Matthew Rodrigues is the host and producer of the wildly popular Chicago Today. You may also remember him as the anchor for POPSUGAR. Matt, Jim and the Friends discuss the obvious comparison between Matt and Hoda Kotb (well, duh!), that weather daddy Sam Champion, interviewing Oprah and Matt’s journey from Portsmouth, Rhode Island to New York City to Los Angeles to San Francisco to Chocagoland. Finally, Christine and Matt battle to the death in a cut throat game called Which City Wins!

Matt reminds us that chasing a dream takes time, perseverance and focus but - in the end - it is well worth it.  Our love and thanks to Matt!
