Could We Be Any More Excited for Matthew Perry?

He always said he'd be there for you.
Matthew Perry has a new TV comedy in the works, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The as-yet-unnamed series finds the erstwhile Chandler Bing as the fortysomething manager of a sports arena.
The actor, most recently seen in 17 Again, plans to star and cowrite, as well as executive produce with Thomas Schlamme and Jamie Tarses, who were both involved in Perry's last series, Aaron Sorkin's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
Like fellow Friends Courteney Cox as a divorced mom looking for love (or a younger guy) on Cougar Town and Matt LeBlanc on the upcoming Showtime series Episodes (in which he plays "Matt LeBlanc"), Perry's new project sounds like it offers both the reassuring return of a popular actor and the chance to tweak an image honed over the years on Friends.
Seems like a win-win. We just hope it's funnier than Studio 60.
