Matthew Perry pulls through with a little help from his Friends.
On Monday’s episode of SiriusXM Andy Cohen livehost Andy Cohen asked the actor about his residual income from the popular sitcom in which he played Chandler Bing.
“You spoke with Diane Sawyer about the resurgence of Friends the past few years, and it made me wonder,” the 54-year-old Cohen began. Friends the checks coming in today, would you characterize them as abundant checks? Or would you say it’s a trickle at this point?”

After Cohen again asked if the checks were “abundant”, Perry replied, “They’re not bad.”
The actor explained, “And they come in the form of text, ‘You just did that.’ And I go, ‘Oh, great.’ “

In Perry’s interview with Cohen, he also opened up about his love life, telling the host he “couldn’t be more single.”
After briefly discussing his past experience with dating apps, he said he prefers going offline. “I’m gone forever,” he told Cohen. “That’s not the way to meet people, I don’t think. I don’t know how to meet people, but that’s not the way to do it.”
On whether or not he’s looking for a partner who’s also sober, Perry said, “That would be nice. But it’s not a necessity.”
“You know, I wouldn’t like to be with someone who’s been so drunk you can’t recognize them,” Perry explained. “That wouldn’t be good… But I don’t have any rules about that.”
