MSNBC has signed Chris Matthews to a new, long-term contract with the channel, TVNewser has learned.

As part of the new deal, however, he will be ending “The Chris Matthews Show,” a syndicated public affairs show produced out of the NBC News DC bureau. The final edition of the program will air July 21. The half-hour show typically aired on Sunday mornings, though not every local market carried it. The show has been produced by NBC since 2002.

Tingles’ new contract is incentive laden. He’ll get $100 everytime he accuses a white person of racism.

According to the article above Matthews doubled his audience. MSNBC had their best ever months recently. It hardly seems possible. But stranger things have happened...let’s see, in 1320 it rained herring in Balonia, Italy. So, I guess anything’s possible.

I hear that he got a million dollar contract. A dollar a year for a million years.

We'll pay you to stop hosting that show?

I've thought about that, myself.

Still wouldn't watch MSLSD unless they paid me. And even then, they couldn't afford me.
