Matthew Perry dead at 54
Now, one and a half years later, the world is mourning another big sitcom star, Matthew Perry. Famous for portraying Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry was found at his Los Angeles home, reportedly in his jacuzzi, having apparently drowned.

In the last week, former colleagues, friends, and others have paid tribute to the late actor.

In a statement given to People Magazine on Monday, his co-stars from the much-celebrated sitcom, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, paid tribute to their late co-star and friend.

“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates, we are a family,” their joint statement read. “There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”

“In time we will say more, as and when we are able,” they continued. “For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”

While Friends and Full House were set in two completely different parts of the US, there are some quite unbelievable connections between the two sitcoms. Meanwhile, two actors from Full House actually showed up in the storyline on Friends.

Similarities beetween ‘Full House’ and ‘Friends’
One mind-blowing fact is that both Friends and Full Huse were filmed on the same sound stage, named Sound Stage 24, at the Warner Brothers Burbank Studios in Burbank, California.

After the last episode of the legendary sitcom, it was renamed “The Friends Stage” in tribute.

As the two shows were in a production overlap, it wasn’t until season two that Matthew Perry and the rest of the Friends crew and cast moved into Sound Stage 24. We’re sorry to break it to certain fans of the show who might still have believed it was filmed in New York, but the magic all happened in Los Angeles.

Friends and Full House didn’t only overlap regarding where it was filmed. Moreover, as mentioned, two cast members from Full House were on Friends, but in different ways and not for too long a period.

In 2003, John Stamos, famous for portraying Jesse “Uncle Jesse” Katsopolis on Full House, made a surprise cameo on Friends. During its ninth season, Stamos appeared as Chandler Bing’s co-worker, Zach, and was considered a potential sperm donor for Monica and Chandler.

Chandler and Monica invited Zach over for dinner at their apartment to assess his physical and emotional attributes in what was an extraordinary moment for fans of both Full House and Friends.

It might not be well-known., but in reality, Perry and Stamos went way back. On Instagram shortly after Perry’s passing, Stamos wrote a tribute to his longtime friend, recalling when he guest starred on Friends.

“Matthew and I had been friendly long before ‘Friends,’ so when I guest starred as Zach, the prospective sperm donor for Chandler and Monica, I hung with him a lot,” Stamos recalled of his time on Friends.

“Standing backstage, ready to make my entrance, Matt whispers, ‘The audience is going go crazy when they see you! Get ready for some loud screams.’ I walk through the door… silence. I was so embarrassed.”

In the past, Stamoos had spoken of what he felt was an embarrassing moment when he starred on Friends. However, for the first time he’s revealed how Matthew Perry came to his rescue during the filming of the episode. The late actor became somewhat of a hero to John when he appeared and hyped the crowd in Stamos’ favor.

“We finish the scene and as I start to slither back to my dressing room and quit showbiz, Matt walks over to the studio audience,” Stamos revealed.

He added that Perry told the crowd: “Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for John Stamos! You guys probably didn’t recognize him at first because he’s so much better looking in person!”

“I never forgot that, and the world will never forget you,” Stamos ended his tribute to Perry.

Bob Saget didn’t appear as a guest star on the show. However, his name is mentioned twice.

In the Friends episode The One With Russ, Rachel suggests that the character Russ looks like Bob Saget. Another time, in the episode The One In Vegas, Part 2, during a costume party, Phoebe assumes Ross wants to portray Bob Saget.

Naturally, both Bob Saget and Matthew Perry’s deaths sent shockwaves across the world.

After Perry’s death, Bob Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, decided to take to TikTok to clear her mind. She went on to give new details about the day Bob died – and says that Perry’s death left her with a feeling of deja vu.

“When I saw the news hit on TMZ about Mathew Perry yesterday, it really brought me back to a very specific place of when the news came out about Bob when he passed almost two years ago now,” Kelly said in a TikTok on October 30.

“Just to let you guys know, I found out that my husband passed 15 minutes before it hit TMZ. The media had already known even before I knew.”

Moreover, Rizzo went on to express her sadness for Perry’s family and friends who found out about his death online.

“It just made me think yesterday when the news broke on TMZ about Matthew Perry, that it was very possible and likely that many of his family and even friends, close friends, didn’t even know yet. And that is just really, really messed up,” Rizzo added.

We will continue to cherish the memory of Bob Saget and Matthew Perry.

May they both rest in peace. Please share this article to honor their legacy and to thank them for all the laughter and beautiful moments they gave us.
