Mathews told The Hollywood Reporter, “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.”
In collaboration with Chelsea Handler’s production company, Borderline Amazing Productions, Ross will develop the new show and become one of E!’s featured talents, a step that he claims will “firm up our relationship.”
He knows how he wants to be perseived, “Oh my gosh, that’s Ross from E!. I know where to tune in to see him.’ ”
He got his start as ‘Ross the Intern’ on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2001. He had a stint on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club and has served as a frequent guest host on The View. He is also a national spokesperson for Jenny Craig.
