Matt Friend is a 28-year-old comedian, actor, host, and impressionist whose wit, work ethic, and wildly accurate
impressions have made him one of entertainment’s most exciting breakout voices. Equal parts charm and precision, he
brings an old-school reverence for showbiz with a sharp, contemporary edge.
A graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School, Matt fell in love with comedy at the age of four, after watching Austin Powers and
imitating the characters. That early obsession blossomed into a career spanning millions of fans across the globe, where
he has amassed over 5 million followers through his instantly recognizable impressions and cultural takes.
His meteoric rise has taken him from viral sensation to an in-demand presence across television, live events, and red
carpets. He’s appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show, The Howard Stern Show, Good Morning America, Sherri, MSNBC,
CNN, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and more. His 250+ voice arsenal includes names like Rami Malek, Timothee
Chalamet, Paul Giamaƫ, Howard Stern, Austin Butler, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and more.
In 2024, Matt hosted the NHL Awards, which brought in record-breaking ratings for the league. Additionally, he delivered
a surprise performance for President Joe Biden at the White House Correspondents Dinner. In 2025, Matt was named to
People’s Sexiest Man Alive list.
As a host, presenter, and live personality, Matt has become a must-have across the biggest cultural events like
Wimbledon, the US Open, Milan Fashion Week, the Golden Globes, the Emmys, the SAG Awards, the Palm Springs
International Film Festival, F1, and more. In March 2026, he joined ABC and Live with Kelly & Mark as their official red
carpet host at the Oscars, helping creating a record breaking increase in viewership for their annual post-Oscars show,
making it the most viewed episode of the season. He also hosted Snapchat’s first-ever Snappy Awards, bringing his
comedy and wit to award season’s newest addition. In April 2026, Matt hosted his first late night show special on CNN
entitled America Laughs with Matt Friend featuring a range of political and comedic guests ahead of the White House
Correspondents Dinner.
On stage, he continues to tour internationally with his stand-up comedy, selling out shows across the globe, and earning
praise from icons like Jamie Foxx, Jeff Goldblum, Howard Stern, Barack Obama himself, and more. He’s also lent his voice talents to The Simpsons and Family Guy, expanding his reach into animation, and he recently wrapped production on his first feature film role.
Matt is a student of the craft, with a deep passion for comedy, politics, pop culture, and performance. And whether he’s
on stage, on camera, or on your For You page, one thing is certain: Matt Friend isn’t just one to watch. He’s the one doing
the watching, listening, and perfectly imitating… with a wink.
