              Keith, Keith, Keith... why did you have to go and mess up another one of your shows with your bridge-burning stunts? Come on man- your commentary is intelligent and thought-provoking but is all this ego-tripping of yours really necessary or productive?

                John O Oh come on now. Hyatt is no choir boy but he's not the demon Olbermann and his lawyer are apparently making him out to be. Olbermann was brought in, in part to help revitalize the Current brand. He didn't. Ratings were abysmal and Keith's frequent absences, apparent refusal to do promos and continued friction with staffers, just like at MSNBC and ESPN were a big part of this.

                Believe me- I have been a big fan of Keith's shows, his excellent commentary and perspective. However, if even half the amateurish, ego-manical, prima donna stuff that has been reported about his strained relationships with the networks he's worked for is true, Keith has to look in the mirror before he and his attorney start pointing fingers.

                KimyMorrisonZeamer @john_olsen I agree but it is with a very heavy heart! Personally I believe that at this point the only avenue that Olbermann has yet to alienate, and the only one that may prove to revitalize his floundering career would be a pod cast. (sighs and tosses a single rose into the raising flames of what was one "Countdown with Keith Olbermann") <3 Good night and good luck. <3

                John O I wish Keith all the best- I have been a loyal viewer of his shows since Countdown first began on MSNBC. He is incredibly gifted and articulate and will land on his feet again. It is just frustrating because it didn't have to be this way imho, and there are all too few progressive voices of reason like him out there.

              Was so excited when Countdown was back on the air, disappointed when Keith was scarcely on the show and now heavy-hearted knowing it's over. I really loved Countdown.

                obituary mambo I'm going to wait ans see. I think he deserves a shot given his support of the Occupy movement. Here's hoping his coverage is close to as good as Keith's was.

                bill baxter Olbermann on celebrity boxing -- that's a big money idea. Actually a little stoked by this situation -- didn't have any access to this 'current tv', haven't seen a single episode since he made the move. Would be great for me if somebody picked his show up, but you're right, the pattern suggests against it.

                John Olsen Keith is brilliant but he's always been a prima donna with a big ego. He was fired by ESPN and MSNBC before going to Current TV. He's still blaming it on the network though and now he is expected to file a huge lawsuit against Current & Al Gore to try and recoup the rest of his over-inflated contract.
                Don't get me wrong- I like Keith's commentary but third time in a row- I think he's gotta look in the mirror.

              I don't usually pay much attention to TMO, but the Occupeep diorama was beyond amazing. I have to side with Spitzer, though: the Romney family road trip, complete with Seamus strapped to the top of the car, is my favorite.
