It was SO GREAT to see them together again, and I loved all the behind the scenes stuff! "But I wasn’t a fan of the celebrity cameos and it was sad to see Matthew Perry slurring his words. [sic]" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/NeilKirbyNY/status/1398356558040473601]] Another concerned fan tweeted the actor: "You were slurring your speech a bit on the reunion. Take care of yourself. No more relapses please. You're a great actor and we need you around!!
