Have you been paying attention? Panelist Ed Kavalee has brutally mocked Friends star Matthew Perry. On Monday's episode of the television game quiz, the Aussie comedian joked over Perry's well-documented history of his addiction battle.
Reportedly Matthew, 51, who played the famous character "Chandler Bing" in NBC's sitcom "FRIENDS" from 1994 to 2004, has struggled with addictions to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and alcohol over the years and also checked in at rehabs times. On May 31, Kavalee, a regular panelist on the show, shocked audiences with his savage comment on Matthew Perry's addiction.
During the show, Quizmaster Tom Gleisner asks - Who was David Schwimmer's crush while filing the NBC sitcom? Radio host Marty Sheargold correctly answers - Jennifer Aniston. However, his moment of glory was overshadowed when Ed Kavalee said that Matthew Perry admitted to having a big crush on Dan Murphy, who created the popular Australian liquor store franchise Dan Murphy's.
Matthew Perry Admitted To Addiction
Perry had earlier opened up about his past addictions saying that he couldn't remember three years of shooting Friends. However, he has since gotten sober. NBC's Chandler Bing became addicted to Vicodin after he encountered a jet-skiing accident in 1997.
Earlier, Perry's ex Kayti Edwards allegedly told the media that when he was in the depths of his addiction he took 80 Vicodin a day. Moreover, fans had expressed their fears for their favorite Friends star Matthew after the actor appeared to slur his speech during a promotional interview for "Friends reunion". Users on social media said it breaks their heart to see how Matthew Perry looks like.
