Jason Ritter is having lots of fun on TikTok lately for his fun dances to Matlock‘s main jingle.
If you don’t know, on the CBS TV hit, he portrays one of the lawyers at Jacobson Moore, the fictional law firm central to the story of Madeline “Matty” Matlock (Kathy Bates) and her quest to get justice for her daughter’s death.
However, Jason‘s TikTok dances are causing fans of the series to talk. You’ll notice in his TikToks, he is sporting quite a prominent mustache on his face.
In the show, his character is clean shaven. This has led some to theorize that Jason is the culprit Matty is looking for (who allegedly hid important papers that could have helped the opioid crisis, which took her daughter’s life.) Many are guessing that because Jason is growing facial hair, it means that he won’t be involved in season two because he’ll be brought to justice in season one.

Jason responded to this talk, telling TV Insider, “[My mustache is] for another show that I’m working on called Lanterns. Mustaches can be shaved off. As soon as I’m done [with Lanterns], I’m back to Matlock.”
If you didn’t see, CBS canceled 4 TV shows in the last few weeks, and Matlock‘s status has also been confirmed.

@jasonritter1980 Sorry to the guy who said me continuing to dance was cringe!! Unfortunately for that man I am immune to being called cringe as I went through a long stage of being the most intense cringer at everything I did until one day I thought “who has the time?” In “Hey Jude” Paul McCartney says “For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder.” And my little 8th grade brain said “oh thank heavens I can stop trying to be something I am just not, which is whatever “cool” is.” And after that any time I felt worried about doing something, like dancing or anything I would ask myself if what I was afraid of was just being embarrassed, and if it was just that, I’d force myself to go out on a limb and do it! And a lot of times I had to sit in the embarrassment, but I at least learned something from it!! And at least I knew what it was like to try that thing!! As far as I could tell, in order to be cool you had to not really care or like a lot of things this beautiful world has to offer, you have to think everything sucks, because even liking anything is putting yourself out there to be made a fool of. So anyway I enjoy being a bit of a fool! Also how do you know if your friends really like you if you’re cool! What if you forget to be cool one day? Are they still around?? I guess cool people might not care that much about true friendships either???? I don’t know, I’ve never been cool! When I would try to dance as a teenager it would be this: stock still. Maybe tapping my outer thigh to the beat with a hand at the bottom of a stiff arm that will not leave my side for anything. And MAYBE straightening my knee on the beat from it’s natural bend. MAYBE ALSO gently nodding my head but imperceptibly. How sad to be trying to watch a show or listen to music when all you can think about is people looking and judging!!! So now I dance like no one’s watching and then I post it for anyone to see because that is BY FAR the most potentially embarrassing option and I am here to embarrass myself as much as possible. ANYWAY!! Sorry to that man, but he can always scroll! He’s responsible for his own eyeballs! I’m just here in a room Melanie had nothing to do with decorating wise being a dork! I love you guys thank you for reading! Ohhh ooops Matlock is tomorrow night!! What did you guys think of that last episode!? Bet you didn’t see that coming!!! CBS Thursday at 9 and after on Paramount +!
