Chris Matthews Debuts New Hairdo

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.

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

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

HuffPost should be ashamed of itself.

HOW IS THIS NEWS? What are you becoming?

[Prism]

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

[Scarllatti]

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

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

He's just as smarmy and obnoxious as ever.

Irish Rose.

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

[JScott]

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)

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!!

This is news? seriously.

[nolalily]

"you're so vain..." Anyway, he's better as a tow-head. Obviously Chris feels the need to reinvent himself right now. Wonder why?

[ratcityreprobate]

Looks like it is more than hair color. His face has lost a lot of lines. Botox? A face lift? Maybe his vanity just swelled up to fill out all those wrinkles.

John McCain must have told Chris Matthews that was his favorite color.

[SinisterDan]

I think that his hair is supposed to match the 'Hardball' banner at the bottom of the frame.

"Old pumpkin" leaps to mind as a brand name for the color or perhaps "burnt butternut squash".

Definitely a gourd of some kind.

He's in a mid-life crisis. I think he used "Just For Men". My husband did the same thing. He had silver hair that turned orange. It was SO embarrassing. It took MONTHS to wash it out.

Chris, Chris, Chris.....wyh'd you let the hairdresser talk you into this? Go back to your real color...you're a bigger man than this.
