From almost the very first episode, the Hollywood sitcom Friends was destined to be a hit. Its brilliance came from its simplicity. Each episode was beautifully crafted and lovingly performed by a charming cast. For ten seasons the friends on the show made us laugh so much we felt like they were our friends. It’s the reason why, in the two weeks since actor Matthew Perry died, so many tears have been shed around the world.
One person who knew Matthew better than most is award-winning television director James Burrows. He worked on the very first episodes of Friends, forging a fatherly bond with the entire cast. In an emotional interview with Karl Stefanovic, James remembers the best of times with his great friend Matthew.

I grew up in the same city as Mathew in Ottawa, Canada. Mathew used to play competitive tennis with my best friends brother in the 80’s, his name would often be in the sports page of our local newspaper, the Ottawa Citizen. I was 21 when I moved across the country from Ottawa to Vancouver in 1994, the year friends started. That show saved me in so many ways, living alone in a new city was lonely, but having the show Friends every week brought me so much joy and comfort, it was like a warm hug, especially having Mathew, a familiar face , there, on my screen, every Thursday was such a gift. Xo
“There’s a record of him. He will live forever on the screen” - this one made me cry
I feel like Matthew’s real work and purpose had just begun. Helping people with addiction. He seemed to take such pride in that work. My heart and prayers go out to his entire family and friends. RIP Matthew. I’m sure you have them all in stitches laughing up there 🙏❤️
Yes🥲😢😢❤❤❤
Well said
Agreed. And it is deeply touching that a foundation for addiction was put in his name, his legacy will continue on. I think he would have loved that
Matthew is an angel now, sitting beside the same people he tried to help on earth, telling them, "you can do this. You can get better. I will help you." ❤
The only worthy comment here.
The directors eyes! You can see the pain just radiating. It looks like he hasn’t slept well in weeks. We’ll always have Friends ❤
Ive been listening to his book on Audible. It breaks my heart to hear his voice now but man is his book helping me fight thru this moment that im struggling with my sobriety. Thank-you matthew!!
Sending you support and encouragement!
Best wishes to you, dear one. 💜
I'd thought about doing Audible but I decided I'd rather have the actual book so I can hang on to it as I'm reading it. I'm so glad that Matthew Perry is still able to help you and others, even after his passing. God bless you and NEVER give up the fight.
Love Always Wins
❤
@@kathi7502 thank you. It definitely helped me fight off the urge to break my sobriety. I've managed to stay sober. Hearing his voice read the words is just something I felt I needed. I'm like you though, I normally prefer the book
Stay strong just remember it is one day at a time and it is so worth that day at a time ❤
One can easily see how heartbroken Jim Burrows is.....can only imagine what the other 5 are going through.
I've never been this sad over a celebrity..but this one hit very hard 😪
This one hit me hard.
Nunca pensei sentir assim por alguém que não conheci pessoalmente. Choro todos os dias olhando a série. Lendo seu livro, assistindo vídeos dele no TH-cam. Não sei porque. Sinto pena por ele ter sofrido e passar por tudo isso com garra e perseverança. I love you matthew. Espero onde estiveres saibas o quanto as pessoas sofrem por ti e te amam ❤😢
Same, sounds very silly because I only ever watched him through a tv screen, but I’m still struggling to accept that he’s gone..it really is like we’ve all lost a family member. I feel like I’m just expecting him to come back with a ‘gotcha!! Wah-pah!!!’…Never has a celebrity death hit me as hard as this one 💔
I agree, wholeheartedly 💕
I could be wrong when I say this so I apologize if I am but I feel like it's because friends was more than just a TV show for us. It's hard to explain but friends is so special. More than any sitcom could make us feel. The characters are so special. Friends is comfort. Friends is home.
I just listened to the audiobook Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. Such a huge loss of an amazingly beautiful person.
Once i started listening to it I couldn’t stop
I thought it was terrible. RIP Mathew Perry
RIP Matthew, Friends would never be the same without Chandler's wit and humor. Thanks for defining the timeless nostalgia of our lives Mr Perry, rest in peace and rest in power😢❤!!
This so sad 😭 I love Matthew Perry I cried so bad since his passing I pray for him ❤I hope he knew he was loved by so many people ❤
Me too ❤❤when Joey runs in and hugs him I cry ,every time i see it ❤❤❤yes,I really hope he knew❤❤
Chandler was my favorite character on Friends. After he passed and I looked it up, I learned he wanted to be known for more than just Chandler Bing. He wanted to be known as a good friend who do would do anything to help their friend, even go through H3ll and back… We lost a good man. RIP.
Watching "Friends" won't be the same again. 💔
I think friends popularity was that you felt they were your friends no matter what kind of day you had.Also,it was a lifestyle many people wanted.Hanging out with besties,going through drama and staying loyal. Mathew was my favourite and i loved the scene where he stepped out of the shower with a towel around his head after listening to a wrong tape encouraging you to be a better more empowered woman. Miss him.
😂
I find comfort in thinking that Matthew was put on this Earth as much as everyone of us was for a purpose and he finally did it. HE made generations laugh and suffered alone, then he tried to help others, told his story and spoke up. Then he left. I know he is in peace. I love you Matty.
Yes😢Love you Matti❤️❤️❤️
well said ❤
Never got into the show but appreciate Jim and Matthews authenticity and caring. Condolences
My heartfelt condolences & prayers to his Mom, Suzanne & stepdad Keith Morrison (yes! That Keith Morrison) Dad, family, friends & all who loved, admired & adored Matthew Perry 🙏🏼❤️
I will miss Matthew Perry immensely …… after I watched the first episode I was hooked!! Lots of laughs and tears but I loved that show.
How long did you two know each other?
If we feel devastated, imagine how the people who worked with him 12-16 hours a day for ten years feel? Matthew's heart gave out before his love for his fellow man ever could. He is in a better place but his love and legacy will live on for generations...like a never-ending blessing.
I can't even imagine how grief stricken the remaining five Friends must feel. It'll be a very long time before they can fully process their feelings of loss. My heart goes out to everyone who worked with MP on the show. As well as his family, friends and cast members that worked with him in his films. May you find peace during this difficult time.😔🙏🌹
We all miss him. Watch Friends again and again 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽😱❣️
I'm gonna watch Friends again for the nth time when I'm ready... 😔💐
It feels like losing a family member. Absolutely heartbreaking
I was so deviated I cried for a while night and day. My mom said I was being dramatic and stupid but I'm soft and it's OKAY to cry over a person I have watched on TV
🕯❤Matthew Langford Perry💫
Watching this made me cry...again.
Love ❤ u Matthew/Chandler. Nice piece of journalism, VERY respectful for to Matty'memory.❤ ❤❤❤
Rest In Everlasting Peace Matthew Perry never forgotten 💙🙏💙🇺🇸 forever remembered #BeThere4You
Cheers to Matthew Perry, Canada's Friend.
May His soul rest in Peace. Sending his family and friends love from Ghana ❤p
R.I.P. Matthew Perry, Thank you for the laughs and the love you gave everyone! ❤️
R.i.P. Mattew. Im sure Gunther has a nice cup of coffee waiting for you.
💔❤🥲
Shortly before Matthew's death I'd started rewatching Friends. What a sad, sad loss but I think his greatest legacy, ironically, will be created now 🌹
I love Mathew Perry as Chandler in Friends. Some of the best ones were of him trying to quit smoking. He was so funny. Even though he ended up beating his demons the damage he did to his body got him in the end. So sad.
Love you Matthew perry so much
Loved your clip with Jim burrows
Very sincere and soft about mathews death
Very sincere interview
RIP Matthew Perry, The funniest friend Chandler Bing. 😥😥😥😥
We all feel it cuz he’s been in everyone home and everyone’s funny Friend who made us feel better every single day for the past nearly 30 years. Reruns never seem to get old.
You will be greatly missed 🙏❤️
Could I BE any sadder😔
I myself does not even know when I can be used of not having Matthew Perry around anymore 😥
May God keep his soul in peace 🙏💜
What a beautiful tribute
Mad respect for Jim Burrows. That is all….
Burrows looks devastated. Sending light and strength to him & the cast.
*RIP, sweetheart.* 😢
Thanks for the laughs. You were special.
💔Matthew is an amazing person.. i am lost for words with tears in my eyes. Im heartbroken.
Yes! Chandler is Matthew. No one can be better. He introduced me to American sarcasm and Friends show helped me alot. Truly a golden individual and I wish we got to tell him he love him more before he passed.
I hope whatever he's doing away from this Earth, he knows how much ppl love him
He's dead
Read his autobiography. With the split of his parents and being ferried on his own as a very young child, traveling on airlines alone to visit his parents.... He never got over that.
His autobiography is heartbreaking
@@ellie698alot of parents get divorced. He's just a weak person.
@@juliejules7780
It's not about the divorce.
One of his parents lived in Canada, the other in the US.
At the age of five, he flew between them unaccompanied with a sign around his neck saying unaccompanied minor.
Would *you* regularly do that to a five year old? Would you have felt ok at five being surrounded by people you don't know, feeling abandoned by both of your parents?
You don't think that would have an effect on a small child?
Learn the facts about his life and have some empathy.
@@ellie698 boohoo. I have no pity for drugged out celebrities
Rest in peace Matthew Perry 🙏
I did not enjoy Friends but I did enjoy some of the other movies and shows Matthew acted in. RIP Matthew..thanks for sharing your talent with the World.
I've started watching again from the pilot episode.
It's great to watch them all again.
The hair, clothes and technology (no mobile phones and those huge landline cordless!!!) have dated. But the humour.... still laugh out loud funny.
So painful to see Matthew Perry (he WAS chandler bing) and the emotional, intimacy, addiction issues played out in front of our eyes through the character. It's all there.
That’s good medicine!
R.I.H Matthew Perry The show and your character will never be forgotten. You was the light of the show and as hard as this may be for everyone from the show and your fans you will be forever Chandler Bing in our eyes. You never let us down short of a great laugh.
He'll live forever in the screen and in my heart.
My heart is still hurting and seeing this makes it hurt more💔 You can feel Jim’s pain😢 They were his kids. I raised my kids on the show-we own the DVD box set of all the seasons , which is now a priceless treasure of mine. I’m
So blessed it’s one of my favorite things besides my home & car. Friends will always be the kind of show that you can watch over & over & still laugh hysterically no matter how many times you’ve seen that episode. Comedic Platinum! God speed Chanandler Bong, thank you for a lifetime of laughter.💙💙💙 Could this be any sadder? 😢😭💔
I didn't know him. I know people who know people that knew Matt. In Hollywood, they say you're only two calls away from someone. I have found that to be true most of the time. But I do wish that I had known him. And the world, somehow, just seems a little darker now that he's gone.
Jim looks incredibly sad and heart broken. Rest in peace Matty.
Yeah he's right
I'm watching a lot of friends nowadays just to keep him able to see
I don't think I can ever "be" out of this sadness
It's a Catch 22. I want to keep watching the show as much as before because it never stops being funny. But now every show is a reminder that Mattman is no longer here, and the sadness creeps in. It's a never-ending grieving process for F•R•I•E•N•D•S fans. ❤😢
Heartbreaking to hear from james burrow.❤
Excellent interview
The kids, bless him ❤️ thoughts and prayers are with him love from N.Ireland 💚
Rest in peace ❤
I was in shock when Matthew Perry died. Still am & can remember exactly where I was when I heard it. It was traumatic & hit hard
We love you Mathew
Thank you ❤
RIP Dear Matt ❤❤❤
Still sobbing and devastated… missing Chandler Bing so much ♥️♥️♥️💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🥹🥹
We all miss Matthew so much..😢
This was nice.
I literally gasped when I heard the news! I felt like I’d lost a family member. Matthew was everyone’s friend. RIP Matthew🙏🏻
I’m actually crying my eyes out.
Love both 60 minutes Australia interviews. James Burrows is such a iconic legendary sitcom creator, equal but very different to Matthew Perry’s larger than life calibre, timing and genius in comedy. His passing shocked me to my core, we never wanted this heartbreak to happen. Love his tribute to his “son”. He will forever be immortal and eternal through the big screen, interviews and his memoir. Gone way too soon and young. ❤️♥️🫶🏻🥹📺😢 😇 ♾️ 🙏🏻 🕯️ 🕊️
Yes we've lost many of my favorites but most of my favorites already died before i was around..for example John Ritter..loved him but i was only 4 years old when that happened
When he died
I started watching him many, many years ago on Three's Company. Great actor and comedian as well. Also a tragic death😢
Both died the same age as well
Could I BE more sad. I hope you find peace. We love you and miss you more than you will ever know.
Matthew showed me sarcastic humour for the 1st time and the hability to laugh at toyrself and living with depression humour is what keeps me going. 😢❤
Helping others is wonderful, but sometimes when someone is lost, they do it because they have given up on helping themselves.
Yes it's a sad lost very talented actor you could believe when he was it's quite funny I go out Saturday lunchtime and I go to my friends they're only my friends on Saturday and I love them on Saturday is a special day also everyday is special but like friends Saturday is very special they are my friend he was a very special person per our memories are in
Friends
Only me
This hit me hard 😢
Fun fact: James burrows also directed the amazing Breaking Bad episode “crawl space”
😢😢😢❤❤❤
He will always be the best of friends,Chandler
We will miss you Chandler❤❤❤
As my father would say: “You know, there are starving children in Africa.”
rest in peace 💐🕊
One of my favorite movies is Fools Rush In. Another is The Whole Nine Yards. I've watched both soooooo many times. I'm not even a fan of the genres! He is a legend. So sorry for the loss to everyone.
💔💔Love you Mathew
❤❤😊
I’m so thankful Matthew had found God before death 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

A star of FRIENDS who just needed one really good FRIEND!! I’m an addict myself in recovery (23) yrs sobriety. I always thought I had good friends. I found out when the going got really tough. I had 1. The one who said “ HEY U STUPID MOTHER FUKR!! Get ur shit together what the hells wrong with u this isn’t u! Not a 12 step program nottA damn counselor, just the 1 friend. Jusmyopinion, my own experience! To each his own
For some, the physiology of addiction can eclipse the power of even 100 friends. I’m glad for your having found friendship and the road that is recovery. I wish you continued strength.
I don't know you, but I am so proud of you. ❤
That's tough love. It only takes one person to make a difference in someone's life. You were fortunate to have that one friend who was willing to say the tough stuff to save you. You are Blessed.
Love Always Wins
❤
Stay Strong
Not everyone has a friend.
@@lilly5157 are you an addict?
Matthew perry: “I told you the last thing I want to remember me is for FRIENDS”
It can be both and it's not his call to make anymore.
Keith Morrison from Dateline is his step dad. RIP Matthew
He's not his stepdad anymore. 😢 Wtf is wrong with you???? That's what came to mind when you found out Matthew passed away? Something is wrong with you.
How about start giving condolences instead of mansplaining things to people that are GRIEVING?!!!
Some people have no soul and it's scary they are walking amongst us. WTF 😂😂😂
His real dad was in show biz too.🌷
@@cassy420blazeYou're very rude.
To me, his legacy won’t be his friends character, it’ll be about his struggles with addiction, and trying to help others struggling with the same disease. I hope others will see it the way I do.
i so sorry for this happend 💔
i rarely ever watched Friends, but I loved when he played Roger, Patrice Johnson's ( Christina Applegate) boyfriend in the 1988 NBC made for TV prom movie , "Dance Till Dawn."
🥺
The only thing I can think of is the amount of money they all made during these years of "Friends". Wasn't it one million dollars each per episode?
BTW, he was freaking awesome as Chandler Bing.
His bravest and most notable act should be putting the most lovable and _human_ of faces on a cruelly dehumanizing disease. I hope he has peace now. Read his book.
He was himself
Wow mathew tachèd
Rip chandler Bing 🙏
Sad story
