Longtime MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews announced he is retiring at the top of his program, “Hardball,” on Monday night after which he abruptly disappeared off camera in a commercial break.

“I’m retiring. This is the last ‘Hardball’ on MSNBC, and obviously this isn’t for lack of interest in politics,” the 74-year-old told viewers during the top of the show.
