Will You Be There for Him?

Matthew Perry has found a friend in veteran producer Peter Tolan (The Larry Sanders Show, Rescue Me), and the two are teaming to produce a Showtime pilot titled The End of Steve in which TV’s onetime Friend will star.

Perry will play the host of a local talk show who, thoroughly embittered whenever the cameras are off, strives to find professional and personal happiness – and that includes attempting a romantic relationship with a co-worker.

Could you be more excited about this? I know I couldn’t.

Perry always was my favorite Friend, and I’ll be glad to see him back on the tube since Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip shut down after just one (uneven) season.
