Here after reading the book. He said he was so nervous during this interview but he plays it off well. Rest In Peace
true!!! watched this coz of the book
I’m here for the same reason.
That's breathtaking!
Same, book led me here
I didnt know that but I was pickin up his anxiety while watchin this. So much so that it was makin me anxious!!
Matthew Perry’s humor shaped my humor throughout my teenage years. God bless his soul
And Letterman shaped mine.
Matthew invented sarcasm don't ya know.
He wasn’t funny his entire personality was “sarcasm” lol could he BE anymore dead
@@suzyrottencrotch5132 No. LOL. So, yes, LOL.
Same for me. Such à loss for mankind
So sad to hear of his death. He always came off as such a sweet person, and I hope he’s remembered for the humor and laughter he shared with the world.
His comedic timing was off the chart, i checked his interviews on and off, but now it feels great to watch a bit more of these. Be healthy all of you out there
Thank you, you too.
His passing feels very personal because he was in our home for so many years. Really hurts.
yeah, it feels like we lost a friend.
So heartbreaking. I hope he found peace and happiness before his passing tonight. I gasped when I heard the news tonight. Thank you for posting this interview so quickly.
It still feels surreal that he's gone. Friends was a huge part of my childhood and Matthew Perry's comedic timing playing Chandler was brilliant, which is why he was my favorite on the show. I know he did a lot to help people who struggled with addiction and that's what he wanted to be remembered for. I hope Matthew's soul is at peace now. It's a darker world without him.
I met him in 1991 and we played Foosball a few times. He was a really nice guy.
That's cool. I've been seeing many comments about people who have met him, and it seems he was always so down to earth.
@@valmacclinchy...and he was really good at Foosball... on a level I didn't know was possible. He had trick shots and stuff!
@@TheKitchenerLeslie he often helped the writers of Friends come up with the perfect retort when they were stuck. So I suspect the Foosball in the show was Matthew's idea
@@valmacclinchy When I saw that in the show, that's when I realized he was the guy I played with. It triggered the memory.
Gorgeous man with a beautiful soul. Still hard to believe he’s passed away. I loved him ever since I was a kid.
Just last week, my wife & I were remembering the blackout episode of Friends (when it originally aired, all the NBC shows that night did a coordinated blackout plot) when Chandler was trapped in the ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre (“Get Joey on the phone!!”). Whatever my wife & I were talking about, I said that it would be perfection, which led us to Chandler’s line: “Gum would be perfection,” and we laughed.
Matthew had a rough go of it, despite the wealth & fame, or maybe on account of it. It’s easy to judge and harder to sympathize & empathize sometimes, especially with celebrities. We’re all just trying to make it through life, hopefully helping each other out along the way, sharing whatever gifts we might have. Matthew’s was making us laugh. It may have not been perfection, but it was worth the time.
He was a great funny guest, very witty. God bless him
Thanks Mr Perry. You were one of the greats. Otherwise we all wouldn't feel such a loss. RIP
My favorite "Friend". He made me laugh the most. So sorry to hear the news of his passing 😓
matthew just passed away 4 hours ago and i still can't believe, you will be missed Matmann you changed lives
This news saddened me so much, this evening. What a rare talent he had. RIP, Matthew. You'll always be Chandler to me. 🙏💔🙏
I hope he rests in peace. He brought smiles to all of us.
he ded.
RIP Matthew Perry. Great humour and seemed like a genuinely lovely human being.
His funny take on The Love Boat was great and accurate. And now I’m sad that he didn’t do a movie with Sandra Bullock. They would have been terrific together.
i fear the moment when this channel uploaded an interview when the star is actually gone. even more so when the star is my favorite Friend. RIP Matthew and thanks for all the laughs
Listening to his autobiography audiobook right now. Ironically I started it last night. Very good book and very eerie! This because the book just became available from my library yesterday. I originally requested to check it out in June. All of a sudden last night of all nights I got a notification saying it had become available. I literally started listening just hours after his untimely passing. RIP Matthew Perry!
RIP MP
He had the absolute best sense of humor, Im gonna miss him so much 😔
He really was one of the funniest dudes to ever come out of a sit com. Sad loss.
Definitely, and he often helped the writers when they were stuck, too.
Funny that Matthew talks about being a tennis player because he’s been living pickle ball before he passed. When I was 12 I saw Matthew Perry at the Dairy Queen in my hometown. My friends parents worked at the Hazelden treatment center (about 20 mins away) and would leave some cash on the counter with a note saying “go get yourself and a friend a treat at 12:00 on Tuesday” because they knew a celebrity would be out for an outing from Hazelden, but they technically couldn’t say anything. My friend saw Ozzy the week before, and then saw Layne Staley later on that summer. Anyways, he seemed quite nice.
Loved his sense of humour, it was hard to see him struggle over the years pain management is extremely difficult, sad to see his death seems to be accidental at this point RIP
It was most likely suicide, given that he reactivated himself on social media after a months-long absence just to post cryptic messages that some people were already questioning days ago if they meant he was in trouble. The most ominous one being a final picture of him in his hot tub, with a sarcastic remark saying the water is supposed to make you feel good.
@@jedijones also the 911 call was reported as a heart attack, not suicide or anything else, just saying, go on what is known you are being speculative
@@ytzpilotHe has had a lot of health issue in recent years. Addictions had taken a hard toll on his body. It’s not too surprising that he might die young of natural causes - but no less sad.
God Bless Matthew Perry, may he rest in peace. I was gutted hearing the news of his inexplicable death tonight -- what an undeniable talent. Brilliant comedic timing and physical actor. He could deliver a line of dialogue -- no matter how quick or banal -- into pure gold. God, as a Gen X'er I grew up with him every Thursday night and he was always the highlight of the Friends cast from Season 1 to the final episode in 2004.
Despite some on & off behind-the-scenes struggles, he ALWAYS delivered when the camera was on. Gonna' miss that guy and his talent so much. Thanks for all the best laughs Matthew. And thank you for always being a Friend. 😢
Lord, why Matthew and not Marcelle? Or Ugly Naked Guy? Huh?
**Thanks to the Letterman tapes team for posting Dave's first interview with Matthew so quickly. You guys are always on the ball.
Both Jon Haugen (Ugly Naked Guy) and Katie (one of the monkeys that played Marcel) are alive, although Monkey (the other capuchin monkey) did die of cancer.
Thank you for this 💕💕💜💙 So sad.. It's been making me cry off n on for the last couple hours..💙 But you hit all the right nails 👏💕..Truly. So thank you again. ✌
And thank you truly also for the joke at the end 😅👌💜.. Brings back so many memories of them standing by Monica's big window..💕 watching Ugly Naked Guy 😂😆👏 So good point!! Why not him instead? 😆
Thanks for stating what I've been feeling so well. I remember watching the Friends pilot when it came out, and watched the show all the way through, over the years, to the last episode.
I've been seeing lots of behind the scenes videos, and apparently Matthew often helped the writers when they were stuck, searching for the perfect witty retort. They'd call him over and he'd come up with just the right line, on the spot.
Matthew has stated recently he wants to be remembered not just for his acting, but for helping other people with their addictions. Hank Azaria credits Matthew with helping him get clean and sober. Matthew set up a facility in for men with addiction.
I'm going to be reading his biography which came out a year ago.
Heartbreaking loss, when it seems the past year he was doing better in terms of the addiction.
RIP Matthew Perry 💔
This guy had it all. And yet…Not even a smudge of happiness. But I bet he was somewhat kind and pure in a way. RIP
Unfortunately depression doesn't discriminate. It's a horrible disease but Matthew being open about his struggles was very brave and am sure helped many who suffer the same. RIP
@@Missjunebugfreakso true.
Trauma is life -changing. You can seemingly have it all but still have so many issues going on. 😢
He was so cute. I cried in front of the TV when i saw the news about his death🥹 RIP Matthew Perry❤
"Actually, it's 'Miss' Chanandler Bong"
So talented, it’s so hard to believe he’s gone.
I remember him in beverly hills 90210 like a teen tennis star with some troubles with his father…rip 🙏
Such a dear man , so decent but yet was so undeservedly troubled. He gave my children hours of endless laughter , when they too were young and for that I thank him enormously . May he now Requiescat in Pace and his family be comforted and comforted by knowing that despite his agonies and short lived life , he had a world of people who admired and respected him.
the man struggled with more demons than most, lord knows how many times he’s gazed into the abyss. quite a bitter shame, he was just fixing himself up too.
rest easy.
RIP to Matthew Perry. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and...FRIENDS 😎
Another part of my childhood disappeared. Godspeed Ms. Chanandler Bong.
His book helped me overcome a serious addiction. Like him, I come back to it sometimes. I'm fighting a similar battle within myself. I also work in entertainment, I'm also alone, I'm also funny and I'm also addicted. I think he saves my life. I've ridden his book and seen how similiar we are. I wanna fight with disease. I rlly miss him. I miss him so much
I hope it doesn't take you 16 rehab trips to beat your "addiction".
I hope it all works out for you buddy. Stay strong, and always remember - even one foot forward is progress.
thaaank youu :)@@mohiabro
Matthew could have been a stand up comedian..or a writer for that matter (full time I mean) I always loved him on Friends. I know he wanted to be remembered for helping people but Friends made people laugh and has stood the test of time. That also helps people to feel that humour inside.
No wonder people freak out whenever Letterman's UA-cam channel features someone.. It's almost always when someone has died that he previously interviewed.
RIP Matthew.
I expect to be downvoted on this, and with all due respect to the Letterman channel, but it's kind of disturbing how often they rush to put up clips of someone who just died. I do get that you want clicks and it spreads awareness of the channel, but the speed of video posts after various celeb deaths has a bit of a vulture vibe to it.
I found out about Pee Wee Hermans death via the Letterman channel
@@HiveofLive Or, you could look at it as them, uncynically, just wanting to pay tribute. That's how I've always seen it.
Here while reading the book! Funny how reading his memoir feel like me takking directly to him. everything he has written is just make me think about how he talks, and the way he talks
This is so fantastically Matthew Perry ❤
Loved the episode where Chandler's boss, played by the hilarious Sam McMurray, slaps all of his male underlings on the rear as some sort of encouraging send off to do a good job. Chandler isn't comfortable with this and gets up the courage to tell him. When his boss stops slapping him, Chandler misses it and asks his boss to start doing again. 😂😂😂 Perry was exceptional in that episode, as he was in all of them. It's so sad to think he is no longer with us. 😢
Rip dear matthew. Great interview you can tell dave really enjoyed him too ❤
I'm so deeply sorry 😔
Sincere condolences to Matthew family and to his best friends 💔❤
After reading chapter 4 of his book when he talks about this interview, watching it hits different. RIP Matty❤
Same here R.I.P. Mattie
Thank you for this video. I was so happy to see this young man enjoying himself. I am so sad right now.
This is how Matthew's drug addiction began. In his book he says he found out that his parents gave him barbiturates prescribed by a doctor to put him to sleep. As a baby. Between the ages of thirty and sixty days, which is an important time in a baby’s development, especially when it comes to sleeping. He had colic, and this was something that some doctors prescribed at that time, unfortunately. Important to note that barbiturates are a depressant drug class that generates addiction.
Then, Perry became addicted to Vicodin after a jet-ski accident in 1997. Completely predictable, given his early introduction. And it went from there.
Poor guy never had a chance.
You don't need to have been exposed to something as a baby to be susceptible to addiction. If he had no memory of it, and didn't become addicted to something until he was an adult decades later, then it likely played no factor in his addiction.
@@jedijonesThe sad and creepy part is that we'll never really know if it played a role in his addiction difficulties or not. Ugh!! 😢
@@mch4735 So was Drew Barrymore. Nothing has to happen to you as a baby for that to happen.
Never had a chance? Heroin addicts like Miles Davis kicked it. What do you mean no chance?
I completely agree. Poor guy! RIP Matt man. 🌹
He will be profoundly missed. He left a great legacy
R.I.P. Matthew Perry!
Perry was so intelligent and charming. He’s left a lifelong legacy of which he can be proud 🥹 ❤
Yeah he was hilarious and he made us laugh and smile but he also seemed like a very sweet person. RIP Matthew ❤
Such an underrated performance in “The Whole Nine Yards”. RIP
I also loved him in the movie Fools Rush In.
exactly. the whole nine yards and the whole ten yards are 2 of my favourite movies ever
The fact that Matthew pointed out that basically all Love Boat episodes have the same plotline.
Never liked the show. Yes very predictablevendings. I may look at it now and then now for the nostalgic star sightings.
R.I.P. Matthew
Im starting to think he was never acting as chandler but just playing himself.
This is the way to remember Matthew. Peace out, brother ...
This was not on my 2023 card. I identified so much with him. RIP. 😥
Very good interview. Very sad news and this is a great way to remember how sharp and charming he was.
Thank you for all the laughs, Mr. Perry, Mr. Bing, RIP ❤
What a likable guy. Rip.
What a sweet man one of my first crushes I am devastated to hear he passed ❤
The love boat joke reminds me of "I think this is the episode of Three's Company where there's some kind of misunderstanding" -Chandler Bing
So shocked and sad to hear of his death. Rest In Heaven, Matthew. Hopefully your soul is now at peace. 🙏🏻
That Love Boat-joke was good.
Wow such a beautiful smile he has
Like many others, I'm sure, I know him best from Friends. I was in my teens when the show was on and Chandler was the only character I was never bored with.
While his movies never really grabbed me, I wish he had more chance at dramatic roles in TV. I was really disappointed when they cancelled Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip after only one season. I thought he was great in that.
Sad to see him gone so young. RIP
RIP Mathew ❤️ 🙏
You will be missed but never will be forgotten 💔
RIP to a gifted performer 😢😢
So sorry to hear this tonight 😢
Rest In Power Matthew Perry.
The witty repartee between David and Matthew!
No more pain, friend.
what an awesome human being full of warmth hearts...r.i.p matthew perry...tooooo soon...gone...suddenly...😭😂😥💔💔💔🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🕊💫
Every time I see a new Letterman video I just know another celebrity has kicked the bucket.
Matthew was the funniest character in Friends. Matthew Perry RIP.
Who else is here, watching old interviews and anything Matthew Perry related because of his recent death.
What a lovely lovely guy he was
RIP Matty
That autograph would be worth a fortune about now!
we lost an incredible human R.I.P. Matt
Wonder if Matthew ever tried his act as a comedian. Always knew he was funny, but not this funny. VERY smooth delivery and OBVIOUSLY VERY talented. He will be sadly missed by many 😢
Matthew was such a handsome fella. Who knew back then what he was going through. Rip Matthew” chandler”
Very sad news about Matthew but nice to see this clip from a time when 'Friends' hit their stride, seems like just yesterday.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Even though this show is what, 30 years old, somehow it still feels like it just came out not that long ago.
He was a handsome funny young man
what a likeable guy. RIP
Pam was a good sport; and Matthew was so nice to her.
I like the concept of an audience member cohosting. That should have been a regular feature!
He still has the Growing Pains guest actor look here
Could he BE more perfect? God, I miss him so much. I hope to see him up there some day and thank him for all the laughs and help to so many people in the world. R.I.P. Matty.
That last joke of his movie almost killed me 😂😂😂
Such great wit
RIP Matthew, your struggle is over. Your in the good place now, thanks for the laughs.
Well, you got one your right.
You realize of course we are just goofing around. Or do you? Its kinda become like a thing at this point.
*You're in the
Tennis is hard. Impressive. RIP 🙏
Safe home, Bing.
Devastating news. RIP.
I’m listening to Matthew Perry’s audio of his memoir called Friends, lovers & the big terrible thing. it brought me here. It’s sad to hear his life story. It’s sad that he passed away so soon.
Same here.
It's a great book
Reading his memoir and stopped to watch the interview as he describes it there…
me too!
Yes...just began it a couple of days ago...both in this interview and his memoir include the bit about tennis in Canada/hockey in Burbank❤💔
Sorry, this time it's a real RIP. 😢
Damn... Your post is how I just now found out 😞.
Like many people, I thought something was off about him after the Friends reunion, but I had hoped he was getting his life together. So tragic and so sad to lose someone who gave us countless laughs.
@@BassByTheBay Sorry sbout that. Whoever is posting these for Letterman has been extremely quick to post when someone famous passes so when I see any posting nowadays my first instinct has been dread. So I've tried to be equally quick in clarifying whether the celebrity in the clip is still with us. Unfortunately I had expected this one to just be another memorable clip instead of an "In Memoriam" clip. 😢
Been crying since the news broke 😔He’ll be remembered for the awareness he brought and the stigmas he dispelled.
After the elite forced on us that “ thing” in 2020, the increase in suddden D and other cases are monstruous. If that is affecting children and teenagers, imagine a person with health problems. Mainstream media will not tell you that, these cowa…follow an agenda, be aware, this is not a joke and our families are in danger too. Only real doctors are talking about this fact away from this propaganda machine.
Huh?
I never knew Matthew was that funny in real life his actually funnier then Dave 😂
Agree. Could have had his own talk show
They posted this clip fast.
You can actually see the facade that Matthew puts on. He is so nervous. Underneath, man desperate to be accepted, with a secret worsening alcohol addiction.
For sure.
I hope Pam’s okay.
Played Rodger on 90210 as a tennis star
