Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC, articulated the angry liberal’s soul after the less-than-enthusiastic showing from Barack Obama at the first Presidential debate earlier this month — and Saturday Night Live was there to lampoon the moment on their episode that week.
In the original clip just after the debate, Chris Matthews launched into a massive tirade characteristic of the anchor in which he fumed:
“Where was Obama tonight? … He should watch – well, not just Hardball, Rachel [Maddow], he should watch you, he should watch the Reverend Al [Sharpton], he should watch Lawrence [O'Donnell], he would learn something about this debate.”
Matthews also said:
“We have our knives out. We go after the people and the facts … What was [Obama] doing tonight? He went in there disarmed!”
As it turns out, Chris Matthews viewed the clip that ricocheted across the web after his heartfelt, post-debate rant. And Matthews says that Jason Sudekis does a great impression, but he does not believe he is as much of a blowhard as the clip makes him out to be.
When asked, Matthews had this to say about the viral SNL post-debate mockery:
“It’s not exactly accurate, but it is funny. I think I am not as loud as they have me. I think I am a little more subtle than those guys are. But Jason plays me loud. I think it’s all good.”
You can watch SNL‘s jabs at Chris Matthews in the clip below in case you missed it the first time around — do you think it’s an accurate representation of Matthews’ response?
Just another liberal nutjob.
matthews is mentally unstable to say the least.
He is entitled to his opinion any way.
I love Mathews, he speak the truth, Romney was lying and he just thought the president Obama should of call him out.
Mathews is great! More talk shows should be like his. Hate shows where the host thanks the guest for coming on and scamming us.
SCAREY unstable.
You must watch messnbc.
Matthews is about as low as a worm's belly. I rather look at a bad of shit than his face.
Mathews is a boob anyway. It's a wonder anyone watches MSLSD. There ratings are consistantly at the bottom.
Chris Matthews deserves it! He should of stayed a speech writer, like he was before he made it big on MSNBC! I like his friend who called Laura Ingram a slut! That wasn't sexist or anything and really disgusting too?
Your spelling is unstable puff.
You are right. HATE SHOWS
The Ratings speak for themselves! Enough said. End of story……..
I met they guy last Sunday (Matthews) while working my part time job in the Philadelphia train station. He's really a nice person! Has him laughing and took a picture for me.
not true
I guess everyone watches Fixed News?
Oh yes it is true. But all the smart people are watching FOX NEWS! It's about the ONLY news you can trust these last days!
He is a nut.Want to make really mad say a bad thing about a Kenney,And he will explore.
I used to watch him all the time until he became way too biased. What he said about Obama after the first debate was probably the only honest thing he's said in 4 years.
Yes, Chris Mathews, the SNL skit WAS over the top. That's what they do and why its funny. Just like Sarah Palin never actually SAID she could see Russia from her house when she used Alaska's proximity to Russia as support for her foreign policy experience. (Which was joke enough itself).
He would make a great Halloween costume!
Obama cannot run on his record so he has to resort to personal attacks and fear. He needs to explain why he is still arming Islamic Radicals,,, maybe even those that killed our Ambassador. These are facts as reported this week in the liberal rag the New York Times,,,,,,,,, google it yourselves,, arms shipments coordinated by the United States thru Saudi Arabia and Qatar went to Radical Islamists,,,,,,,,,, weren't they described as the ones who attacked Benghazi? Another fast and furious? Would explain why they tried so desperately to cover it up.
…and more characters from that cable channel!
Agree! The leg tingle should come with the Chris Matthews mask…
Thelma Nelson Vanhooser , did you mean 'kennedy' and 'explode'? you calling chris a 'nut' is like a pot calling a kettle….well you know.
I'll take Matthews over 'Anger-Issues' O'Reilly ANY DAY. At least Matthews doesn't threaten to have every single person, who disagrees with him, 'removed' from the set.
Fox News?? The ONLY news you can trust?? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Whoo! Thanks for the laugh. No, seriously! I needed to laugh today. And thanks to Ben Stein for being HONEST on Fox and Friends in regards to the under-taxation of people at the top of the income bracket. That was one of the only honest things I've heard from any of Fox's 'friends'.
THIS JUST IN! It' Saturday Night Live for crying out loud. Duh, it's comedy, political satire, and a lot of times it's very funny. Even though Mathews IS a true jerk..
Mike, worse than that was Chris Matthews telling Romney that he had no constitutional right to challenge Obama in the debate! The media is out of control. This election is a test to see how far they can take their power.

Matthews statement "WE HAVE OUR KNIVES OUT" says it all. the left is determined to use any attack or lie it can invent to distract from the fact that OBAMA IS A TOTAL DISASTER. I have never seen two candidates, Obama the failure and Romney the flip flopper, who have less to say about their records or their plans for the future. This is like a beauty contest not an election for Prescient of the United States.
Chris Mathews is a passionate, knowledgable, patriot. It's extremely difficult to maintain your cool when you feel so strongly about something. I aplaud him.
I don't know how you be came a reporter, you don't know crap, especially our constitution.maybe you're in love with obama.
