Matthew Perry gained widespread recognition for playing Chandler Bing in the acclaimed TV sitcom Friends, where his sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing played a pivotal role in the show’s immense success. Regrettably, the esteemed actor passed away on October 28, 2023, succumbing to the acute effects of ketamine build-up in his body system.
Since his death a few months ago, Perry has received praise and tributes from devoted fans and colleagues. For the upcoming Emmy Awards ceremony, his friends’ co-stars are preparing to honor him and his legacy in a heartfelt gesture.
The upcoming 2024 Emmys will pay tribute to the late Friends star, marking the first posthumous honor at an award show for Perry since his unfortunate passing last year. His co-stars, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, will also attend the ceremony.
During the live TV broadcast, Perry’s co-stars are expected to offer heartfelt farewells to the comedy icon, possibly accepting a special lifetime achievement award on behalf of their late friend, who, despite being nominated five times for an Emmy between 2002 and 2021, never secured a win.
The highly anticipated Emmy Awards reunion marks the first public appearance of the cast since gathering at LA’s Forest Lawn Memorial Park for Perry’s funeral in November. A source close to Courteney Cox, known for her role as Perry’s on-screen wife, Monica, has disclosed that the reunion is anticipated to have an emotional impact on her and the entire cast.
“It’s going to be incredibly tough for her and the rest of the cast to keep their emotions in check when they deliver their personal eulogies,” the insider confessed. “They all loved Matty like a brother and are still utterly devastated by his loss.”
