Before I say anything else, it needs to be said that the above crotch grab was real. I didn’t think that guest Rick Matthews was really going to go for it during pictures, but it actually happened. In addition to everything else about the comedian, he is committed to his craft. He’s in it to win it.
I’m very late in posting this (having just wrapped Episode 51), but I’d been hearing about standup comic Rick Matthews since the first season of the show. He’s a Comedian’s Comedian: dirty at times, painfully honest and very, very funny. Having never met him before, I wasn’t sure how he’d interview, and this was one of the shows where the Guest and Co-Host (Kevin Thomas Jr.) took the baton and ran away from me with it. I didn’t keep up that well, but it doesn’t matter, because it was a great show in spite of the host. Judge for yourself:
Thanks to Matthews, Kevin Thomas Jr for circling back around to Co Host and, as always, Richard Wicka for housing us, editing and producing the show. We ran out of time before I got to talk to Rick about his time onstage with Dave Attell (one of my all time favorite comics), but that’s no big deal. There is no Bonus clip for this episode because one wasn’t supplied. That’s been a dangerous trend for Season Four, so we’re going to have to work on that. There’s another show coming up as soon as it posts, so I’ll talk to you all real soon.
