Chris Matthews is an overbearing jerk. But to his credit, he was willing to acknowledge that fact and make fun of himself on Sunday’s “Family Guy.” On Fox TV, no less.
(The Matthews bit takes place in the first two minutes of this video clip.)
Brian Griffin (the talking dog): See, I knew it was just a matter of time before somebody would recognize my genius.
Stewie Griffin: Whoa. Take it easy. You’re getting a bigger head than Chris Matthews.
Chris Matthews: The economy’s in the news today, and Congress is considering a minimum wage increase. Live by satellite to talk about, Sen. Harry Reid in Washington. How about it, Sen. Reid, is this the right move during the worst recession since the 1930s?
Harry Reid: Look, if we’re going to get this economy back on track, we have to get more money in the pockets of hard working…

Kurtwood Smith: Good, thanks for having me.
“Me,” Matthews said to his wife at dinner. “Fox wanted me. Not Olbermann. Not Maddow. Me. I’m relevant. I’m somebody. Even if nobody watches me.”
