Matt Gould got a whole page devoted to him in People Magazine as reported on another thread.
Photo entitled Man of the Moment: Matt with a worried look on his face while holding out his right hand, palms out, toward the camera as if to say "No pictures please!" Also included in the photo are two photographers spoofing themselves, and they are within inches, yes inches of Matt. It looks as though one is taking a picture of Matt's nose hairs and the other one is taking a picture of the pores in his skin just around his adam's apple. You can't buy this kind of publicity!
Comment inset in the photo: "From second one I never questioned things," says Gould - then they show a smaller pic of everyone in robes after the it's-not-my-underwear show.
"Article entitled: I Am Joe Schmo
Matt Gould got stung on the fake reality show Joe Schmo - but won viewers' hearts.
At 28, Pittsburge resident Matt Kennedy Gould wasn't exactly going places. He'd delivered pizzas, dropped out of law school, was living with the folks. Yet he knew there must be more to life. It was called reality TV, "I watched Survivor, Road Rules - that's the best, all the drama and good-looking girls," says Gould. "I always thought I'd be great on a reality show."
Dude was right, sort of. Thanks to Spike TVs Joe Schmo, which concludes its eight-week run Oct 28th, he's the unwitting star of an elaborate reality TV parody. Gould thought he was spending 14 days in an LA mansion on a reality show called The Lap of Luxury, vying with eight other contestants for $100k. What he wasn't told was that the other housemates were actors and the show was actually a cross between The Truman Show and Big Brother. Once taping started in June, the actors realized that Gould - goggle-eyed when required to participate in such outrageous "challenges" as "Hands on the High-Priced Hooker' was a special soul. "He's so charmingly naive," says series writer Brian Keith Etheridge, 35, who played a housemate. When Gould sobbed during a Survivoresque eviction ceremony, "My heart dropped," says Etherridge.
The finale will reveal whether Gould ever caught on. Punked or not, "I love the show," he says. "Now I'm just hoping to make the most of this. It's not like I have to be famous. I just want a job where I don't have to go to an office or vote off co-workers." - People Magazine"
