Television and Film
In the early '90s, Matthews appeared as a contestant in a special edition of Win, Lose or Draw in which all the contestants were Chicago radio and television personalities. In 1994, Matthews appeared as a surfer in an episode of Baywatch entitled "I Spike". That same year, Matthews' alter-ego, Jim Shorts began hosting a show on the Chicago's SportsChannel America affiliate called The Jim Shorts Cavalcade of Sports (For You). The show was a send-up of sports clip shows, in which Jim had to recreate the plays with video games because—as he claimed—he couldn't get the rights to the footage. The show also featured notable guests, such as Johnny Kerr, but Kevin, as Kevin, didn't appear on this show during its run from 1994 to 1996. The same year this show launched, Matthews made a cameo appearance in the movie Blink during the scene on the train.

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or film:
“His [O.J. Simpson’s] supporters lined the freeway to cheer him on Friday and commentators talked about his tragedy. Did those people see the photographs of the crime scene and the great blackening pools of blood seeping into the sidewalk? Did battered women watch all this on television and realize more vividly than ever before that their lives were cheap and their pain inconsequential?”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
