What has become of Chris Matthews?

Steve Kornacki has been subbing for him on Hairball for quite awhile now. Both of them are pretty irritating, though in different ways; but is Kornacki going to go away soon so I can be irritated by Matthews?

I hope Chris is ok but I've been past ready for him to be replaced on MSNBC.

Matthews takes these European vacations ... he's 73 years old and has been with MSNBC since 1997.
I suppose he has earned at least a couple weeks off now and then.

Maybe because I get so annoyed by Kornacki. But when Matthews comes back I can get annoyed by him again. (Yes, I know; don't watch Hairball.)

His delivery style is extremely irritating and annoying, for me, at least. Some people may like him, however.
