Matt Harding Tells Jaunted All About His Real Dancing Videos

So by now, everyone should know that world-class traveler and so-so dancer Matt Harding was just kidding when he told attendees at the EG Conference that "Where the Hell is Matt?" dancing videos were a hoax. When we first reported on the "revealing" speech he made at the conference, Jaunted's weekend editor tried to match Matt deadpan for deadpan, but like Matt's original "hoax," Victor's seemed to work a little too well.

You see we grew up with Milli Vanilli, Sid Finch and Adult Swim, so reading about Matt's hoax speech without watching the embedded video--but not sticking with it until the end--the concept of Matt being a hoax didn't seem so far-fetched to many readers.

Wanting to get the straight scoop, we contacted Matt Harding when the story broke and asked him if he would do an interview with us. We figured hearing from the man himself on Jaunted would clear everything up once and for all. However, Matt was slow in getting back to us, which just helped perpetuate his hoax. Memes move at the speed of light, and hoaxes hardly ever turn out as planned because so many people feel duped in the end.

However, Matt did graciously answer our all of our questions, even the silly ones, albeit 10 days after our first request. (He's apparently working on a book.)

The bottom line is Matt's dancing is real, and it is spectacular.
