Chris matthews tv host quits with apology for compliments

I think there may be some confusion here!

Chris Matthews is an American television host, author, and political commentator who has been hosting the MSNBC show "Hardball with Chris Matthews" since 1996. However, I couldn't find any information about him quitting his show with an apology for compliments.

It's possible that you may be thinking of a different TV host or personality who made a statement or announcement about quitting their show or apologizing for something. If you could provide more context or clarify what you're referring to, I'd be happy to try and help you further!
