Chris Matthew's much-anticipated return to "Ellen" aired Thursday, and he made sure to be careful on his walk out.

After being introduced with a montage reminsicent of a horror film, in which Ellen recalled his previous visit — which ended with Matthews groping her and throwing her to the floor in an attempt at a dance move — Matthews came out with his hands up and avoided Ellen's attempts to dance with him.

"You fell, I tried to save you, it didn't do any good," Matthews said, and he suggested that the two of them should take Jitterbug lessons together.

"We should join 'Dancing with the Stars,'" Ellen said.

"In your case, it's 'Dancing with the Scars!'" Matthews joked back.

Ellen thanked Matthews for being such a good sport throughout her countdown to his return, calling Matthews "a really good man."

For the last week, Ellen has had fun counting down to Matthews' return, displaying grope-proof bras, trying out a Chris Matthews force field, and hosting a self defense expert. View all the videos at the links below.

Again, again, we must have our alma mater here-bear w/ me, but This Is So Much Fun. Here we go:

Chris--say it with me now-cuz you KNOW you're gonna have to many many times over these next few years. Ready? Here we go:

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Sounds good, doesn't it? Need some more practice? Okay let's try again---Secretary of State Clinton. Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton. Works good doesn't it? Okay now you'll wanna work on this one too, just to be on the safe side-ready? here we go-"Senator Bill Clinton-"

Makes ya feel good, doesn't it Chris? I knew it would.

That attempt at dancing with Ellen was the most uncoordinated, clumsy, goober-like effort I have seen a member of species Homosapiens make---ever. He should have been severely punished and sentenced to Gitmo shortly after the outrage occurred.---------Other than that I have no complaints.

It's great that Ellen could have fun with the situation but it would have been great if Matthews had apologized.

provgrays...

Apologize for what??? If a female stumbles, do NOT attempt to catch them, because if one misses, it's Groping??? Ellen was having fun with the Chris Matthews return visit all week... I'm NOT a big Matthews fan, but KUDO's to Chris for being a really good sport...

Stop Chris Matthews.... NO Chris Matthews...... Fun and funny routine....

Matthews clearly groped Ellen during that first appearance. He may have been trying to steady her, but you don't clutch a woman's chest. I know you'll disagree and the incident is long past, but Matthews behavior was clearly inappropriate.

Nobody wants to see him shaking his saggy old butt anyhow.

I also think Chris was a GREAT SPORT. This was funny!

Chris is a great sport. Sure he can be obnoxious sometimes, but he's smart, patriotic, good hearted, and his passion stokes his viewers' passion as well.

This was very funny and a mature way to have fun!

I like Ellen, but I don't watch her show, her lead up bits to Chris was creative and hilarious!

The slow motion part is really enchanting--watched like 10 times:)

Chris Matthews is really coming into his own. In his current very frank excitement over the Obama win and his loosening up in a funny way on the talk shows, he has certainly won me over as a fan.
