"Where’s that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me?" he said in leaked audio published by 'New York' magazine. MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews has apologized for making an inappropriate joke about Bill Cosby before an interview with then-candidate Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail in January 2016.
"Can I have some of the queen's waters? Precious waters?" Matthews is heard and shown saying in a clip obtained and published by New York magazine's The Cut on Friday.
In the clip, Matthews then asks: "Where’s that Bill Cosby pill I brought with me?" (His crew looks visibly uncomfortable, and a man puts his hand over his face.)
"This was a terrible comment I made in poor taste during the height of the Bill Cosby headlines," Matthews told the magazine in response. "I realize that's no excuse. I deeply regret it and I'm sorry."
Asked whether MSNBC has a statement about the joke, a network spokeswoman referred The Hollywood Reporter to his comments in the magazine.
The story does not say how the audio and video were obtained. In September, Mediaite published leaked video showing MSNBC anchor Lawrence O'Donnell melting down on set during breaks on his show. An NBC employee reportedly was fired over the leak.
MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes, in an interview with THR a week later, said it was "pretty messed up" that the O'Donnell video was leaked to the press. "It's a space that we're all sort of trusting each other in," he said.
In mid-December, it was reported that Matthews was reprimanded after an employee complained about his behavior in 1999.
Ah, so the thrills up his leg are drug-induced.
So Matthews jokes about drugging Hillary so he can sexually assault ?
He is one sick dude.
As a card carrying Marxist he can get away with this.

Ah yes, Chris. Privacy for thee and colleagues.
But be sure to tape and selectively edit private remarks or conversations by your political enemies, for broadcast on your Top Notch “news” program
Hey, can you blame a hit man for not shooting at his own head?
I don't know. Sounds pretty serious.
I'm gonna say "sorry's nice, but he's gotta go".

So it’s ok to leak damaging things in the media as long as they damage Trump??? I’m sure these liberal idiots were thrilled at the “pussy” tape with Trump, and are currently in meltdown mode over the “s*ithole country” remarks attributed to Trump.
So Trump saying things privately and leaking those are ok, but the media moguls saying indefensible things in private, well, in that case, we are supposed to condemn that anyone would leak comments made in private.
Got it. Liberals want it both ways.
thats what i was gonna say- he wishes he could do Hillary? Thats crazy talk!!!
I don’t understand what he said. He’s making jokes that he wants to drug Hillary and have sex with her? I knew he was a crazed drunk but this is rid’clous!
Libtards are such lying hypocritical frauds. There must be tons of such remarks on MSM hard drives and tapes from over many years. We need a conservative “whistle blower” organization to offer large reward sums for media types to turn over embarrassing recordings. Make it worth the effort and risk for some production folks to review the archives and turn over the goods. The public deserves to know!!!!
So, the Cos still has an audience, comprised of angry, leftist alcoholics.
Good point.
And what ever happened to Billy Bush, the dude who had made that Access Hollywood secret tape of Trump talking of “pussy”? I heard that he got fired from the Today Show. Some reward he got, for attempting to take down Trump.
Kissing Hillary’s butt will be going out of fashion soon... Here’s what we know: if Chris Matthews had said the same about Trump there would NOT BE ANY OBJECTION.
THE DOUBLE STANDARD WOULD HOLD.
Go away liberals and take your corruption with you...
“”””thats what i was gonna say- he wishes he could do Hillary? Thats crazy talk!!!””””””
MEGA MEGA MEGA PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has the bottle let Chris down....again?
Can we even imagine had Trump made that joke? It would be a wall-to-wall assault as normal for these same despicable press and Dems.
I am so sick of all this I can barely stand to turn on my TV anymore. Yet the truly idiotic nonthinkers keep getting a pass.
i can’t wrap my head around this. there is something wrong with you, Chris Matthews.
Don’t be surprised if BOTH Harvey Weinstein and
Bill Cosby are both welcomed back into ‘polite society’ within the next three or four years. That is my prediction.
Weinstein is not that old, but Cosby is about 80.
Today’s older people are often quite engaged in the world around them. Far different than the stereotype. This becomes more likely when that older person is wealthy and controversial. Just look at both Hillary and Donald Trump.
Think of the energy it took to survive that Election Year!!
Both sides were impressive for that reason.
