Anybody else here miss Kieth Olbermann right now as much as I do?

[marble falls]

Just asking ...

[Armymedic88]

1. Not having KO

On Msnbc just doesn't feel right. I was and still is my favorite talk show host

[BSdetect]

2. The most erudite commentary.

[Bradshaw3]

3. No and I used to watch him every night

He was my favorite too and I had to watch his show more than any other. But he bailed for no good reason, as he has at about every job he has had. We didn't need him to quit when he did; he needed to stay and fight. I'm not going to place trust in him again.

[Funtatlaguy]

4. Yes. Great writer with a biting wit

[MyOwnPeace]

5. Yep, miss him.........

AND Jon Stewart!!

[Laffy Kat]

7. Yes, Jon!

[Hamlette]

16. I was going to add Jon. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

My strongest memory of Jon is him telling Fox to "go fuck yourself". Here at 3 minutes 7 seconds. Worth a watch.

And my all time favorite 2 minutes of TV and comedy ever

[Laffy Kat]

6. I was think about that last night.

I know KO had his problems, but I sure do want to hear from him now.

[trueblue2007]

8. yes i miss Keith. And ..... I MISS DAVID LETTERMAN

[donkeypoofed]

9. I miss him, too!

And ya gotta admit, his last Resistance video was spot-on!! I still miss those videos.

[Totally Tunsie]

10. I'd be thrilled to have Keith back.

His ups have been welcomed and his downs disappointing, but
I miss his wit and wisdom.

[Toorich]

11. Also ....

..... Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

[Mr.Bill]

32. +1

[Submariner]

12. George Carlin would loved to have been around for this

[bdamomma]

44. oh geez

I miss him too. He would of said I told you so!

[gibraltar72]

13. Yes I do miss him.

Very deep man and with righteous anger.

[Vinca]

14. Yes. He was great on MSNBC and drew a huge audience.

Guess he was cranky behind the scenes, but they should have overlooked it and kept him on.

[LyndaG]

15. Yes!

I follow him on Twitter. He's an advocate for animals, too. Good guy.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Back .Doing ,Features for ESPN

So probably means MSNBC is out
But, I know what you mean

[MLAA]

18. Yes, indeed

[flibbitygiblets]

19. Nope not really

Always seemed a bit too sanctimonious for my tastes. I watched him, but winced a lot.

[Mr. Sparkle]

20. On nights like tonight it would be like poetry. n/t

[Different Drummer]

21. I do miss Keith.

I watched him every night when he was on MSNBC and then followed him to Current.

[Volaris]

22. For sure. But, he called it a year ago. On his last GQ spot,

He said basicly, that NOW we know that Trump will be impeached/removed/indicted, and while it might be fun to keep doing this between now and then, it's also useless...cause NOW we know what's gonna happen.

The man called it a year ago.

[Pepsidog]

23. Kieth kept me sane during Bush years. My kids were raised by watching his special comments

[COLGATE4]

24. Big Time! I also miss Martin Bashir. nt

[leftofcool]

25. NO

[flyingfysh]

26. KO got Rachel Maddow on MSNBC

At first, she was doing stories for his show. She got moved to her own show (I think KO had something to do with that), and the rest is history.

[Rhiannon12866]

29. I remember the first time she subbed for Keith

I was already familiar with her from her Air America radio show. She started off very nervous and those of us on DU were watching in real time and rooting her on. By the end of the show, she had found her voice and the rest really is history. She's the one making headlines now, but she started with the support of KO. He was always must-see-TV.

[dewsgirl]

27. Yes, very much.

[tirebiter]

28. Baseball is the first priority

I want Olberman back with Jon Miller broadcasting baseball.

[Mike Rows His Boat]

30. Yes. But MSNBC has his former GF, Katy Tur, on daily. eom

[sellitman]

31. Please.

He is a sanctimonious loud mouth who can't work a job for more than a few weeks before he gets in trouble with everyone he had ever worked for. I love Rachel &; Lawrence the best.

[USALiberal]

37. A few weeks? Do more research. What an odd post. nt

[sellitman]

42. Not literally a few weeks.

Geez

[USALiberal]

47. 8 Years at MSNBC! Not weeks, not months, 8 years. nt

[Shoonra]

33. Maybe ask Maddow to help ....

On TV, at least, Rachel Maddow seemed very compatible with Keith. As the prime attraction on MSNBC, she can persuade the network producers to bring him back to the stable.
Please, please, please.

[trayfoot]

34. Keith

ABSOLUTELY MISS HIM!

[question everything]

35. Patiently taking his time to listen to his guests until they were done.

After all, he had a whole hour. As opposed to Matthews and, on occasions, others, who ask a question and immediately interrupt them.

[bluestarone]

36. YES i very much miss him

Watched him almost every night!!!

[njhoneybadger]

38. The best! MSNBC should put him on in the 11:00 slot

[marble falls]

40. Just give him a half hour like the show he did on Al Gore's network.

[Hoyt]

39. He helped me make it through bush years, but he got stale and started

demanding too much.

I would like those who enjoy him to have the opportunity to watch though.

[marble falls]

41. If for no other reason than this ...

[bdamomma]

43. Keith in many of his shows

warned us all. But we do need him more than ever.

[malaise]

45. Yes

I'd love him to weigh in

[marble falls]

46. Yep. Pure pleasure!

[Greybnk48]

48. I really miss the Countdown format too!

It was such a cool show. Fast, witty, and incredible informative. I loved it and always miss it.
