After a more than 25-year run on three networks, the now-defunct America's Talking, CNBC, and now MSNBC!

Georgie56 3304 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think Hardball should continue, but maybe with Steve Kornacki at the helm. He's been doing most Friday editions of the show.

MorningNews 1448 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Apparently he announced his retirement and was gone after the commercial break. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17572-chris-matthews-resigns-on-air/#findComment-241468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 149 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 They said on the broadcast it was the last "Hardball". I wonder if it will be another MSNBC Live for a bit. I wonder if they will blow up the schedule soon then later. Maybe moving Deadline, MTP Daily (or cancelling). Adding Josh Johnson etc. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17572-chris-matthews-resigns-on-air/#findComment-241471 Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Washington Post, this is what happened after the break: Quote Upon return, Steve Kornacki, Matthews’ temporary replacement, told viewers, “That was a lot to take in.” He called Matthews “a giant” and “a legend,” adding “I think you’re going to miss him and I will, too.” He then went to another commercial break.

Adding Josh Johnson etc. If they decide to move a show, Deadline:WH would be the best choice imo. They could use another female voice on the night side (besides Maddow) and D:WH would be an ideal replacement rather than starting anew in that hour.

TVNewsLover 779 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Wonder if they would consider moving MTP Daily to 4pm, The Beat to 7pm, and then have D:WH run for 2 hours 5-7pm.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Pretty sudden retirement and evidently with little warning. He had made a few controversial comments the last week or so. Can't help but think if he was feeling the pressure. If not that, then some have pointed out he seemingly hasn't been all there lately, especially when signing off.

Spintech33 126 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Retirement pretty abrupt if you ask me.. However, a true legend in this business. As what should replace hardball remains to be seen. However, I would like to see Deadline White House go primetime.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Chris Matthews was one of a kind. No debate to that. As for a replacement ... my personal choice, the only choice for a replacement ... KEITH OLBERMANN. His Countdown show he had was excellent. His opinion pieces he had on air, was spotless and perfect. I remember the one he did when he scorched George W. Bush for playing golf and the one where he spent an entire hour on a commentary about the Affordable Care Act. Keith (like Rachel Maddow) was a steady guiding light in troubling times. And without trying to editorialize any more than I need to, something we need right now. -- Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17572-chris-matthews-resigns-on-air/#findComment-241592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
