That tickled me too, but Chris Matthews doesn't usually do
these "Today Show" type of performer interviews. He usually
does political commentary, discussion and interviews on
NBC's cable stations CNBC and MSNBC. So I cut him a little
slack, as he clearly seemed like a fish out of water on the
Today Show! But I liked it when he said his son is a
tenor.
