Hey Keith,
What happened to the porn-stache and coke-bottle glasses?

It’s OK Pat. Everyone is entitled to one ridiculously colossal fuck up in their lifetime. This was yours.

Well, Vanna made up for it, Pat…

Pat Sajak said:
Keith tended to wear out his welcome at stations and networks, and he bounced around to several places before he found his niche at MSNBC. I’m not sure how he morphed into the bitter-sounding, hate-mongering name-caller he’s become, but I’m sorry he did.

He continually wore out his welcome at networks because so many co-workers found him to be a pretentious anus. The same is true at MSNBC, he just fits in a little better there.

Pat Sajak is solely responsible for Keith Olbermann’s current MSNBC show? Wow.

The FCO’s minions digging very deep (Pat Sajak… I thought he was dead?) for digs at Olberman. I’m beginning to think Keith had something to do with the FCO’s ouster at MSNBC??

Today’s other example of Olberman bias… Hillary B playfully noting O’Reilly’s “looks and hubris”, while touting Olbermann’s “ego” in yet another dig. Do you get a bonus (above minimum wage?) from the FCO for each Olbie dig?

Is Olby wearing on of those pairs of glasses with the nose and mustache attached ?

It does seem quite presumptuous and arrogant to take credit (or blame) for Olbermann’s success (or lack thereof, depending on personal opinion).

It was Sajak all along . . .

Ted Haggert wears his mustache.

Pat’s audience are all Octogenarians – what do you expect him to say? He’s conservative because his audience is on their death beds trying to cover their sinful and hateful lives as part of the hate and fear minions that represent the average Faux Viewer – no time – trying to buy their way into heaven.

He’s the only pundit out there that is willing to call out both the left and right when they do stupid ****

This country is so far down the tube is doesn’t even know it..

Oh but thanks to Pat Sajack, the weird looking guy from a show 20 years past it’s prime. Thanks Pat, for your political musings, you’re a genius! Why don’t you go back to being Vanna White’s ugly sidekick… and SPIN THE WHEEL!

“…in terms of current cultural relevance and influence, it does seem odd that a game show host would have the chutzpah to be critical of Mr. Olbermann. ”

I don’t know, what kind of ratings does Wheel get compared to Olby’s ratings? I have seen Pat on lots of shows over the last many years opining about several issues. I don’t find it odd at all; indeed, Olby may get press attention for his stunt and his vicious hateful commentary, but I don’t think he has much influence at all.

I wondered the same thing as Sajak. If you watched him on ESPN, he has morphed from sarcastic to mean-spirited and angry over time. Whereas Glenn Beck in the 90′s is markedly similar to Glenn Beck today.

You all need to get over the concept of this being Keith-bashing. Being honest is just being honest. He seemed to be trying to be kind in his wording.

“To Mr. Olbermann’s point, in terms of current cultural relevance and influence, it does seem odd that a game show host would have the chutzpah to be critical of Mr. Olbermann.”

This is so absurd I can’t even imagine the blindness it must take to say it. The only influence Olbermann has is to influence bitterness and hatred among people. So in that way, I suppose he out performs Sajak.

I suspect more people know who Sajak is than who know who Olbermann is. The few viewers that Olberman’s show attracts obviously includes writers here at Mediaiate, but hardly anyone else. As far as a success goes, I’m thinking Sajak’s bank account is something Olbermann dreams about, when he takes a moment from being hateful, to sleep.

Sajak, obviously much better know and I would guess that his show, yes a Game show, has a hell of a lot more relevance to more peoples lives than Bathtub boy will ever have.

NOW THIS: Keith attempts to deceive Americans with claims of NBC “News” political OPPONENT ignorance…he “just didn’t know who Gifford was running against” http://tinyurl.com/3364uwv and this is in addition to the $50,000 bribe

Olbermann’s influence on the national discord is that he is the first talk show host to openly and viciously go after his peers on other networks. When he started going after Bill O’Reilly it was a bit shocking to many of us in the industry. We never saw that before. But the far left loved it and his hate spread to others such as every single person in the world who doesn’t see the world as Olbermann sees it.

His name calling, vitriol and vile hatred has now become a part of who he is. The million viewers he has see that as normal discourse. You don’t agree with me. FU racist. The good thing is the other networks didn’t follow suit. Thats why MSNBC is known as a gutter network where NBC personnel try so hard not to be associated.

Damn have to say, Olbermann sure does love twitter. Wonder who he fired or didn’t hire that allows him to speak to the world in characters, why bother unless this was just one huge publicity stunt.

The Wheel Vs. The Squeal. Compelling.

Please. Don’t be ridiculous. You could multiply Olbermann by 10 and still not get the level of bitterness and name calling perpetrated by BECK. What has Beck called Obama so far this year? A Nazi, Hitler, an APE, a Communist, satan, Jesus, etc.

HOW RIDICULOUS YOU HAVE TO BE IN ORDER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OLBERMANN AND GIVE BECK A FREE PASS FOR HIS BS.

This nutcase Olbermann actually thinks he is funny. He was terrible back then and horrible today. At least he is good to laugh AT…!

Poor Sajack. If only he were relevant, he wouldn’t need to try to creep into the spotlight by making bloviated comments on his importance in bringing Olbermann to the national stage. He’s a sad man, now, and obviously his opinion of Olbermann is as right-on as his opinion of his own prominence. I don’t find Olbermann bitter at all. He has a lot of fun on that show of his, and I have fun watching him skewer right-wing nutballs. I wish I had watched Olbermann tonight, because he probably had a thing or two to say about Sajak that would have been just as funny as everything else he says.

Maybe I can catch it later tonight.

Pat who?

Keith Olbermann Hits Back At Pat Sajak’s Apology For Putting Olbermann On TV

That’s OK Mr. Sajak, MSNBC is in the process of apologizing for putting him on TV, too.

>> Colby Hall: “To Mr. Olbermann’s point, in terms of current cultural relevance and influence, it does seem odd that a game show host would have the chutzpah to be critical of Mr. Olbermann.”

Dear Colby:
Congratulations on being today’s VILLAGE IDIOT.

Just an FYI for you — WHEEL OF FORTUNE is now in its TWENTY SEVENTH season. It is without question one of the biggest and most successful game shows in the HISTORY of television, and it is highly successful in foreign markets around the world as well. Given the number of stations it is currently on, it is also…to this day…the #1 show in TV syndication. And this year it’s current viewership is…

…Well, let’s compare things, shall we? Keith’s viewership is…what? Hmm, it can’t be too good since I seem to recall reading a Mediaite article just a few minutes ago, which noted that laughably Keith’s “big return” came in second to Maddow’s show. But overall, Keith still has a total viewership of about 1.5 million…

…Which is pretty paltry compared to the 10 MILLION people that watch WHEEL OF FORTUNE nightly. So, if it’s generally accepted that O’Reilly kicks Olbermann ass every night by a 3 to 1 ratio, I guess the 10 to 1 ratio that Sajak has over Olbermann reduces Keith to a mere butt pimple.

So, a little news flash for Colby Hall — in reading your toss away comment, I’m reminded of a moment in the movie DEEP IMPACT (about a meteor headed to Earth). Early on, Tia Leoni (playing a reporter) thinks she has some dirt on the President (played by Morgan Freeman), so she tries to bully him into giving her an exclusive interview. At which point Freeman politely…but very sternly…gets into her face and looks her square in the eyes and says: “It might seem like you have me over a barrel, but let me assure you it only SEEMS that way.”

So, let’s be clear — it might SEEM that Keith is “currently more culturally relevant and important” than a game show like WHEEL or a host like Sajak, but let me assure you it only SEEMS that way. FAR more Americans watch Sajak every night of the week and…even more impressive…after 27 years of being on the air, they still LIKE him and tune in by the millions to watch him. Unlike a complete douche bag like Olbermann, whose ratings are slipping and who wears out his welcome very quickly with viewers and — based on his resume — every where he professionally works as well.

42% never heard of Keith Olbermann.

55% never heard of Rachel Maddow.

70% never heard of Ed Schultz.

Charles Schultz, now that’s another matter.

They reach only 12% of America while Fox News hits 42%.

“Skewering right wing nut balls” isn’t exactly the level of discourse that makes Olbermann look credible to anyone other than his small group of left wing nut balls.

Where does Pat Sajak say that he “introduced” Keith Olbermann to America? I see that nowhere in the above story.

Don’t worry Keith, I’m sure Soros and Arianna still like you!

LOL!

“To Mr. Olbermann’s point, in terms of current cultural relevance and influence, it does seem odd that a game show host would have the chutzpah to be critical of Mr. Olbermann.”

Sounds like a typical, liberal elitist statement. Why should Pat Sajak have any less standing or right to criticize Olbermann than Olbermann has to criticize a world full of his intellectual, moral (and, for that matter, vocational) superiors, every night? The pompous, pseudo-intellectual, fact-bending windbag should be so lucky as to have the viewers and the fans that Pat Sajak has. And Sajak doesn’t have work in the cable wasteland of MSNBC because no one else will have him, like Olby.

For that matter, in addition to being a game show host, Sajak is also a conservative blogger. If you believe bloggers should refrain from criticizing those will more cultural relevance and influence, you had better hang up your keyboard, Mr. Hall…

Fact: N-please Pat’s got to walk the plank on this one. Olbermann’s was in sports as a butt dart champion then moved into a comical role on MSMBC pundant.

well I can top all of this …..I spent july 4 1989….at a taping of the pat sajak show…while on vacation in southern cal summer of 1989……now how is whacked is that!!!!!

Sajak has ten times Olbermann’s viewers every night with Wheel of Fortune. And he’s still in great form with his dry, sardonic take on things, which resembles KeithO’s except he doesn’t have the nasty snarky side and doesn’t smirk non-stop. Olbermann should self-destruct and do a favor to all thinking humanity. On the other hand, his skanky side is vastly more entertaining than MadCow or OverDose on the same unwatched cable news outlet.

“To Mr. Olbermann’s point, in terms of current cultural relevance and influence, it does seem odd that a game show host would have the chutzpah to be critical of Mr. Olbermann.”

Upon further reflection, this comment of Colby Hall’s reflects how far down in the barrel full of rotten apples he himself must be stagnating. “cultural relevance and influence” is certainly an arrogant way of framing the argument. How about “scandal-mongering and pseudo-intellectual spew-o-rama hosepipe” or some such way to describe Keith O as he is seen by a large and increasing majority of “culturally relevant” Americans, whoever they may be in Colby’s NBC universe.

I am a watcher of Wheel of Fortune, so I like Pat Sajak and he has NEVER made a statement that wasn’t correct, imo. Anyone that listens to the dubmaxx Olbermann must have a very low IQ. He can only say things that someone with low IQ could adhere to. I have also seen, by accident, olmannn. on a NFL preshow and I turned it off as soon as I saw who it was. NEVER will I listen to a foul mouth, Baxtard like Olbermann. I think he and his co-hort Madcow should just leave any and ALL TV stations, they really have NEVER given out any Truthful news anyway. I guess is you like raving and ranting, with no reason, go ahead, dumbo and maybe one day your IQ will Raise and you can listen to a real station that tells the TRUTH in NEWS!

^ HAHA!

fyi, idiots don’t get to say other people have low IQ’s.

LOL. Who’s the creep?

Pat Sajak told the truth. Olbermann is lying as usual. All you have to do is WATCH THE TAPE accompanying the article of that show. Incredible how people make accusations and debate this nonsense when the evidence is in front of your noses.

Note to Mr. Olbermann — I don’t think I’d admit that I was interviewed and rejected to replace a failed talk show host (but apparently was so bad I couldn’t get the gig).

To the author of the article — why so condescending toward game show hosts? It came across to me (and apparently others) as, “Who does Sajak think he is? How DARE that lowly little piss ant game show host criticize the lofty Keith OLBERMANN?”

Disregarding the content of his remarks, Sajak *does* have as much right to voice an opinion about someone he doesn’t care for as Olbermann has to do the same (and he does, every show — is it “chutzpah” when he does it?).

Props to all the “little people” (liberal, conservative and other) who may not have media star cred, but have hella chutzpah!
