About
Scott Cawthon's MatPat Final Theory Cameo refers to Five Nights At Freddy's (FNAF) creator Scott Cawthon's appearance in Matt Pat's "Final Theory" retirement video. In the video, Cawthon invites MatPat into his home while dressed in an emerald green velvet suit, saying, "Come, we have much to discuss." The clip of Scott Cawthon inviting MatPat became a meme among FNAF fans soon after the video was released on March 9th, 2024, with many fans commenting on how Cawthon's low public profile, and how the appearance was the clearest glimpse people had gotten of the developer in years.
