Meet-Up With Matthew

Meet-Up With Matthew is a late-night talk show program hosted by Mangrove Cove High School, starring the school's very own star news anchor Matthew Matthews. Matthew uses it to keep his viewers updated with the non-news related aspects of Mangrove Cove. In the first book, it serves a major role as a platform for Leo to get himself noticed, although both Matthew and Ace abuse it to keep Leo from talking.

It is heavily implied that Meet-Up With Matthew only benefits the richest and most popular kids in school, like Venice, Ace, and Brian, and that Matthew is heavily influenced by whoever can pay him the most money and bribe him into speaking well about them.

Book 1: The New Kid
The only segment of Meet-Up With Matthew shown is the one featuring Ace and Leo, wherein Matthew and Ace seem in cahoots to keep Leo from getting a chance to speak. They boast about Ace's football skills and say that Leo has no chance of joining the team.

Two segments of Meet-Up with Matthew are mentioned, although not shown. One of them features Venice Carlton, but what it is about is not known. The second one features Brian Narcissus and discusses how he keeps his hair so perfect. The latter apparently garnered the most viewers in Meet-Up With Matthew history; Matthew thinks it's because a bunch of girls tuned in to see Brian's beautiful face.
