Publisher's summary

From Ross Mathews, the nationally best-selling author of Man Up!, judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and alum of Chelsea Lately, comes “a delightful mix of sweet and sour celebrity experiences” (Shelf Awareness) in this hilarious and irreverent collection of essays.

Pretend it’s happy hour, and you and I are sitting at the bar. I look amazing and, I agree with you, much thinner in person. You look good, too. Maybe it’s the candlelight, maybe it’s the booze. Either way, let’s just go with it. Keep this all between you and me, and do me a favor? Don’t judge me if I name drop just a little.

Television personality Ross Mathews likes telling stories. He was always outrageous and hilariously honest, even when the biggest celebrity he knew was his favorite lunch lady in the school cafeteria. Now that he has Hollywood experience - from interning behind the scenes at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to judging RuPaul’s Drag Race - he has a lot to talk about.

In Name Drop, Ross dishes about being an unlikely insider in the alternate reality that is showbiz, like that time he was invited by Barbara Walters to host The View - only to learn his hero did not suffer fools; his Christmas with the Kardashians, which should be its own holiday special; and his news-making talk with Omarosa on Celebrity Big Brother, which, as it turns out, was just the tip of the iceberg. Holding nothing back, Ross shares the most treasured and surprising moments in his celebrity-filled career, and proves that while exposure may have made him a little bit famous, he is still as much a fanboy as ever.

Filled with “charmingly told” (Booklist) tales ranging from the horrifying to the hilarious - and with just the right “Rossipes” and cocktails to go along with them - Name Drop is every pop culture lover’s dream come true.

Amazing book! loved it.

Ross is such a bright light in this world. Highly recommend this book! His first book (Man Up) gave me so much comfort and joy. Name Drop delivers the same Ross but on a more personal level. It truly feels like we are having cocktails together hearing these stories.

Next best thing to being with Ross Mathews!

I adore Ross Mathews! He is one of the few celebrities who I wish was a personal friend. The stories in this book are fun and he is the narrator. Fun recipes are included.

Such a joy!

I love Ross! I've watched his career since he started as Ross 'The Intern' on the Tonight Show, Chelsea Lately, and I adore seeing him on RuPaul's Drag Race. He is so wonderfully bubbly, perpetually happy and has an infectious joyous spirit. Even while listening to the book, I went back to watch the youtube videos he mentioned. Some good, some bad, but he was always himself.

This book is a glimpse into his life, career and gaggle of celebrity friends and frenemies! Love the inclusion of drinks and food. All of us gays love a good cocktail and a nosh!

Love you, Ross. Thank you for the stories and the laughs!

A funny man shares many funny tales.

Ross's performance was brilliant. I laughed out loud in public when I didn't expect to.

OMG I am in Love with Ross Mathews after this book!

I’ve seen Ross on TV and always thought he was funny, so I thought I would take a chance on his book and boy am I glad I did!

This book is so ENJOYABLE! I started laughing in the first 5 minutes and didn’t stop till the end. He reads his stories so genuinely like he is directly having a conversation with you. He is absolutely hilarious and comes off as a half glass full (probably with a delicious cocktail) kinda guy even in bad uncomfortable situations. He even gives you drink and food recipes for entertaining. The world needs more Ross Mathews! Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS BOOK!

Caught the name

I loved Ross’s 1st book and when he announced he was writing this I was excited. The book is a fun listen however with the exception of a couple of chapters I was not more excited I guess I my Expectations were to high or I’m jaded but glad I listened.
