He was surprised mid-conversation by Leno, who drove up on a golf cart.
Oh my God, Jay Leno!

After a quick hug, Leno told the interns, Ross was my favorite intern.
We had a lot of them, but he was the most annoying.

That was the fun part.
Can you believe, Jay, its been 23 years since I started on your show?
And look at at us, we look great!
In response, Leno teased, Well, I look great, anyway.
He then added, No, no, you look good.
I cannot believe 23 years has gone by, Mathews said.
To which Mathews joked, I have a mortgage, Jay.
Well, we enjoyed having you.
I always liked you because you were kind.
I think you started in the mail room.
But you just had a funny personality, he said.
I thought, Well, this kids got something.
The pair then reminisced over sending Mathews to theOceans Elevenpremiere.
I said, Well, how about that new, annoying guy, Ross the intern?
I think he might be funny, He teased as Mathews laughed.
And you did a great job and then it kind of leap-frogged from there.
