MSNBC's Chris Matthews is back in Washington for Hardball, but he began his day in New York, guesting on Morning Joe, sans Scarborough. As Willie Geist and Mika Brzezinski were thanking Chris for his appearance he jumped in and gave a classic Matthews yelp.

This is the greatest show in the morning. This is better than Imus! Haaaa.

Matthews often appeared on Imus in the Morning, but this phone interview may have been the most memorable.

MSNBC's David Shuster who also guested on "Joe" this morning, at one point calling GOP Presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul a "crackpot." What's the Congressman think about that label? He'll be a guest on Morning Joe tomorrow at 7:30amET.
