Our favorite comedic side-kick (and former Instinct cover guy) is growing up so fast! Details after the jump.
Beginning in 2001 as "Ross the Intern" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Ross Mathews, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is under a new one-year agreement to develop his own talk show pilot in collaboration with Chelsea Handler’s production company, Borderline Amazing Productions. He will also officially serve as one of E!’s featured talents by continuing to work on shows and specials like Chelsea Lately, After Lately, E! News, and Live from the Red Carpet.
“It really is the time and I feel like I’m ready now. I know how to speak to the audience. I know how to speak to celebrities. And I know my point of view," says Matthews to THR.
“I’ve been earning my stripes for the past decade,” he told THR. “And really honing my craft as far as surrounding myself with people that inspire me like Jay Leno and Chelsea Handler. I’ve been so lucky that they provided my opportunity to develop a clear voice that the audience has responded to.”
He's funny, smart and endearing, who wouldn't love him?
We at Instinct are proud to call you a friend of the magazine, congrats Ross!
