Developing: MSNBC is giving regular "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" fill-in host Lawrence O'Donnell the 10 p.m. hour, the network says.
O'Donnell will start developing the program immediately, though no format, title or start date has been set.
"Lawrence O'Donnell is an incredible talent, who our audience has gotten to know throughout the years, most recently as Keith Olbermann's principal guest host on 'Countdown.' It's great to have another anchor of his caliber on the network," said MSNBC president Phil Griffin in a statement. "This makes us a bigger and better network."
"I've had a part-time job at MSNBC for 14 years," said O'Donnell in a statement. "Now that the network and I have gotten to know each other, I'm thrilled to be going full time."
When O'Donnell's show starts, the 10 p.m. rerun of "Countdown" will move to 11 p.m..
The move is a surprising one, as MSNBC has said as recently as October that it was happy with how the "Countdown" repeats have bee performing at 10 p.m.
Still, both CNN and Fox News have originals at 10 p.m., so rumors of an expansion into that hour are nothing new to MSNBC.
Yep... As long as I live, I'll never forget crazed O'Donnell screaming "Creepy liar!" at the top of his lungs to Swiftboat Vet John O'Neill on live TV. Just incredible. LOL
Just one more reason NOT to watch PMS-NBC.
I was flipping channels and saw MSLSD rerunning a three year old story of china’s mcdonalds...anything but obama and the gulf...
My wife and I were watching that night, and to this day we still joke about it.
If we suspect someone is lying, we call them “creepy liar”.
Can’t stand that hater.
Sadly, Crazy Lying Larry will be the SANEST of the QUAD!!
He has hosted in the past. They are just recycling libs hostes now.
As I said...he will be the SANEST even though he’s as crazy as a LOON!
Thanks for the ping!
