Keith Olbermann Suspends ‘Worst Persons’ Segment Until Further Notice

Thats because he realized he was on top of the list!

Besides his cat , who cares ?

Stewart’s first tangible “reward”. Stewart – 1, Beckerhead – 0.

Sounds like Keith had a moment of sanity.

“between HE and his political opponents”

What the hell?!

You’re kidding right?

He talks a little shit on twitter but when it’s his big chance to take Stewart on mr. big talk…punts?

King, shouldn’t that be Stewart -1, Olbermann- 0?

Liberals are reasonable and rational people unlike…

Hey Olbermann,

“Now go get your shine box” (Goodfella’s)…and take care of Stewart’s shoes!

Who cares…

I hope Beck steals worst person in the world, and names Olbermann as the first winner.

All you rightists. You talked about it every day. I always found the segment inane.

All the haters will be here in a minute.

Great! I always hated that segment.

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my short time here! Thank you very much for the dose of humor.

Ted, why are you signed in as TRRK tonight? I thought you use TRRK before dinner, and Ted in the evening hours?

Heeeeere’s Johnny! (And I really do hate the King, Fux News, and Ted.)

The Real Royal King said:

And you, the King of Brainstems, are here to lead the pack!!

Finch, the King also goes by Iris. He gets confused.

Hey Keith,
Why don’t you interview Hillary in lieu of Worst Person, and ask her if she holds any resentment that the Professional Left Media gave this guy in the White House HER PRESIDENCY!

LOL!

BlackWidow said:

Really?? How can you hate someone so pathetic??? Really!

King, isn’t it a conflict of interest for you to be commenting on this thread?

“”Long time fans of Countdown may have been disappointed to learn tonight that one of the franchise segments “Worst Persons” is no longer – at least for the time being.”"

Countdown has long time fans????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

You’re confusing me with some FOX “News” commentator.

The King is wearing earrings in his video. They go with the Obama hat. That’s why the King is always critiquing fashions on here. He’s another Bruno.

What the hell?!

glad I wasn’t the only one to notice this. Colby probably also thinks “between you and I” is grammatical.

back to the topic: I watched a bit of Olby tonite and noticed that it seemed like his meds were finally working or something. I didn’t put it together with the Stewart rally but yeah, if that’s the only thing that comes out of it, that’s enough to make me say THANK YOU COMEDY CENTRAL!

You’re confusing me with some FOX “News” commentator.

No, I don’t think so Keith.

The Real Royal King said:

Uh…I believe it is Stewart – 1, Olbermann – 0

Because now Olbermann is going to TRY not to be negative…uh his show is BUILT on being negative…so good luck with that Olbermann…it won’t last long.

Don’t worry Ruth, no way he can hold it together more than a day or two.

Too bad he isn’t suspending the rest of his show until further notice,I guess he didn’t want to disappoint the 4 or 5 still watching it.

I hope the GOP wins big for the simgle reason that it might cause Olbermann’s over inflated head to explode.

He got called out, threw a fit in the TUB while he twitted away all weekend and then, dumped an insane segment called, get this “Worst person in the World”.

Seriously, he had a spot on his show dedicated to the worst person in the world ? People actually had respect for someone who declared other people, the worst?

No wonder this maniac is ridiculed.

Is Keith still going to say about Sarah Palin…”That woman is an IDIOT!”?

Still not gonna watch.

People actually had respect for someone who declared other people, the worst?

No, they didn’t.

lol..I agree. Oblermann’s show is based on vicious personal attacks, partisan juvenile swipes, snide innuendos against anyone he disagrees with and that makes up 90% of his show.

Watch…I bet he won’t last A COUPLE OF DAYS before he loses it and goes back to his usual trade of personal attacks and vicious sophomoric humor, because that is what makes Olbermann…well, Obermann.

Ninety percent of the time, his worst person was O’Reilly. Just made Keith look like a petulant child.

Yep

“…regardless of where one finds him or herself on the political spectrum, he should be laughed at.”

There I fixed it.

Olby accused Stewart of jumping a small shark, so he had to out do Jon and jump a bigger shark.
That’s all it is.

smart move here by Keith “Lights Out” Olbermann. if he takes out the spectacle comment too, he might actually be taken seriously outside of kosland.

It wasn’t a big pile of dog sh*t that Jon Stewart rubbed your nose in …apparently it worked though .

le Olbermann twitter feed.

King, you always refuse to answer any questions.

Imagine Olbermann sitting there…with beads of sweat coming down his forehead, as he stumbles trying to read the news as his hands shake uncontrollably just wanting to burst out to his usual hateful sophomoric self.

I give it two days tops.

Colby Hall said: What Olbermann announced was remarkably sane, and regardless of where one finds him or herself on the political spectrum, he should be lauded.

So let me get this straight. Olbermann’s been an asshole for a decade or so now. But since he got badgered, against his will mind you, into being 1% less of an asshole, he should be lauded?

Bullshit.

HE ALSO VOWED NEVER TO MENTION BILL O’REILLY BY NAME AFTER GEORGE TILLER THE BABY KILLER DIED..

That lasted a couple weeks.

Keith is clinically INSANE and a LIAR.

worse person originated from a george carlin joke—that by the process of ranking, there truly had to be, somewhere, the worst doctor in the world. More terrifying still, he noted, “somebody has an appointment to see him tomorrow!”
i’m sad to see it go.

Jews. Is there anything they can’t do?

“Oh, and it’s probably more than just a coincidence that Jon Stewart held up Olbermann as an example of the divisive nature of cable news.”

Yes, ‘Oh.’

Somewhere, the Democratic Media is getting ready to lecture us all about the Temper Tantrum we’re about to throw!

Jon Stewart >Keif Olbermann

You just got served and pwned Olbermann.

Yawn…..

Now if he’ll just suspend the rest of the show

Is Krazy Keith gonna stop throwing papers on the floor and apologize to the lowly staff member that has to pick them up each night???

Aqua Buddha willing!

Oh, and it’s probably more than just a coincidence that Jon Stewart held up Olbermann as an example of the divisive nature of cable news (among many others) during the Rally to Restore Sanity.”

Yes, poor bath-boy got his diapers in a bunch and had to spew out his predictable hate.

Now if MSNBC could just suspend his show until further notice!

It’s appropriate that the penultimate to his head exploding tomorrow night would be to discontinue the worst minute in television.

Bye Bye Keith. It’s been real.

It can’t be news that the “worst person” was divisive. Actually one doesn’t need to see the segment because he generally rotates the names, only the reason changes. There are blogs that talk about his show, with his ego I am sure he knows not all American’s are fond of him. It was great to watch Sunday pre game show now that he is not affiated.

Keith loves to be angry, it is his brand, he doesn’t want civility. Will Schultz stop psycho talk, let’s see others at the network step up. Pinheads or patriots is silly but the items he sells as a result of that goes to various charities to include our military, so I mute the channel.

I am not a fan of using degrading words to describe someone, I have my issues with FOX and CNN and I will surf into Keith’s show, he has an hour to discuss anything, but it is predictable.

I wonder with new ownership, what changes will happen with the network. Just recently I read that Brian Williams doesn’t want to be associated with the cable network. More is going on than what we see.

Hmm I guess KO was finally told his hate mongering was to much, and he was inciting to much violence with his hate speech, he is such an angry fellow…. I love using his style of comments to make fun of him.. Hmm back to margaritas!

If you don’t like his show then don’t watch it. And if you say you don’t ever watch it, then why does it bother you so much.

Hey Hugo, guess which of your neighbors is gonna be getting a whole lot of cash & arms to hold you off and undermine your regime?
Hops & Change really is coming!

But if Olbermann gets rid of the anger, what’s left? There’s certainly no intellectual dialogue and debate, since Olbermann runs and hides from those with dissenting views and has always surrounded himself with bootlickers who parrot his every opinion. Countdown has always been about angry rants and it’s not clear Olbermann is capable of any other approach.

No, you’re wrong Colby, Olbermann DID “cave.” Had he dispensed with the Worst Person segment months ago, unprompted, I would have applauded. But not now.

It would be nice if your side could see that Glenn Beck is also about angry rants and lack of dissent.

But alas…

Real John t: “if you don’t like his show then don’t watch it. And if you say you don’t ever watch it, then why does it bother you so much.”

Because my 90 year old Grandmother watches it nightly, then I get to listen to her sweet soul regurgitate his crap. That is why it bothers me so much. And “bothers me” is putting it very mildly.

Then change the subject of the conversation. That’s one lame ass excuse.

In another Olbermann related story Olbermann’s ratings Friday were 1.066 in prime time 8pm, and Bill O’Reilly’s was 3.242 at the same time.

O’Reilly’s numbers for his repeat 11pm show were 1.527 beating out Olbermann’s prime time slot.

O’Reilly’s combined Demo numbers were larger than Olbermann’s total viewers.

Glenn Beck’s 2pm Pacific time, 5pm Eastern had a total of 2.381 beating out Olbermann’s 8pm prime time numbers.

NewsBusters? Hell you might as well link to something from FreeRepublic or FoxNation while you’re at it.

It’s ironic how everyone commenting here bitches and moans about Olbermann being hateful and angry… while they make hateful and angry comments about him. But, you wouldn’t expect a bunch of clowns who watch Fox News and idolize Glenn Beck to not notice irony.

And if Keith’s show is so irrelevant and unimportant to them, why do they complain about what he does? JUST DON’T WATCH! Why waste your time complaining about a show that you claim doesn’t get ratings?

ProgLib said:

That sounds hateful and angry, ProgLib. Way to throw stones. As for me, Olbermann is too dumb to hate, and I don’t watch his show. But I might tomorrow, just for the lulz.

Media critics are certain to predictably say that Olbermann somehow caved to Stewart’s critique, but that would miss the point entirely. What Olbermann announced was remarkably sane, and regardless of where one finds him or herself on the political spectrum, he should be lauded.

More likely, he’s recognizing that the light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train.

@dandmb50 – What he should do is “suspend” his whole show, nobody is watching anyway. Even on a 2 min clip he is so ANGRY.

Obama’s victory in 2008 ‘was really impressive,’ too, using your turn of phrase. Actually, it was strictly an ‘anti-Bush vote’ that put him in the White House. After all, it’s that logic that Libs are using today to ‘rationalize’ what will happen today.

Hey Keith,
How long did it take you to capitulate to Stewart, and obediently drop your popular trademark segment?
How much crow did you have to swallow on that one, Keith?

Are you just gonna’ take that lying down, and let progressive orthodoxy just whimper away?

Wow…an angry liberal! There goes the whole “lizard brain” argument against the “angry right..”

If KO suspends the Worse Person segment, will it make a noise?

The Special Comment is dumber than WPITW if that is at all
possible.
O’Reilly and Beck laughimg their asses off.
You can’t make this up…LOL

I guess his “special komment” stuff isn’t too far behind then. Furthermore, I don’t think KO’s ego ill allow himself to get rid of WPITW completely – he will just replace it with something else. He is gonna attack O’Reilly for his comment last night, wait for it.

Mmmmm, I don’t know. Calling people for saying and doing universally deplorable things isn’t a divisive, left/right issue. I think the segment is fine. The fact that right wingers tend to appear on the lost more often says more about them than it does Olbermann.

I’m glad after 2 or 3 ignorant tweets attacking Stewart’s perfectly reasonable argument about cable news, I’m glad he appears to have gotten it. I say “appears” because I think the repetitive use of WE in his statement means his staff gets it more than he does.

But seriously, Colby Hall, he should be lauded for this? For missing the point and than quasi getting the point?? No, he shouldn’t get a gold star for this.

“What Olbermann announced was remarkably sane, and regardless of where one finds him or herself on the political spectrum, he should be lauded.”

Yes, I agree.

The anger you see here from some-directed at the host of tv’s best show, Keith Olbermann-is validation that he, unlike Stewart, will NEVER be guilty of Stockholm syndrome. When Stewart mixed MSNBC ROYALTY in the mix with the gutter rats from focks, he was guilty as charged of the aforementioned syndrome. I hope Stewart ends up having to rename his show ‘The Faily Show’. You screwed up Jon, and the gargoyles on the right are indeed laughing at you…but not the way you are accustomed to being laughed at.
Idiot.

Um, no. Not at all.

Keith wins the bigger man contest…again. Of course, when the other ‘man’ is the republican party (or Yawn Stewart)…well…a midget with no legs could win that one. (A short midget…with short stumps…in quicksand).

Are there any photos of Keith where he doesn’t look like he’s passing a kidney stone?

Who gives a fuck about Keith Olbermann?

SWWT said:
You’re kidding right?

of course he’s kidding. i think the king kids about most things. he can’t really believe what he writes.

I’m late to this party, but I will go ahead and commend him on this. Olbermann got called out. First, he was angry, so he wrote that tweet, then he reflected on it, and decided that perhaps steps should be taken to “better” himself. Kind of fascinated that he would do that. Don’t think there is anyone else on right now who would do this. Doesn’t help ratings (After all, as someone pointed out earlier, it’s the negative that attracts his audience, the same as O’Reilly, thus this isn’t going to help things.). He’s doing the right thing, believe it or not and he’s probably going to have his feet held to the fire (see the previous 100 or so comments) because of it. You wouldn’t see Ed Schultz or Dylan Ratigan doing this. Possibly Chris Matthews. You certainly won’t see Hannity or O’Reilly. I hope it succeeds though, because this is the kind of steps that need to be taken to get political discourse away from the negative and focused on finding solutions.

that was my favorite part of the show. if we don’t call out some of the vile things informed of in Worst Persons segment, people will become complacent about things such as making fun of suicidal gay teens, lying OPENLY while running for office and more.

Fox News NEEDS a fact checker! I consider MSNBC my news fact checker, esp. Olbermann, Maddow & now Lawrence O’Donnell

But alas…

Glenn Beck is one of the least mean-spirited people on TV. His rally had a very positive message. When he gets passionate, it is about the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. To compare him with angry and spiteful Keith Olbermann is ridiculous.
