The Chris Matthews Show was a half-hour weekend news and political round table program produced by NBC News. It was taped in Washington, D.C., and nationally syndicated by NBCUniversal Television Distribution. The program debuted on September 22, 2002 and its final episode aired July 21, 2013.
The program usually aired on Sunday mornings before or after the Sunday morning talk shows, usually on NBC affiliates, CW affiliates or their sister stations
The Chris Matthews Show also aired on WB affiliates from 2002 to 2006.
Chris Matthews served as the program’s moderator and was joined each week by a rotating group of four journalists. Either Andrea Mitchell or Chuck Todd, both of NBC News, would occasionally sit in for him.
Although Matthews was also the host of MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, the two programs shared no common staff outside of Matthews or editorial input, besides being recorded at NBC’s Washington facility. The program converted to a high-definition presentation in April 2013.
On April 30, 2013, Matthews announced he would end the show to focus more on Hardball and writing books. The last show aired July 21.[1]
