Irish Goodbye: Chris "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews "Retires" Live On Air, Surprising MSNBC

He just announced his retirement and then just walked off the show, citing #MeToo style allegations about his behavior as prompting the sudden retirement.

Doesn't sound like anybody at MSNBC knew Matthews was going to do this. Kornacki is visibly rattled. I should probably pretend I'm not enjoying this, right?

Five women were planning to come forward.

Matthews was a serial sexual harasser.

He also told one black woman, “In another time I’d have owned you.” https://t.co/sFSxoZ6lYc

And here's the shot when the commercial break ended and the camera cut to a stunned Steve Kornacki, who was obviously not prepared for Chris Matthews' announcement, nor to fill in the hour of airtime when #Hardball would usually run. pic.twitter.com/idqhwvi3rl

Announce your retirement in the beginning of your show and not even finish the rest of the hour.

Chris Matthews is a legend for this. https://t.co/DzRnj2caav

Instead of wasting your time watching the full Chris Matthews "retiring" from Hardball speech... I narrowed it down to the 14 second #MeToo part for you. pic.twitter.com/NSQzMypJFl

Some suspect that management gave him a talking to about recent complaints about his inappropriateness with female guests -- something that's been going on a long time.

He might have gotten pissed about a dressing down and decided to act up.

Maybe he was actually told he was going to be let go, maybe after the election. But maybe decided, the hell with that, I'll leave them without a host.

Another suspicion: MSNBC was happy to cover all this up until Matthews started taking on the progressive wing, and then leftwingers and Bernie Bros decided to cut him loose.
