LOL...how many people were watching his show nightly 3? I hope when comcast takes over all their programing will change for the better.

FOX news will soon be getting a lot of competition in the "Fair and Balanced" realm.

Not with O'Donnell in the 8pm time slot.

He's going up against O'Reilly? Bwaaaahaaaa!

Looking a DUmmieland one would think the world ended. It appears that Olberman’s Constitutional rights were violated by him losing his show on MSNBC. I can't find it anywhere in my copy.

I have some bad news leftists. Olberman having a show was totally in your power to decide. If enough of you watched, he would have the ratings and only a moron would shut him down. Also I can't speak for all Freepers but the ones I do know never put in an official complaint anywhere about Olberman. Most of us just ignored him.

Schultz will be next and then Maddow. Matthews will probably be last to go, but he will have to tone it down in the meantime. O’Donnell will never last in that slot.

Keith was very difficult when he worked in Los Angeles as a ‘sportscaster’.

Didn’t like him then.

Well dang it! I would have watched him if I’d known it was the last one. I’ve only ever seen YouTube clips of his dumbest moments. I could have enjoyed gloating for a whole hour (if that was the length of the show). Not very Christian, I know...probably just as well I missed it.

Just a programming note:

Sarah Palin is still standing.

I don’t think Comcast bought NBC to have another Air America fiasco.

On Cnn last night they said he got a 20 million buy out of his contract. That makes me ill.

Is Barnabas Collins as hot as I remember? He and Chekhov from Star Trek were my tween crushes.

That Olbermann was the most watched of MSNBC hosts tells you ALL you need to know about the network and the people who watch it.

The network said its 10 p.m. host Lawrence O'Donnell would move into Mr. Olbermann's 8 p.m. slot beginning on Monday.

No one will notice the different face, same spew.

I never actually watched Olbermann’s show. The only time I viewed him was in select video clips posted on FR and read his rantings when posted. I don’t care if MSNBC is a hotbed for left/liberal maniacs. It’s a free country.

I hope they hire Lester Holt.

Yeah, he's a liberal, but a decent sort and deserving.

Oh don’t worry, he’ll get a radio gig... if Allen Colmes can get a gig and stay on, Olberman can too... However, it makes me wonder if the “New Speech Code” codified by the left is having unintended consequences for their own.

Na he is going to do a sirus/xm show like Dr. Laura so no one can tell him what to say. I can’t imagine his ratings will do well, but XM won’t care!
