Wonder if CNN might snap up Tweety?

[PlanetBev]

Any speculation?

Chris doesn’t seem like the type to disappear completely. He likes the sound of his voice too much.

[budkin]

1. He would fit in well there.

Wouldn't be surprising.

[Pachamama]

2. I think Chris Matthews is done....

I think his health is worse than we know, I think he has dementia and I while he may write a book, I don't think we will see much of him until its published and assuming he doesn't take a turn for the worse.

I mean that sincerely.

7. He struggles at times to find a word now. I wish him health and happiness.

[Hoyt]

3. Doubt it. He'll write books and appear as a guest. He had to be

thinking of retirement, certainly semi-retirement, the past year or so.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

5. I can see him doing a podcast as well.

A lot less of a time commitment than filling five hours of tv per week.

[Hoyt]

8. Good point. I forget about podcast. I think Franken does one.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

11. Yeah, despite the guy's faults

he has experienced a lot and has a lot of interesting stories. I wish him well.

[PlanetBev]

12. Boy, I'd love to see Franken get that MSNBC time spot

I can dream, can’t I?

[tishaLA]

4. Nope

He was losing pretty regularly to Erin Burnett in the demo and she's hardly a ratings zeitgeist. In addition to the problems with race and gender, he was a ratings drag.

[dem4decades]

6. Too much baggage to get in the door.

[Rebl2]

17. Yep

[Raine]

9. I think he's poison

he's done as far as hosting IMO.

[Goodheart]

10. Let's hope not. He's painful to watch.

[lunatica]

13. He said he's writing a book right now

Tweety has written books before. They’re on a subject he knows inside and out. Politics in Washington DC.

[malaise]

14. He won't do that - after 20 years in one spot

there is not way he could adjust and he has health issues as well.

[Mike Nelson]

15. I think not...

... but he may do occasional appearances, if nothing else comes out... I hope Ron Reagan gets the hour.

[MANative]

16. I'd bet there's a non-compete in place for at least a year

I'd also bet on a package to see him out the door. I'd be utterly stunned if he shows up anywhere before that.

[TomSlick]

18. Nah. Past his sell-by date.
