Matthew Hoffman steps Behind The Rope. Wait what, that voice sounds familiar, very familiar to you? You are not alone. Yes, Matthew Hoffman is the always lovable, often snarky, far from boring, never wrong Narrator of the mega-hit Love Island. Matthew chats about how his early days in LA with dreams of becoming the next Rosie O’Donnell led to hosting gigs at Extra TV, The Grammys, Tonys, Spirit Awards and a spot on Fran Drescher’s short lived “Tawk Show”, to name a few. Matthew has interviewed everyone who is anyone and we get all his hot takes on a few of our favs - Oprah - yea, let us just start with the holly grail herself, JLO, Anna Wintour (whose daughter is a childhood friend), Ellen DeGeneres, and Kate Hudson. We chat best, worst, dream interview (is there anywhere to go after Oprah?). Of course, there was that one time Kiki Palmer recognized his voice as the Narrator of Love Island, a trend that is on the rise now that Love Island has become the bona fide blockbuster that it is. Matthew describes how he got the coveted role as Love Island’s Narrator, how one prepares for such a role, host Arielle Vandenberg, how he comes up with his Iconic analyses and one liners of the hotter than hell contestants, his true thoughts on such contestants and what, if anything, shocks him most about the Love Island experience!! @matthewhoffman.tv @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by APPLE LEISURE GROUP - https://www.applevacations.com/BTVR ($75 Off Your Stay at Live Aqua in Cancun or Punta Cana - Enter Promo Code “SAND75”) Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope") Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
