Matthew Perry on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

• Air date: Apr. 11, 1995

[@TheCrystalPhoenix]

I see a lot of people in these comments may be struggling with addiction. I would just like to remind you all, that If you truly are suffering from addiction. You need to reach out to someone. You’re too far gone, you will not “one day help yourself” you need to call your friend, priest, brother, cousin, mom, dad, uncle, co-worker, aunt, grandma, grandpa a random person at a church etc… let someone help you! That’s what you need, and I know you fear it!

[@fanoftom3483]

I was here for the Bob Saget interview. Very disappointed.

[@janie5364]

Had drug addiction to Vicodin. God set me free. Prayer works.

[@eileencalabro7909]

Honestly that is NOT the way to approach people with addiction. You're making them feel so low, insecure, & meaningless by your CHOICE of WORDS. Have compassion, empathy for what their going through.

[@n.ll.8796]

Why does it seem like rehab ppl die first from addiction but yet there are ones that 65 yr or older ones still kickin it ? Explain that ?

[@virginia3222]

I’m sure you mean well, but most substance users just stop by themselves, without any rehab or AA. Matthew Perry is the exception - after reading his book it seemed like he would have been gone much sooner if he never got any treatment. But most people aren’t like him; the man got pancreatitis at age 30, which is unheard-of (it’s caused by excessive alcohol use).

[@zahraheydari172]

The amount of sadness I am experiencing over the loss of Mathew Perry is shocking to me

[@brookehanley3659]

Just know you are not alone. I feel some profound sadness.

[@gussygatlin3093]

I took am feeling deep sadness over him being gone.... My heart hurts deeply. RIP Mat Man. 🦇🦇🔥🔥💯💯😌🙌

[@TheKiMM4]

the way he always wanted to be recognized and went up to people to tap them on the shoulder has me crying:(

[@Sluggergirl]

In his book he also talks about how ridiculously handsome his father is….Matthew, did you not see how much you look like him? It makes me sad that he didn’t seem to know handsome and talented he was.

[@brookehanley3659]

@@Sluggergirl There was some likeness but he did not look exactly like him.

[@SA-lz1vx]

What a handsome, handsome man. I wish life had been kind to him.

[@user-lt5be9jl4q]

So sad rip Matthew

[@sammyandoliver7522]

@ SA, Life was more than kind to him. Life was great to him, gave him every opportunity. He was the one who was not kind to himself and screwed everything up. Just over being an unaccompanied minor and his dad leaving him and his mom at the Canadian Niagara Falls border. Woopie. My parents did way worse to me, I'm 10 years older than Matthew and I'm still here. So are friends who went through way worse than Matthew. I guess I'm lucky I knew to quit drinking when I was 20. Also knew enough not to take drugs. It's a crying shame and such a waste and so sad that Matthew just threw his life away. I didn't watch Friends or follow Matthew Perry so this was all a shock. I didn't know he had these problems until after he died. There are these fake death KZbin channels that are always saying celebrities died when they didn't so the 1st 2 days when I kept seeing Matthew Perry died I didn't click on them thinking fake until I saw it on ABC. I obviously don't have cable. KZbin should get rid of those fake channels. I was shocked to find out it was true. Didn't expect that. Just finished listening to Matthew's book and it really enraged me that he did all that to himself. Hope he's finally at peace.

Who's here after reading his book?

[@chadhero37]

I liked the book, but it had a "woe is me, I'm a victim of being left alone" attitude. I don't think traveling as an unaccompanied minor is the route of his issues. But whatever. I've also started watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

[@reservoirfrog1]

Yep

[@alessandrafrison7473]

Wonderful book

[@UberDurable]

Saw both of Matthew Perry and Bob Saget once on different occasions in Los Angeles, sad to see them gone so unexpectedly.

[@sexyrexy6358]

It's weird how Jay was grilling Matthew on his personal life. You could tell Matthew was uncomfortable. Interestingly, a man holding out for the right woman is shamed as much as a woman holding out for the right man. Being single is seen as a disease and it's preposterous because so many married people are absolutely miserable.

[@abeltesfaye_]

He literally cheated on his gf/fiance of 2 years who thought they were getting married... and she only find out he was cheating when his Raya video talking to the 19 year old went viral. His book also shows that he really doesn't treat women well... at all. It's great he's honest about his story, but we can't pretend he treated women right or still does

[@alpur214]

Fuckin A!

[@M_SC]

@@abeltesfaye_while what some of what you say might well be true, there were no videos going viral at that time.

My heart bleeds listening to the book, my heart bleeds everytime I saw him on Friends. And it bleeds when I saw him at his college reunion. He was clean then and tou can tell he doesn’t wNt to touch champagne glass he offered to Ross. You can tell Cjandler wanted to avoid the alcohol. and Matthew Perry too. it is so hard to think what had happened to him. He has all the potential to be someone who can make it big but alcohol destroyed him. Not only but other alcoholics too!! I can imagine How many lived and marriages has been destroyed by alcohol…
