Matthew Perry Joins His 'Friends' in Primetime -- Will Star in New Sitcom

By: Kim Potts

Monica and Joey aren't going to have all the primetime fun ... Chandler's back, too. 'Friends' star Matthew Perry is developing a Sony Pictures TV sitcom in which he'll play the self-involved manager of a sports arena who begins to re-evaluate his life when he turns 40.

The actor, who turned 40 himself in August, is just the latest 'Friends' alum to return to the tube. Courteney Cox is currently starring in 'Cougar Town,' a new comedy hit on ABC this season, while Matt LeBlanc recently signed on to star (as Matt LeBlanc) in Showtime's upcoming comedy 'Episodes.'
