One segment truly caught him off guard, compelling him to pause and reassess his role; it was a moment so startling that Mathews felt the need to “set my cards down.” His experience in the hosting chair has been overwhelmingly positive, as he described feeling “surprisingly comfortable” in navigating the complexities of the Tell All format.
Fans can rest assured that they will witness the culmination of their long-standing questions, as Mathews has vowed to tackle unresolved issues throughout the show. “The stuff you’ve been yelling at the TV, that I’ve been yelling too, I think we’re finally going to get resolution,” he shared, emphasising his eagerness to end the suspense plaguing each season’s conclusion.
Brightly looking toward the future, Mathews teased the possibility of his continued involvement within the 90 Day universe, prompting fans to remain curious about what may unfold next. “Who knows? I would say, stay tuned. Dot, dot, dot,” he hinted, leaving the door wide open for further engagement with the franchise.
The Tell All episode, set to premiere on May 18 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC, is anticipated to draw in viewers eager to see how the narrative concludes for the couples they have followed. With Mathews at the helm, this season’s closure promises to be as gripping as the journey leading up to it.
