Matthew Perry, the charismatic actor known for his unforgettable portrayal of Chandler Bing in the iconic television series "Friends," has passed away at the age of 53. Before his meteoric rise to fame on the beloved sitcom, Perry showcased his exceptional talent on the small screen, captivating audiences with his wit and comedic prowess in shows like "Silver Spoons" “Growing Pains”, “Empty Nest” “Caroline in the City” and others.  

Why are we sad about his passing.  We saw ourselves in his long lived character, the sarcastic Chandler that etched his name into television history.

Beyond his acting career, Perry dedicated significant time and effort to his work with addicts, drawing from his own struggles with substance abuse to raise awareness and provide support. His commitment to helping those battling addiction served as an inspiring testament to his compassion and resilience.  

"We sit down with talented Nicole Eggert, whose name you might recognize from iconic TV shows like 'Baywatch' and 'Charles in Charge.' We dive into the fascinating journey of her career — from her very first gig in a Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo commercial to becoming a household name on two seasons on Baywatch. Nicole opens up about why she walked away from acting, including her adventure as an ice cream truck owner and how embracing motherhood has redefined her priorities and perspective. We also explore her new documentary that takes a nostalgic look back at 'Baywatch,' and like many of us, including host Tom Kelly, Nicole shares her thoughts on navigating what comes next in life.
