MSNBC host Chris Matthews took to the airwaves Thursday night with a new 'do. The normally bleach blond Matthews, host of "Hardball," now has noticeably darker hair. It's more of a russet/rusty coloration and is a bit shorter.

Below are 4 screengrabs. The first two are from Tuesday night, the second two are from today's - Thursday's - "Hardball." They are taken from the same television and same DVR machine onto the same computer.




Pick an adjective you would use to describe the color and leave it in the comments.

Hey, the guy wants to be a Senator! Everyone knows that voters like younger candidates better than older ones!

He wants to look young and virile instead of droopy and d**kless.

Too bad it didn't work.

Does the carpet match the drapes?

Sorry Tweety - the old one really was better.

Sorry Chris, still not setting off my gaydar.

Like 'lipstick on a pig'!!!

Not only did he sport a new hair color, the makeup artist got it all wrong with his one eyebrow - just a stroke of the pencil - how artificial looking. When does all this become unimportant??

Easy. It's Redacted Reddish Republican Revolting Rant-colored.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 02:07 AM on 05/10/2008

When women of a certain age choose that color, it's known as "menopause red."
He's probably on the blue pills already, too.

What would we do without the Huffington Post!

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 08:23 PM on 05/09/2008

his hair is as credible as his reporting

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 08:13 PM on 05/09/2008

He wants to look more like his big brother Russert. ;)
But he looks younger with it darker. The blond was almost a white on TV which adds years.

He still looks and sounds like "Tweetybird"...He is wearing me out!

BIG HEAD
BIG HAIR
BIG CLOWN...

It's news about as much as Katie Couric and Miley Syrus are news. I wish HuffPo would stick to news and politics and leave all the other stuff alone.

Come on. I'm a bit pissed Mathews is playing monkey business with the dem race sighting he wants this to go on and on, but to knock personal appearance is in poor taste. So what he colored his hair, most people on TV do and a great many men and women do outside of media do as well.

This is a fast was for the Huffington Post to start loosing credibility. Please remove the story.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 03:24 PM on 05/09/2008

Is this why anyone reads Huffpost? And why pick on Matthews when most of the cable news talking heads over 40 do exactly the same thing? (They do if they want to keep their jobs.) Or is Huffpost now going to be keeping score on the irrelevant grooming habits on all our fave on-air talent? If so, get ready for some amazing cellulite sunbathing photos of our Sunday morning talkshow hosts.

You can't say losing credibility if its already lost. Someone there has lost their sense of what is newsworthy. Now the site seems to cater to the most sophomoric of the comment writers. I could see a "rant and rave" section, but keep the news reporting front and center....and as pure as possible.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 06:09 PM on 05/09/2008

Get a grip, people...it's a career move. Television suits throw people under the bus over appearance all the time. "Old" and "Grey" doesn't sell ad dollars. Youth sells. We all want to forget that we're going to get old and gray one day...and probably look a whole lot worse than Matthews or Dobbs. So we make nasty comments about them, comments that we wouldn't want any of them to say about our Mother, or our Father...and definitely not about US!

That's why they dye their hair, whiten their teeth, get botox injections, and go on crash diets. They're just trying to keep their job.

I don't know. Blitzer's hair is pretty gray. I think MSNBC is trying to appeal to its "new" demo, and Matthews got caught looking too—somthing, not sure what. I actually think he looks better in the before pictures.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 07:42 AM on 05/10/2008

It's a natural progression - much like Lou Dobbs - going from blond to white to Tange.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 11:31 AM on 05/09/2008

Jeez, now he looks like Lawrence O'Donnell's brother.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 11:28 AM on 05/09/2008

HuffPost should be ashamed of itself.

HOW IS THIS NEWS? What are you becoming?

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 11:02 AM on 05/09/2008

Huff Po is beginning to make my brain hurt. WHO CARES?!!!

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 06:31 PM on 05/10/2008

Chris, how much did the hair-do cost? $400.00?, $500.00? I will need your referral.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:54 AM on 05/09/2008

Wanna go someplace where you'll NEVER have to read about Matthews OR his hair color? Go to:

I can't believe you referred someone to this blather site....

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 06:11 PM on 05/09/2008

Chris Matthews can change his hair color, but he can't change his personality.

He's just as smarmy and obnoxious as ever.

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:42 AM on 05/09/2008

Irish Rose.

P.S. Come on, Chris. This is silly. Go natural!

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:41 AM on 05/09/2008

Bout as bad as some newsmen folks 'bad' hairpieces-hey Dan Abrams u no hu we're talkin bout.
(altho his has gotten better-new gigs-more money-better hairpiece, even go for a decent hair transplant)

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:41 AM on 05/09/2008

Everytime I see Donald Trump and Lou Dobbs I cringe . So be careful Chris, I do not want to feel the same way about you, be honest with yourself and don't look so phony!!

replyReply favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:32 AM on 05/09/2008

This is news? seriously.
