On Tuesday’s Tonight Snow, Chris Matthews joined Jay Leno to talk politics and the Middle East. Before predicting that Rudy Giuliani would be the next president of the United States, Matthews shared a story about playing Hardball with ambassadors from Israel and Syria.
“They both agreed they didn’t want to be seen together,” Matthews explained. Of course they wouldn’t appear on TV together — but they didn’t even want to “bump into each other in the hallways.” “So we [hid] the Israeli ambassador in a room” while the Syrian ambassador exited the studio, he said.
Leno reacted: “That’s like me and Letterman!”
