Gridiron Glory 25: Where Are They Now? Season 8 and 9 Host – Matt Barnes
Matt Barnes has a group of contacts on his phone with nearly every host of Gridiron Glory since he hosted the program in 2006 and 2007. “I remember when I was hosting that the previous year’s host would send a message before the first show of the season to wish the new host good luck,” said Barnes. “So, after COVID, when the show had to take a year off and things really got messed up, I thought I should make sure that the host was still getting that kind of message. So, I got a hold of every Gridiron host that I could and now each year we all reach out to the new host to let them know we are thinking of them. It’s a small fraternity of people who have been able to host that great program, and I think it’s important to show support for the person that hosts the show each year because of all nerves that come with it.”
