MSNBC's Chris Matthews' made his long-awaited return to The Ellen DeGeneres Show yesterday, and unlike last time, there was no inadvertent groping. Instead, Matthews' was hands off and dance-free — until DeGeneres went in for the hug. "Thank you for being a good sport," she said.



• As for the real interview, Matthews talked Sen. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, the Bush administration, and he and DeGeneres toasted to President-elect Barack Obama's victory.
