John Moore: Tell me about an adorable audience interaction after your shows.

Matt Baldoni: Man, we get those every night. I think my favorite happened about a year ago in Las Vegas. There was a huge, sellout crowd, and we were talking to fans after the show when I hear this woman with this thick Irish accent behind me asking, “Is he related to Barry? Because he’s a dead (bleeping) ringer!” So I turn to her and she in her 60s, and she is just dressed to the nines. She told me she had come all the way to Vegas from Ireland, and that her No. 1 priority was to see this show. She started getting all misty-eyed, and I asked if she was OK. And she tells me, “In the summer of 1966, I was Barry Gibb’s girlfriend,” and she started crying.

John Moore: That’s sweet!  

Matt Baldoni: Look, dude: I don’t know if she was telling the truth or not, but I would like to think she was. So I asked her, “What kind of a guy was Barry back then?” And she said, “Oh, he was so sweet. He was so gentle and kind. And he even bought me a ring.” And I know from a friend of the family that that’s what Barry used to do: He would buy every girl he was attracted to a ring.

John Moore: See, I am the jerk who would have said to this lady, “You were Barry Gibb’s girlfriend? You and 500 others.”

Matt Baldoni: But in all honesty, Barry got married in the early 1970s, and he has been married to the same woman ever since. More than 40 years.

John Moore: OK, so I am going to ask one last, really hard-hitting question.

Matt Baldoni: Bring it.

John Moore: What do you think of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake’s Bee Gees routine?

Matt Baldoni: Oh, dude, I think it’s hilarious. Both of those guys are insanely talented. I don’t take myself too seriously. More important, Barry finds it really funny, and of course he joined them on stage. Look, there is no such thing as bad publicity when entertainers of that level of fame bring more exposure to the Bee Gees’ music  – and that all contributes to how good the timing is for The Australian Bee Gees Show. But I would be really curious to hear what both of them think of what we are doing.
