1. I'd like to see where he made the announcement.

I wasn’t watching.

[jberryhill]

4. Added

[cwydro]

7. Thanks!

Interesting speech lol.

[jberryhill]

9. Kornacki put together a eulogy that he's delivering at the end

.

[cwydro]

11. Dayum, I'm missing everything tonight!

[jberryhill]

17. Chris Hayes now delivering one.

[cwydro]

18. Hopefully I can catch Rachel later or see it in the morning.

But thanks for the updates!

Sound to me it was a retire or get fired, but I bet he caught them short with that speech lol.

[BigmanPigman]

22. Both got choked up, I am sure Rachel will too.

[lapucelle]

2. I wonder what those two women on the left are talking about. N/T

[jberryhill]

12. Arguing over which way the turds circle the drain before going down

[lapucelle]

15. That explains the hand gestures...

[dalton99a]

3. WTF

[jberryhill]

5. Matthews didn't tell anybody he quit

He resigned on air at the beginning of the program and did a Howard Beale.

[Miigwech]

8. ditto

[lapucelle]

6. It reminds me of the time Clint Eastwood was an emergeny replacement at the Oscars.

It begins a 1:00

[BigmanPigman]

24. I liked Clint's version better than Charlton's.

[lapucelle]

28. I did too. Heston was always an ass...

...Clint was really cute and cool once.

[BigmanPigman]

31. Heston used to be a really cool guy.

After watching "Bowling For Columbine" I wondered when he turned into a right winger since he was such an outspoken Dem and civil rights advocate (as well as anti-gun) until the 1970s. I read his Wikipedia page it didn't say why he did a 180° turn. Something happened to a lot of older Hollywood celebs who were left wing in the 1960s then switched by the 1980s. I think it was even before Reagun. Was something in the water in Beverly Hills?

10. Kornacki is giving him mad props now, and crying, at the end of his slot

[steve2470]

13. At the very end of Hardball, Kornacki was on the verge of tears

I know many here don't like Kornacki (I like him personally doing his analysis gig), but it's undeniable that
Kornacki cared about him. It's too bad Matthews didn't change his ways with women much sooner and apologize
and make amends.

[dawg day]

27. Yeah, like so many similar guys, CM couldn't just learn and let go of the old ways.

It's hard to change, but everyone else has had to do it. And the old frat boy "take my wife please" jokester routine is DONE.

[muntrv]

14. Kornacki looked like he was crying when speaking

about Matthews.

[jberryhill]

16. Yes he was

[0rganism]

19. Kornacki does an excellent impression of one who just saw the underside of a bus

i really hope this wasn't some spontaneous on-air quit, and Matthews set it up with his producers to look that way.
otherwise, dick move Mr. Matthews, dick move

[cry baby]

20. Major kudos to Kornacki. He handled it with grace

and professionalism.

[dewsgirl]

25. I just heard about it, I hadn't watched until now.😢

[LAS14]

21. How could he possibly fill an hour with no prep??? Does anyone have video of that? nt

[jberryhill]

23. He had some guest panels

To talk about Coronovirus, the primaries, and then he was rescued by Pete and Joe.

[Democrats Ascendant]

29. Plus lots of commercials right after

Steve was likely just lined up as a guest. Amazing that he could just so suddenly take over; well, sort of.

[lapucelle]

30. And his board wouldn't work!

He probably figured that was his lifeline.

[The empressof all]

26. A dinosaur has returned to the land before time...

I'm old so it's sad for me to see another elder leave the public arena. Chris has not aged well, he appeared frequently out of touch with the current winds and relied on older paradigms to make his political assessments. He clearly was shoved aside. Was it ageist? Probably. Was it wrong given the times and his communication style and lack of a filter...Probably not.

I was not a Fan...He was creepy with women. But as an elder....It's sad to see some of our longstanding faces drift off the daily routine.

32. Good

After his disgusting comments concerning a certain candidate’s win in Nevada he lost all respect I hade for him.

Now he can fade away with the rest of the dinosaurs who still shit their Depends when they hear the word “socialist”.
