Speaking with THR, director Ben Winston said that working with Matthew Perry was great and called him a ‘brilliantly funny man’. Winston said, “Perry was great. People can sometimes just be unkind. I wish they weren’t. I loved working with him. He’s a brilliantly funny man and I thought he had some great one-liners in the show. I felt just happy and lucky to be in his presence and directing him on something like this.”

Friends' executive producer Kevin Bright said that the actor is doing better now. He said, “I talked to him. It was great seeing him again. And what people say is what people say. I don’t have any to say about that, except it was great to see him. And I think he’s very funny on the show. But yes, I think he’s OK.” Bright added, “He seems stronger and better since the last time I saw him, and excited about going forward.”

Meanwhile, Friends: The Reunion was telecast on May 27.
