The reason behind Matthew Perry’s exclusion from the 2024 Emmy In memoriam tribute
Viewers of the Emmys questioned why Matthew Perry, who passed away in October 2023, was left off of the In Memoriam section.
He was, nevertheless, previously mentioned in the January 2023 Emmys event. Matthew Perry will always have the support of his friends. The fact that Perry—who passed away in October 2023 from the acute effects of ketamine—
was left out of the In Memoriam section of the Sept. 15 award event was indeed quickly pointed out by viewers of the 2024 Emmy Awards. «did I miss it or did the Emmy’s not show Matthew Perry????» On X, the former Twitter, a fan posted. Someone else said, «How in the world did the Emmy’s not include Matthew Perry?!?!»
However, there was a reason that Perry did not appear: He was already honored at the 2023 Emmys ceremony, which was held in January after being pushed back from its normal September 2023 spot because of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes.
During that show, the Emmys paid tribute to Perry in a touching way, playing Friends’ iconic theme song «I’ll Be There For You» during the In Memoriam segment, which concluded with an image of Perry.
