Having dealt with Matt Labov on a reporter-to-flack basis, I’ve found him to be about as much help as a chocolate teapot. And his obstructivist approach to media management certainly didn’t helpe Ferrell and Baron Cohen’s last films set the world on fire. Typical Hollywood: promote the ineffective assholes
Matt deserves this promotion, He is the greatest publicist ever!
( so how could my little brother becoming president be boring?)
Why does anyone care about PR companies?
Matt has been around a long time. He doesn’t return all calls anymore like he once did which is the sign of a dick. But that said, he’s not a bad chap and we all wish him well.
Thank you.
hes a douche and should be banned from wilshire blvd
