Matthew Hoffman - Biography

Matthew has recently been putting his witty stamp on everything Hollywood, as host and writer of "Fashionation", a weekly red carpet clip show from the executive producers of "Project Runway" on the TV Guide Network.

Matthew has also appeared as the official correspondent for "The Fran Drescher Show" on FOX, as well as a host and correspondent for "That Morning Show" on E!, "Shop Topic" for AOL, Australia's "The Morning Show", the CW's "Hollyscoop", and New York City's Emmy award winning NBC affiliate NYC TV, where a show Matthew hosted received an Emmy for best Entertainment News. He has served as host and writer for his own shows for Jay Penske, as well as executive producer of "The Biggest Loser", Mark Koops.

He started performing in shows in New York City while still in high school, while also attending the evening division of The Juilliard School. He continued his love for performing and attended The Boston Conservatory, graduating with a BFA in Musical Theatre. While in Boston, Matthew performed as a special guest soloist with The Boston Pops.

It was not until he attended the Tony Awards as a guest of Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, that he would shift his performing emphasis from theater to hosting. Matthew was picked out of the audience by host Hugh Jackman, and took to the stage of Radio City Music Hall, where the two had quite the musical encounter. That impromptu moment was reported in The New York Post with Liz Smith declaring "If Matthew Hoffman becomes a star it'll be the best up-from-nowhere tale since Shirley MacLaine".
