Temple University is getting some national TV love at 5 pm today when MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews films a live episode of his nightly talk show, “Hardball with Chris Matthews” on Pollett Walk on Main Campus.

Matthews is set to interview congressman Joe Sestak (D), who is currently the democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate. Matthews has recently been on a college tour, where he has filmed episodes at various universities while he provides commentary on the upcoming Nov. 2 elections. Previous stops have included the University of Illinois-Chicago and Louisville.

In 2005, Matthews received the Law Klein Excellence in the Media Award from Temple’s School of Communications and Theater.
