Matthew Fox (aka johnlocke 4815162342) talks about his work on the RPG, the other Characters and the future of LOST:
"Alright people this is gonna be a pretty interesting evening tonight as were about to cover the whole spectrum from mystery to hot booties to cars and back to booties. Most of everything I personally care about. We have Jessica Simpson back on the market again and P.J. Brown from the Chicago Bulls in our show so far. But let's begin with our favorite stranded-on-an-tropical-island-surgent: Matthew Fox everybody!"
Jay points toward the drapes where all the guests normally enter.
Mathew walks in smiling, and waves at the crowd as he walks toward his seat. He sits down and the cheering begins to die down.
Jay reaches out his hand from behind his desk to welcome Matthew with a pleasant smile till the crowd calms down.
"So ... Matthew, I gladly notice that you shaved for tonight!"
Mathew laughs to himself and nods.
"Yeah... yeah, thought it would be necessary," he states as he attempts a pun.
"Yeah I mean honestly, that stuff in your face on the show ... is it the plot or just pure laziness. Like you're going into the make up trailer in the morning and the girl goes like: "Do you want a shave this morning mister Fox?" and you just say: "Nah, that could wait another day!"
Jay comes up with some funny voices as he impersonated Matthew and the make up artist.
Once again Mathew nods and laughs.
"Yeah, I mean, that's perfect, that is exactly what we do," Mathew jokes, "But I mean, obviously there are a lot of mysterious things on the island, and I have heard from the writers, that Jack's beard will be explained in Season 3, and will have its own little story to it"
Mathew continues to joke and gets a few laughs from the audience.
"Will there be flashbacks too? Like when did he start to grow and what the women said about kissing with it?"
Mathew smiles.
"Well I can't give to much away, but yes it will have a flashback." Mathew jokes around, but makes it seem like he's serious.
Jay nodes with serious excitement.
"Well I am definitely looking forward to that. At least Damon Lindelof seems to be an expert on short facial hair! So there might be even a little of his own personality flowing into that episode right?"
Mathew continues the little charade.
"Absolutely, I mean Damon does such a wonderful job, but I don't think we'll see all of Damon's abilities as a writer until the story of Jack's beard," Mathew begins to laugh.
Jay joins in with laughing.
"Then LOST really has to be the crappiest TV Show ever. But seriously ..."
His face expression even turned that way instantly.
"... after all I have to thank you for giving me an excuse against my wife for not shaving every day. I can always say: "Hey darling watch LOST, it's hip now!""
Mathew listens and then smiles.
"That is exactly what I do with my wife."
"Talking about your wife ..."
Jay leans forward a little with an conspirative smile. "Wait ..." He acts like someone is telling him sth in his ear.
"The thing about your wife is coming on later. Saved by the little gizmo's in my ear!"
He leans back and opens the bottom of his jacket.
"So you came here directly from Hawaii?!"
Mathew nods with a serious face.
"Yeah, and... and it really is such a beautiful place, and all the cast and crew are loving it, its just breath-taking."
"So you took the plane?" Jay replied just very fast and without emotion.
"Yeah, and luckily..." he fixes his jacket and continues, "luckily for myself and everyone on board it didn't crash onto a mysterious island," Mathew jokes again.
"Don't you learn anything from the TV show you're in?!"
Jay acts mad.
"I hope you at least took the magic seats, the ones who always survive!"
"Well yeah, I actually forced a woman and her child out of their seats, just so I could be sitting in the same seats Jack was on the show," Mathew jokes, but puts his hand over his face as the audience starts to laugh.
"I..." he shakes his head smiling, "That's terrible, you..." he directs his attention to the audience, still smiling, "You shouldn't laugh at that," his voice becomes quieter.
"Its terrible." he added.
"A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y!"
Jay has a funny expression on his face.
"So the seat Jack has on the show was somehow connected to these numbers that appear all the time, right?"
"Yeah, which was a little disturbing, to be seating in the same seat as one of the numbers," Mathew continues to joke, then changes his face expression to serious.
"You know, its funny actually, how many people from both the cast and the crew are now scared of flying, I know Eve had a hard time with it anyway, but its just, its funny."
"You know that there is a lot of rumor on the community about where these numbers come from. Actually I made up my mind on my own ... yeah I'm capable of that!"
Jay makes an attempt on jumping at the slightly laughing audience.
"And I came up with a few pretty interesting possibilities!"
He pulls up some cards with the writing yet still hidden.
"Well there are a lot of fan theories for not only the numbers, but Jack's tattoos, Locke's wheelchair and of course the others, I can honestly say some of the theories are pretty wild."
"Yeah let's see ... I'm pretty sure I can top the wildness factor!"
He flips the first card around.
"My first assumption: The numbers are the e-bay code for the auction to buy "the" island!"
Laughing audience.
Mathew begins to laugh again.
"How did you know that? Did you talk to one of the producers, or..."
Mathew jokes again.
"After all I am not sure about this but I guess I am getting pretty close to the bottom of it!"
He flips the next card.
"Second guess: They are the devil's cell phone number!"
"Well that, that is interesting... hum... I won't deny it, but I certainly won't tell you, you've solved it."
"Wowow ... I certainly won't ask so that my neighbor finds me shot in the head next morning."
Jay flips the last card very fast.
"My last and most wanted guess is that they are the phone number of Damon's ex girlfriend!"
Mathew smiles with a look of interest.
"I never thought of that, I'll have to check it out, you wouldn't happen to have a phone with you?"
Mathew jokes.
"Accidentally I have ..."
Jay acts pretty thrilled and grabs a cell phone from under his desk. He hands Matthew one of the earphones that are attached to it and plugs the other on in his own ear.
"What were the numbers again?" he asks having his fingers already over the buttons.
"Well, there is 4, then 8, 15, 16, 23, and I think the last one is 42."
Jay looks at him frowned.
"You think? What was that about this poster on one of the trailers on set: Less thinking more acting?!"
He made even exclamation marks with his fingers.
Mathew laughs to cover up his bit of embarrassment.
"Well we try to stick to our moto," he said laughing.
"You'd better do! So ... let's see."
Jay pushes the buttons like a retard. After a while there is the usual ring tone heard. Someone picks up:
"Helloow?!" a woman says with a really funny voice.
Apparently Jay is doing it himself on the quiet. He puts down his disguising hand from his mouth to talk with his own voice again.
"Yeah ... erm hello. This is Jay Leno and Matthew Fox here!"
He gives Matt a sign to say sth.
Mathew smiles and tilts his head.
"Hey hows it going?"
"Who is that?!"
The female voice raises up again, more and more likely sounding like a wicked frump.
"This is Jay Leno and Matthew Fox, ragging reporter, trying to uncover the island mystery!"
Then the woman again: "Could you ... could you get the guy with the sexier voice on the phone again please? You're giving me the creeps!"
Mathew now, directly laughs at Jay.
"Hey this is Mathew Fox," he says trying to here the answer over the crowd.
"Like the guy from this Big Brother show where they get half nude people crowded together on an island jumping and dancing in the rain and rubbing there hands all over each other?!"
Mathew laughs while confused.
"I... I guess so, not sure if we're watching the same show," he begins to laugh again.
"Well if you are ... It's raining a lot at my place too! So if you wanna come over. And bring your hands!"
"Okay?" he says still laughing, he turns to Jay.
"I think that is Damon's ex girlfriend, I met her once just before we started shooting the pilot and sounded just like that," he said sarcastically.
Jay leans over and whispers at Mat.
"So she was after you too back then?"
"Yeah, yeah, but then she found out I was married," he said joking around.
The woman on the phone ... feeling a little overtalked ... comes up again:
"What? I thought you were divorced?! That's what Damon was babbling about! Poor old lier!!"
"Funny you should mention that," Mathew says with a straight face, "I don't want to give to much away, but we might be seeing a little more of Jack's wife, I don't want to give it away, but it might go beyond a flashback."
Jay looks surprised.
"Oh we are talking about the show?!"
He smacks his hand against his forehead, than speaks into the phone one last time.
"Okay missy we have to hang up 'cause I have a really crappy cellphone rate. Bye!"
"And tell Damon that he should come here and get his dirty socks from my drawer!!" the woman yells before Jay hangs up.
"Creepy girl! Fortunately there are no such geeks on the show. But what were you talking about your wife being on the show?"
Mathew adjusts his position.
"Yeah, I mean, there are obviously a lot of things going on, and there will actually be a huge, shocking, conclusion in the end of the next episode, that will leave people begging for more, and I think the writers did a fantastic job with it, I can't tell you that much, but you will love it I promise."
"Awe that's what we know you TV guys for. Teasing, getting us hot, and then dumping us in the trash bin to live with rumors and guesses. Come on, give us some insight! You said Jack's wife will appear? Like what? Sailing by with her Yacht, waving to wards the shore yelling: "Hey Jack, look how divorce did me good!" with Orlando Bloom by her side bare chested?!"
Mathew laughs while sitting still, listening to the story.
"Well not quite like that, and I don't want to ruin anything for you guys, and I think the writers would kill Jack off the show if I told you."
"If it's just that ... as long as they don't kill you off a show called live. But there have been rumors about the actress ... playing your wife. Tell us who it is so that we can dig up the last Playboy she was in. Or do I need to call that chick again?"
Jay points at Jack with the cellphone.
Mathew once again smiles.
"Oh god no!" he said laughing with the audience.
"Well I think I can tell you that, the actress who plays Jack's wife is indeed Denise Richards."
"Haven't seen her in quite a while. Have you already met. Guess shooting for this season is over so far?"
Once in a while Jay seemed to be serious.
"Yeah, well we actually are shooting the finale in a couple of weeks, but yeah, and she's great to work with, and really, just hilarious, but she is so devoted to her character, that I can't see her being the first one killed off," Mathew continues, "Its just been a lot of fun."
"Let's see then ... there is Sarah, Kate, Ana ... all admiring you. Come on, you must be the happiest man ever."
Mathew smiles and then goes back to serious as a thought pops into his head.
"Well Jack is, I am happy, but I think Jack's really got it going for him," Mathew laughs.
"Well if you could choose, those are 3 totally different ladies. Could refer to them as Barbie, GI Jane and Bonny, from Bonny and Clyde. In real life. Which one do you think is closer to Margy? I mean hey, after all, everyone deserves a Kate!"
Seems like Jay is lost in dreams.
"Everyone, or you?"
Mathew and the audience laugh as Jay gives him a straight face.
"No, I..." he laughs again at the straight face, "Well I think there will be a lot to offer with Kate, but Ana is sort of in the background, and I think we'll see a lot of her's and Jack's relationship right off the bat in season 2."
"That's sad 'cause I kind of like Ana too. Liked that fact that she is for the hard stuff, you know! No flower sex ... the real thing!"
Mathew says very quietly addressing mainly just Jay, but joking around, "Can... can you say sex on this show?"
"Who is gonna stop me?!"
Jay looks around laughing like Dr. Evil on Austin Powers.
"So you basically have a wife, a ex wife, a future fiancee and a martial slave for the evil "S" thingy. Wish we were all this happy."
"Well, you haven't seen any of this yet, but there is some tough competition for Jack early in season 1."
"Uhu ... competition is always admired. Well Matthew, it was very nice of you to come and see us. I wish you the very best for your future career and see ya around!"
Jay reaches out to shake Mathew's hand again.
Mathew shakes Jay's hand.
"Oh it was awesome, thanks a lot," he waves again to the audience.
The music plays in and the commercials come up.
"Alright people this is gonna be a pretty interesting evening tonight as were about to cover the whole spectrum from mystery to hot booties to cars and back to booties. Most of everything I personally care about. We have Jessica Simpson back on the market again and P.J. Brown from the Chicago Bulls in our show so far.

The music plays in and the commercials come up.
