"Go On" Star's Bromance With Matthew Perry

Hey, I'm Tyler James Williams.

What are you gonna play for me?

I will play you "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room."

Let's do it. I love this guitar. That's what you gotta do to meet the parents. You play them a little guitar. I need to play the guitar. First of all, go on. Yes. Do you, I know you have a bromance going with Matthew Perry on set. Do you have one like behind the scenes? Is there a bromance happening? Cuz I feel like

There there there is a slight bromance. There there there is, there is. Considering that there are so many other characters in the circle who are crazy, we're the only two who are fairly together.

Okay, got it. So, I think that also plays out. That's not what they said. That that's not?

No. But go on. I'm the one that's crazy. But go on.

Oh. Did you hear that? Go on. We're dropping tags all over the place here. Um, yeah, I mean he's he's great. Matthew is, you know, he's the consummate professional. He's absolutely great and funny. It's so annoying how good he is.

It It really is. It really is. And then considering that he's like crazy successful. Yeah. Like on probably one of the most successful shows in television history. Yeah. I know another successful show. And now on another successful show. It's like, really? Who is he talking to? I feel like there's somebody who's specifically choosing Matthew to be successful over.

Now, I figured out who that is, and who is that?

No, I need to figure out who that is. I'm I'm assuming it's somebody at NBC.

Who do we need to suck up to? Who do you and I need to call right now?

Exactly. Suck up to.

But you're on the show. You're fine.

I'm doing I'm doing okay. I'm on the show. I found the person. I feel like they know me, but I don't know them.

Now, I know you guys have so many athletes on the show. Yes. And I read that Chris Bosh was your ultimate. That that was just your moment.

That was my moment. That's actually how that scene came about. I was starstruck, and like that never happens to me. I swear it never happens.

Sure. Sure.

And it was like I told Matthew and I was like, I'm freaking out. This is like Chris Bosh, I'm a huge Heat fan. And he was like, that's funny. We should put that in there. And that's how that whole starstruck scene came about.

Who would be besides Chris, who would be the dream that could walk on set and have an arc on the show?

Probably LeBron, quite frankly. Yeah. It would really be LeBron or Dwyane. Either one, any of the Heat members. Quite frank.

I'm not a Heat fan. He'd be mine too. I mean, it's LeBron. There we go. It's LeBron. It's King James. Do you play?

I do play a little bit. I like to believe that I'm LeBron James. I like to believe that I'm like 6'8".

Right. Doesn't ever elude you that when they play sports, they do that, "Here comes the bitch!" "Here comes."

But not everybody who is like 5'9" and charges into a 6'2" dude and jumps and tries to dunk like I do.

Right. No chance. All heart.

I'm just living the dream. All heart.

So you're all heart. All heart. So let's talk about Peoples. Yes. Cuz you have a film, you have TV. You got so much going on. Peoples. Now, what is this helmet you're wearing that I saw in the film?

Ah, that's the symbiotic helmet that Simon Peoples, my character, has developed and created. He's incredibly bright. He's really talented, but he's incredibly stressed.

Okay.

Imagine being in a family full of really successful people, and you're the baby. You have to be incredibly successful. Yeah. So he's really stressed and he's having a conflict between being successful and just wanting to get a girl. So there's like a bit of a meet the family thing going on. There's like a little bit of a family reunion. So I wanted to ask you, family reunion and sort of meet the parents do's and don'ts.

Okay. Okay. First of all, if you were gonna go meet somebody's parents, what do you think the ideal gift to bring would be? Or do you bring a gift? Is that sucking up?

You always Nope, you always bring a gift. Okay. Um, it depends. If you're meeting the mother, flowers. But nothing too romantic and nothing too casual. Okay. Like no red roses for the mother. No. No, God, no. No, no teddy bear, none of that. And and too casual would be like picking the flowers out of their garden.

Kind of thing.

Yeah, those would be too casual. Okay. Um, just the family in general, something really good to eat.

Okay, like what? Like what would be your thing?

Hmm. Well, you know what? Actually. Okay. Magnolia's Bakery. The banana pudding.

I'm sold. That would be the thing. Have you tried though, um, red velvet cupcake?

Thank you. Yes, I have. Thank you. Yes.

It's something cuz there's something great about attaching good feelings of food to people. Right. You're in. They'll just always remember, "You're the one who brought the great food." Heart through the stomach kind of thing. Okay. Now, if you were having a family reunion, is it appropriate that everybody you make everybody matching t-shirts? Or is that over the top?

Yes. And the matching t-shirt should have a picture of the matriarchs of the family on it. It should have that. Yes. Absolutely.

Now, are you in favor of, let's say you're going to a destination to have this reunion. Are you in favor of people being forced to share rooms?

Yes.

You are. But people who usually wouldn't. Okay, so like you're rooming with an ex.

Yes. Okay. Yes. Makes for exceptional experiences and really really awkward conversations. Cuz that's what family's all about.
