Nick at Nite premiered the Mathew Perry: Thanks for Being a Friend special on Sunday, October 29 at 10 PM ET/PT. The special tribute was produced by Entertainment Tonight and was put together within 24 hours. After the tribute special was over, the channel also broadcasted one fan-favorite episode of Friends featuring Mathew Perry.
The late Friends star, Perry, is best known for his character Chandler Bing — who was arguably the heart of the show, as agreed by both audiences and cast members alike. The special tribute aired on Nick at Nite was 30 minutes long and featured some never-seen-before interviews with Perry, behind-the-scenes moments from the hit NBC sitcom Friends’ set, and highlights of Chandler Bing. Nickelodeon has not yet revealed if the special will be available to stream online.
The late-night broadcast block, Nick at Nite, will continue airing fan-favorite episodes of Friends that feature some of Chandler Bing’s best moments, throughout the next week, up until November 5, every day at 10 PM ET. Perry, who gained worldwide fame through his witty one-liners and heartfelt moments on Friends, passed away on Saturday, at the age of 54.
In addition to Nick@Nite, in the wake of Matthew Perry‘s death on Saturday, Max has added a tribute to the actor on key Friends episodes. “In memory of Matthew Perry, 1969-2023,” reads the tribute card, which appears at the start of all 10 season premiere episodes on the streaming service.
R.I.P. Matthew Langford Perry, 19 August 1969 - 28 October 2023
