Mathew Perry is Mr. Sunshine

Matthew Perry popularly known as Chandler Bing has a new show titled Mr. Sunshine.

Matthew revealed that he came up with the idea for this new show—about a 40-year-old sports-arena manager who realizes how alarmingly selfish he is—from his own personal life experience.

When asked for more details on his former, self-proclaimed "selfish" self, Matthew quipped: "I will say if you want the answer to that just pick up any newspaper from 1996. Look at any magazine cover. They say 'write what you know' so that's an interesting road for someone to go on, to changing your behavior to being a better guy."

As for the challenges of shedding the skin of Chandler Bing in movies and on TV, Matthew joked: "You can tell how successful my movies are by the fact that I'm here. It's an interesting dilemma. You want to do a lot of some of the old stuff ‘cause that was me too, but we want to expand on it somehow. I don't think people want to see a character that's night and day different than Chandler, but we want to do some different things."

So will any of his Friends costars show up on Sunshine? Matthew said maybe in the future (how diplomatic)

Mr. Sunshine is slated for January.
