To fill its upcoming Rachel Maddow void, MSNBC almost took a time machine back to the good old days of 2011.
Keith Olbermann, who shaped the network’s liberal voice before being canned more than a decade ago, was in lengthy discussions with NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell and news boss Cesar Conde to return to MSNBC and take over the key 9 p.m. time slot, the former Countdown host told Source Material.
Ahh, those were the days when Ann Coulter would humiliate Olbermann on a weekly basis.
Back when Ann was still Ann and Olbermann wasn't quite the pathetic nobody he is now.
Olbermann will eventually weasel his way back on the air. His vanity and delusions of grandeur guarantee it.
Is Keith even on Youtube anymore ? Animal advocacy will only take you so far unfortunately.
Bringing Keith Olberman back might be fun, how often do you get to see a completely insane person who constantly meltdown on live TV sort of like going to the zoo and watching monkeys run around
So...the person you’re replacing, because her numbers are in the tank, has veto authority over who you hire to replace her?
Only in America!
He’s not hysterical enough? Once said something only partially negative about a conservative? Has male genetalia? Has female genetalia? Opposed to torturing small animals? There’s gotta be a reason.
But any dream of an Olbermann reunion was squashed when Maddow—who recently signed a massive $30 million deal to work less and transition out of her nightly broadcast—stepped in to personally veto him as her successor.

A woke network like MSNBC would never replace a lesbian with an old white guy.
Please, Please, Please do this.
You realize she came to that meeting with a couple of trump cards, right? First...she’s female. Second...she’s gay. Third...there’s that Adam’s Apple.
Maddow is making $30 million? Propaganda for the Establishment pays well.
Oh yeah...perfect for MSNBC....they could go get Chrissy Wall-ass from CNN too and increase their speed to the bottom!
Back in the days when Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge weren’t taking money from George Soros. /spit
30 million? Does that mean MSNBC is paying like $13 per viewer? (2.3 million per episode.)
This is the same situation in almost every company in the U.S.
Managers in particular control who they hire and will intentionally not hire anyone who could replace them. Scott Adams, who writes 'Dilbert' has entire chapters based on it.
I think PSTUPID and madcow are going to change places.
Yes she can play both the vagina card and the homo card. I wonder how much traction she would have against a straight, black male or female?
Not much methinks.
“This is the same situation in almost every company in the U.S.”
I don’t doubt it one bit.
“Managers in particular control who they hire and will intentionally not hire anyone who could replace them. Scott Adams, who writes ‘Dilbert’ has entire chapters based on it.”
Some of the best grocery store managers I ever met were guys that hired with an eye toward promoting people. They all said their stores could be the best in the business but if they weren’t producing potential managers or supervisors then they were failing their hires and their companies.
I’ve met a good number of people like that but they were definitely in the minority. I’ve met some who actually stabbed better managers in the back to retain their positions.
Scott Adams is usually right on the money.
