Realized this watching this too xD

[@nanakwafoa]

At that time, I thought he was exaggerating but now... I mean I've seen him several times on this show but didn't connect the dots

He JUST got super famous - there hasn't been enough time for it to go to his head yet. Let's give it a few years and check back to see how he's doing.

[@curtissimmons2287]

He said he hates being famous ans tries to stay low key as possible

[@rocafella142]

It took them long enough to finally acknowledge Matt

[@cassiopee26]

That’s just because Matt is finally becoming the superstar he’s meant to be (so happy for him!), that’s why they showing him up 😒

[@rocafella142]

@cassiopee26 Yes! I just saw his new stand up on KZbin. I was blown away by his performance. I am upset though that they didn't include Matt's best joke in this video. The hood jeopardy question "what's something that's exclusive to white people?" And Matt said, spending time with their Dads 🤣🤣🤣 I guess that was too offensive for some.

[@cassiopee26]

@@rocafella142 loooool I never heard that one! 😂 Thank you for letting me know 😆

Oh you think so? So them hiring him as a nobody giving him a platform that built his connections to become a star today wasnt any acknowledgment?

So Matt got his teeth fixed, Gained weight and Worked out ... Dude is inspiring.

[@simplysarah0310]

He may have not had to get them done. Some people’s teeth just fix on their own as they age and their facial structure changes. Mine did.

[@phoenixgirl70]

@@simplysarah0310No his were different sizes completely. I had braces for 3 years I know how they can change the face. But veneers can’t. His teeth are too perfect and look a little obvious. He didn’t just have gaps. His teeth are twice the size they used to be. But I have no problem with people doing that. If people can afford it they can maybe not be afraid to smile for the first time.

I watched WnO when I was a teenager back when it came out but haven't seen him in years, didn't know he was known for anything before this.
