I agree with all of that. Would add Matt is an original TVG personality. Meaning he's been on the air since 1999.
Almost 20 years in and he's ALWAYS prepared. He's ALWAYS energetic. He ALWAYS give the feel that's he's engaged, excited and happy to be on the air.
4 hours of live television requires a lot of prep time. Rule of thumb is the same time as the shift. That's pretty much the way it works for me. Four hour shift. Four hours to be ready.
Don't do the work. Gloss over. Phone it in. Do it on the fly and the show suffers mightily.
On a personal note I can say of all the people I've worked with on TVG Matt is the most consistent of character. Always upbeat. Always respectful. Looks for the good in others. Fine family man.
