Matt Kennedy Gould, after his appearance on the reality TV show “The Joe Schmo Show,” returned to a life away from the spotlight. He pursued various jobs and maintained a low public profile.
Matt Kennedy Gould became an instant celebrity when he was cast as the only real person in Spike TV’s “The Joe Schmo Show” in 2003. The show was a reality TV parody where all the participants except for Gould were actors following a script, and the entire setup was a ruse that only Gould was unaware of. After the show’s conclusion and the revelation of the hoax, Gould enjoyed his brief stint in the limelight, making appearances on talk shows and enjoying the fame that came with his unique experience.
However, unlike many reality TV stars who seek to extend their 15 minutes of fame, Gould chose a different path. He decided not to pursue a career in entertainment and instead returned to his normal life. Over the years, he has kept a low profile, and little information is available about his current endeavors. It’s believed that he went back to his roots, working in various jobs outside of the entertainment industry. Despite the lack of recent media coverage, fans of “The Joe Schmo Show” still remember him fondly as the good-natured everyman who was duped on national television.
