One of the challenges too is that money was readily available. The contracts for the stars in their prime years, and of course everyone getting paid residuals / syndication for the many years of nightly TV reruns.
'Friends' Deal Will Pay Each Of Its 6 Stars $22 Million (Published 2002)
NBC and Warner Brothers television studio conclude biggest deal ever for half-hour television program, one-year renewal for comedy Friends; deal will bring back entire six-person cast for what is being called last season of series, and it will pay each one salary of $1 million per episode--total...
This is how much the cast of Friends makes from reruns
Warner Bros makes $1bn each year from syndication revenue

Peaceful Journey to an actor with one of a kind comedic timing and a true understanding
of situation comedy. It would of literally being impossible to replace the Bing character with
any other actor, and that says everything. Thank you, Matthew Perry for making me laugh throughout the 90's.

I bet everywhere they go, they get people offering them drugs.
Gotta be hard for someone trying to recover
Rest in peace.
In 2018, Perry spent five months in a hospital for a gastrointestinal perforation. During the hospital stay, Perry nearly died after his colon burst from opioid abuse. He spent two weeks in a coma and used a colostomy bag for nine months. Upon being admitted to the hospital, doctors told Perry's family that Perry had a two percent chance of survival. He was connected to an ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine, which breathed for him.[57]
In November 2020, Perry became engaged to literary manager Molly Hurwitz. The couple ended their engagement in 2021.[58]
Addiction struggles
Perry became addicted to Vicodin after a jet-ski accident in 1997, and completed a 28-day rehab program that year.[59] His weight fluctuated over the next few years, dropping to 145 pounds (66 kg) due to pancreatitis.[60] He entered rehab in February 2001 for an addiction to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and alcohol.[61][62] While filming Serving Sara in Texas, he suffered severe stomach pains and flew to Los Angeles to check into Marina del Rey's Daniel Freeman Hospital. Perry later estimated he had spent $9 million to get sober.[63] He revealed that due to his addiction issues, he did not remember three years of the time he was acting on Friends, between seasons three and six.[64]In 2011, Perry lobbied Congress as a celebrity spokesperson for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals in support of funding for drug courts.[65] Perry received a Champion of Recovery award in May 2013 from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy for opening Perry House, a sober living home in his former mansion in Malibu, California.[66][67] Perry relocated the rehab center in 2015.[68]
Death
Perry died on October 28, 2023, at age 54 from an apparent drowning in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times they did not believe there was foul play.[69]Law enforcement first responded to a call reporting cardiac arrest at Perry's house.[70]
I liked Chandler, he was always a cool dude.

Matthew Perry's $9 million battle with addiction
Matthew Perry had dozens of life-saving operations, 15 trips to rehab clinics and spent $9 million trying to get clean as he struggled with drugs and alcohol.
Drowned in a hot tub…….hmmm
RIP
RIP
In his book he talked about going to open houses to raid medicine cabinets.Damn.... I didn't even know dude was an addict.
Just damnRIP
Guess no one told him BGOL was going to be this way
Seriously, I am so glad I never started anything stronger than weed. The ability to afford habits make it even harder than anyone could ever imagine.
Then if you're trying to quit life becomes like a fat kid walking through a buffet everyday. Trying to kick with that much temptation, I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to
Agreed.
Scared the fuck out of me when friends in junior high started fucking with acid, shrooms, and cocaine.
I didn't have time to fuck with all of that ... shit ... how am I gonna make it to basketball practice, and do my homework later? Mentioned to my parents in adulthood that I never fucked with that shit out of fear. And the one friend who battled with heroin addiction since his early-teens died of fentanyl-laced cocaine in the fall of 2021. People were talking about his potential demise for some 20 years (as the addiction itself lasted nearly 30 years).
I've never seen an episode but really liked The Whole Nine Yards with Bruce Willis.
I remember him saying he also went to school with the Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.
RIP to Mathew Perry
Rest peacefully...
What??? I don’t think you even understood the reference, old man!
