Perfect song for the great man that didn't know how much he was & always will be loved. See you in heaven.🌈🌟🙏

Him and Matt LeBlanc are my favorites..love their bromance 😂❤

And you're so right, friends will never be the same 😢

But its nice that we have Friends.

❤

My exact thought! "Friends" used to bring me joy and laughter, but after Matthew, there will always be sorrow deep in my heart along with the joy on the surface. "Watching Friends truely will NEVER be the same again!"😔😔🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢😢😢😢

He looked so great! I still can’t believe he’s gone 😢❤🇨🇦 5:14

dang , he looked SO GOOD and fresh in this clip with david letterman , truly a HUGE loss for the world when matthew perry passed , may he rest in peace .

I think from 2018 when he started suffering from gastrointestinal perforation as a result of extreme opiate usage , things went down hill.

@@Persainlady I would agree with you 100% on that point. Valid.

Users are losers RIP @@Persainlady

I heard the Friends TUNE in the Car today... Got Weepy...😊

_'too..'_

@@user-ys1jq6kr8z My bad

Then watch *Living Single,* the far superior show it ripped off instead.

That’s because it’s such a terrible song with a nihilistic message that promotes codependency. It’s also a ripoff of “Closer to Free.”

_'..sorely missed'_ ..you betcha, by the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries .. both could have nearly single-handedly been kept afloat by this clown's monstrous consumption of their products

He WAS Chandler Bing! Wasn't he?

He was one seriously messed up dude.

@user, That's for sure. I'm furious that he did that to himself. Didn't he ever stop and think Elvis? There was a very public example right there. How could he have been so stupid? I know many addicts, practicing and recovering ones. No one went to those extremes and they had far bigger reasons to do so than him. I actually went to AA conferences with friends back in the late 70's and early 80's and those stories were inspirational and funny as hell. His is totally depressing and whiny with the most stupid excuses. I don't think he ever got sober or got the program. I never watched Friends or was a fan of Matthew Perry. I understand how people feel because I think what if it had been Frasier. I thank God it wasn't Kelsey Grammer. I'm sorry for everyone's loss and I hope Matthew is finally at peace. It's so sad and a shame that he just threw his life away needlessly.

@@sammyandoliver7522please stop talking you have no idea what are you talking about, you sound like you never knew anyone who struggled with addiction or mental health problems, and you sound disrespectful to someone who helped millions of people by making them laugh or by talking about addiction and mental heath problems in his memoir, im addicted to opiates and many bad things happened to me bcuz of my drug use but nothing made me stop.. till i read his memoir and i can't explain how much it helped me understand addiction and opened my eyes on my mental health more.. im forever grateful for this man bcuz he literally changed my life, i love you Matthew Perry and it's a shame i ill never get the chance to tell you how much you helped me. and that makes me so sad.. rest easy Mattman

Meanwhile, Ricky Schroder has lived to repent for allowing him to tarnish an episode of *Silver Spoons.* He is their most embarrassing guest star and I include that Puerto Rican boy band and that athlete who made a movie with the Village People in that statement.

I hope so too. Such a lovely man.

I’m guessing that’s why they say there’s no such thing as a “recovered” alcoholic or addict? Because addiction is something people never stop struggling with?

Hope so too

Iim currently reading his book & boy did he ever struggle & the struggle is real, being in recovery myself. If found the so many creative & intelligent have this struggle. Loved him, wish he was still with us on this earth at least we can enjoy his entertainment for always. ❤

@@kathiwhite-rasanen2 As one who's been there with pharmaceuticals mixed with hard liqour, obviously not to the 55 Vicodin a day thing, but I was putting away my share of whatever I could get my hands on, that book is extremely difficult to read in places. I've never really hidden that I'm in recovery, and people come to me for "where do I start to end this hell I'm living" kinds of questions, I truly admired Matt Perry for doing kind of what a lot of us do, but on such a massive, arguably global, scale. He truly wanted as many people as possible to know what happened and how it can be ended, even if it takes 50 tries (it took me 4), it can be done. Not only did we lose a great talent, but an extraordinary man who just wanted to be remembered for helping people...not some sitcom. I think if he had one wish, whether one has a problem or not, it would be for everyone to read his book. Because even those who don't have the same problems almost certainly know someone who does, and understanding by those without those problems is also invaluable to those of us who've lived it, as you know.

He died of an overdose..

@@Workoutsmydude He died of drowning as far as we know now. My point being, even if he slipped and relapsed leading to the drowning, which happens many times for those who suffer from the disease of addiction, he was clean and sober for a long time just prior. That is commendable because his disease took him through so much it's amazing he hadn't died sooner. Now unless you're the LA Coroner of another distinguished individual who has tested his body for chemicals, I suggest you shut up. It's undetermined still. Could have been a heart attack while in a tub for all we know. How disrespectful and rude your comment is.

@@JonathanHudgins just stating my opinion its america

@@Workoutsmydude with due respect to your opinion, but the opinion shouldn't based on assumption. Unless you are "The Party".

​@@JonathanHudgins Very good point, and very well said . None of us know the facts that lead to him drowning.

They’ll keep them coming, Letterman (the youtube channel) always capitalizes on a death.

​​@@coltc5360 The David Letterman Show is Respectfully 🌌 Memorializing 🌠 folks as a Tribute to their life. 🕯. Love is the answer, to E v e r y t h i n g. ❤.

​@@coltc5360Do you always look for opportunities to s**t on expressions of gratitude?

​@@coltc5360There is quite a difference between capitalizing and just remembering someone with a great segment of someone being on the show.

@@JayDeeIsMyName @mykingdomforak9405 hmm, did you fellas get 2 ads before this video like I did, and one at the end for good measure? Does the truth always make you uncomfortable? I don’t need monetization to say I’m sorry for your loss to the Perry family.

Glad it wasn’t just me who noticed that!

'.. _too_ soon..'

I'm sorry that Matty had such a difficult life. I am impressed that it was so important that he always performed, regardless of how he felt. He was a classy and talented man! You truly will be missed, Mr. Perry. Rest in peace, Mr. Perry. You deserve it. Godspeed ❤❤❤

Wow.... thank you for sharing this. It's a sad yet incredible companion piece to this video. I keep hearing more and more ppl talk about how great his book was... and not just bc he recently died. I think I'm going to buy it. Thank you for sharing. As a side note: it seems he never got off Suboxone (Subutex is pretty much the same thing without the naloxone... seen plenty ppl switch back and forth). I think the coroner determined the Buprenorphine was a factor in his death. However, in my opinion, it was really the Ketamine that pushed him over the edge. In any case, thank you for posting this.

Morgan Fairchild is my girlfriend.

"Go to China! Eat Chinese food!"

😂

Of course there they just call it food

Or Jersey Shore. That's what 1st came to my mind.

You've got to be kidding. Which ''Matthew Perry'' are you referring to? Have you *seen* _this_ dude ? ..to say nothing of the way that he conducted his life .. geez

@user, I know. He made the perfect Oscar. Both were slobs. In his younger Chandler Bing days he would have been Felix but not now with how he looked and what he turned into. The Odd Couple was a good show. The original was the Best.

No I don’t think he was peeved, honestly I think Matthew couldn’t even have told you where he got that joke from. It was season 1 ep 24 btw when Ross is going to China, just saw it then remembered this interview

Scrolled too far to find this comment hahaha I laughed good seeing him recite a Chandler joke even if it was unintentional. I don’t think he was bothered by Letterman saying it was Seinfeld territory as the joke could come across as Jerry-esque. I’m sure overall he was just happy to make Letterman and the audience laugh

*would HAVE

Get back to marking exams, Anne.

Mat doesn’t get dave’s side insult about being in shape. Like you said, sad.

WhAt a huge loss , adored Matthew Perry only reason I saw friends soooo talented handsome and naturally funny dearest prince sleep well , you are so missed now, and always. RIP🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
