Olbermann already worn out his welcome with Al Gore’s Current TV?

Where’s Waldo Keith? Has Olbermann already worn out his welcome with Al Gore’s Current TV? The NY Times said KO will be conspicuously missing from Current TV’s upcoming election coverage. Apparently the network didn’t even bother to tell Keith his show is being pre-empted Tuesday by its Iowa caucus specials. Sounds like he’s gone from Murrow to burrow.

  • Damn that didn't take long for Keith to wear out his welcome with Albert (snore) Gore.

    Guess its to the unemployment line for Keith and he better hope that he finds something before his 99 weeks runs out.

    • Don't worry about BathTubBoy, he was making about $8million per at NBC/MSNBC/GE, & was paid about $10million to leave. He will be fine as far as money goes. His state of mental health is another matter. Since his ratings have been lacking for a long time at both MSNBC & CurrentTV, he is seeing that he does not matter. THAT is what bothers him. Plus since he burn bridges EVERYWHERE he has worked, he's running out of options. But he could do what Glenn Beck is doing, but he's not smart enough. Olbermann seems to be like Beck in that they don't work want to work inside the traditional system, but Olby needs the system as a vehicle to be out there. Beck built his own vehicle, & it will be the model of how many will be informed & entertained. Besides, if Olby tried doing what Beck is doing, he would have much time to watch baseball, & that's really the only thing BathTubBoy should be talking about.

  • "Olberman's MSNBC audience however, in large part, failed to follow him to his new show". How large, 20-25 people?
