About Chris Matthews
One of television’s most recognizable political pundits, Chris Matthews offers intense curiosity, razor-sharp intelligence and rapid-fire commentary on the Obama Administration, the 2010 midterm elections and the American political scene.
Chris Matthews is not shy about asking the tough questions as he uncovers the reality behind the spin. As host of MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, NBC News’ The Chris Matthews Show and as a frequent commentator and expert analyst on NBC’s Today, Matthews is as entertaining as he is insightful. Matthews learned the political game while working on the frontlines as a speechwriter for President Carter and as top aide to the legendary House Speaker Tip O’Neill. In addition to being a gifted political commentator and a pop culture icon—Matthews and his Hardball have been spoofed by Saturday Night Live—he’s the author of four best-sellers, including Hardball, Kennedy and Nixon (which served as the basis for a History Channel documentary) and his memoirs Life's a Campaign. In his most recent book, The Hardball Handbook: How to Win at Life, Matthews demonstrates what we can learn from the world’s most accomplished people and, more important, how to emulate their best habits to improve our own lives.
