Matt Drudge opened up to ET in these rare interviews amid the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998. The Drudge Report founder explained his website's role in breaking details about the President's affair at the dawn of internet journalism. Throughout the year, Drudge commented on Linda Tripp's tape-recorded conversations with the former White House intern, Kenneth Starr's investigation and the changing face of news stories in the '90s. Following Clinton's grand jury deposition in August 1998, Drudge reflected on going from ‘folding t-shirts in a gift shop’ in Hollywood to instigating a media firestorm that changed Washington D.C. forever. And, yes, he explained the backstory of his trademark hats. Billy Eichner portrays Drudge in 'American Crime Story: Impeachment,' airing Tuesdays on FX.

After seeing this I realize that the casting of Billy Eichner in the FX series was bloody perfect. There are such similarities in the facial expressions and voice inflections between them. It really was a no brainer.

You're very naive. The political climate was as toxic as it is today. The only difference is that the right wing loons who attacked the Clintons have been replaced by the left wing loons who attack Trump. I am an independent who despises BOTH of them. Unfortunately, independent THINKERS like me are a small minority in American politics

After watching Impeachment and seeing episode 3 where Drudge arrives. I say fedora hats off to the actor who plays this man. Got his voice, his mannerisms and style down to a tea👌🏿😄 Plus the moment he turned on his pc and that old time sound of the modem was connecting brought back some memories😆⌨🖱

The worse mistake an Employer like the White House could had done about some problem person like Linda Tripp was not fire her. Also had Linda Tripp suspicious behavior of Criminal activity at the Pentagon been known she might had been prosecuted and personally not been taken seriously at all.

Flashback indeed! They made him look like quite the fool on the FX show, clever as he was. But it was fascinating to watch. We all remember what happened and how the Drudge Report did, literally, show us the potential power of the internet (ugh--dial-up!), change the way we get our news and the standards we have, and most importantly probably, he defined an era and a new generation of what working and notoriety meant. Not always for the better!

Matt is a lowlife. He coulda been a respected journalist, but he knew how much stupid Americans eat up the news tabloids & so he basically set up "the National Inquirer of the internet" The reason Matt is so reclusive is because he's a friggin lowlife who is now finally reviled by everyone. He's always been a far left pervert & he only went after the Clinton's for all those years because all he cares about is making tons of money, & he knew that by attacking them, (even though he voted for them) he knew there was bigger money in attacking the Clinton's as opposed to the 1st Bush White House. Since Hillary lost the election to Trump, the Clinton's are no longer relevant so the pervert Republicans who clinged onto every salatious detail of the Clinton's quickly.began to not click on the Drudge Report, and as a result, web traffic on his tabloid site took a nosedive! So since he knew he lost the pervert Republicans because the Clinton's were figuratively "irrelevant" in the media, he then used his typical sexually perverse strategy to gain more click traffic by doing to Trump what he did to Bill Clinton and that is to sensationalize Trump's love life or sexual escapades and it worked!!! His traffic is up again because Drudge has proven that there are as many tabloid seeking, sexual perverts in the democratic party as there are in the republican party!! So once the Republicans LOVED Matt, and the democrats HATED him (and rightly so!) But now the tables have switched! And now perverted lowlife Matt is LOVED by the tabloid seeking perverts on the left! But let's be clear, most Republicans as well as Democrats r not tabloid loving perverts, so Matt is basically reviled by all sides now. But both sides do have their share of knuckle dragging, drooling cave men who will always make Drudge very rich because even though even in his inner circle, his few friends don't like him & know how much of a scumbag he is, u do have to give him credit for knowing how to manipulate both sides of the Dem & Repub voter base Hey Matt, it's me Craig. U know who I am. You always were a trenchcoat wearing "flasher" loser & u always will be. But what do u care? U have no conscience. Ur filthy rich & to u that's all that matters. So long Scumbag

What's hilarious to me is that Matt Drudge is clearly gay and a lot of conservative men who check his website daily and love him for what he aggregates *also* hate gay people. I'd love to hear that contradiction reconciled by a gay hating Drudge lover some day.
