Courteney Cox Bails Out Matthew Perry's Fledgling Series 'Go On': 'She's Throwing Matt A Hail Mary' A Friend Tells The Enquirer

Courteney Cox will bail out Matthew Perry with a guest-starring role on her former "Friends" co-star's show "Go On," in April, according to The National Enquirer.

"Courteney will play a character who is set up on a date with the grieving widower played by Matthew [Perry]," an anonymous source close to the two stars told the National Enquirer. "[Cox is] scheduled for only one epi­sode so far, but if viewers tune in, Courteney could be brought back for more. She's throwing Matt a Hail Mary pass to save his show, and he knows it."

The "Hail Mary" will be Cox and Perry's first television appearance together since "Friends" wrapped in 2004.

"Go On," premiered on NBC in August 2012. The 30-minute sitcom stars Perry as a sports radio talk show host still reeling from the death of his wife.

Although the show drew over 10 million viewers when it premiered, it has since struggled in the ratings.

"It was considered a great success, but it had a strong lead-in from 'The Voice,'" the source said. "Once "The Voice" finished its season, "Go On" slid badly in the ratings and has been going downhill ever since. Matt is desperately hoping that Courteney's appearance will pull his show out of its death spiral and breathe new life into it."
