This B- list host/sometime reality star who got his shot because of the kindness of others shows what kind of guy he is by taking shots at the permanent A list host who is too ill to fight back.

Really nice.

Unless you are someone who can advance his career or higher than him on the list, he is a jerk.

Ross Mathews claims Barbara Walters bullied him in new book

Ross Mathews has an interesting story Barbara Walters in his upcoming book “Name Drop.”

The TV personality, who first found fame as “Ross the Intern” on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” recalls that in 2007 he was asked to appear on “The View,” an appearance that went so well that Walters suggested on-air that Mathews should return to co-host.

Mathews, now 40, soon returned and brought along a “Tonight Show” camera crew to film the experience. While there, he says he was invited into the makeup room, where the ladies toss around topics for the show. Mathews recalls that he felt comfortable chiming in one topic and that’s when he claims Walters barked, “Who is he and why is he here?”

Mathews assumed she was kidding, so he responded in dramatic fashion, “I’m here to cohost The Viewwwwww!!!!!” He says Elisabeth Hasselbeck — who had her own issues with Walters — even tried to diffuse the situation by trying to remind Walters who Mathews was, but the ABC newswoman was having none of it.

“Can someone please tell me who is so I can talk about him on television,” the “View” creator allegedly said. Mathews says he couldn’t help blurting out, “Why are you being so mean to me?” to which Walters replied, “Because I have no idea who you are or why you are here.”

“I decided not to take it personally,” Mathews writes. “Whatever the reason, I can assure you of this: Barbara wasn’t just some confused older woman … At the time she was sharp as a tack and totally in charge.”

After the heated exchange, Joy Behar kindly whispered to Mathews, “Don’t worry about her, honey,” he writes.

The “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge says he decided to not let the encounter upset him. While he and the ladies were waiting backstage to walk on set, he found himself right next to Walters.

“Barbara? Do you have any last-minute advice for me?” he asked, to which Walters promptly answered, “I’d like to tell you to go out there and be yourself but I hope you won’t.” – Source
