Matthew Perry‘s appearance on the popular talk show, “David Letterman,” was filled with laughter, anecdotes, and interesting insights into the actor’s life and career.
As the star of the hit show “Friends,” currently the number one show on television, Perry was welcomed onto the show with much fanfare. David Letterman introduced Perry to the audience, acknowledging his role as Chandler on the beloved program.
The conversation began with Letterman asking Perry about how he was handling the summer heat.

Letterman then delved into Perry’s background, revealing that although he was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, he had moved to Canada at a young age. Perry confirmed that he held dual citizenship but voted and paid taxes in the United States.
