Keith Olbermann claims Rachel Maddow prevented his return to MSNBC

It's Olbermann, who has burned every bridge he crossed, so it has to be taken with a fuckton of salt.

But if it's true, good for Rachel for not wanting the network to get involved with this hetero drama queen.

Olbermann was too much of a drama queen to return. Plus, there is no room for his mailbox at 30 Rock which is the only way he would allow people to communicate with him at the end. I am sure Maddow doesn't want Tucker back either, even though he brought her on the air first.

Rachel is owed a huge debt of gratitude for sparing us more of Keith.

Keith...Tucker...Joy...Rachel.

They are all exhausting.

I loved his Worst Persons In The World bit & would enjoy his return just for that segment alone.

If would probably be turned into a top 10 list based on what the GQP has morphed into now.

Rachel is one spiteful byotch.

May they kill each other. Journalism as Narcissism has created the horror show world we live in.

Give Keith Chris Hayes’ slot.

I always thought this sketch--which is one of the funniest ones SN: has ever done--basically ruined Keith Olbermann's career. It was impossible to take him seriously ever again after watching this.

It's the counter-evidence I always offer when people say Ben Affleck is untalented. The first time I saw this, when he started talking about his cat Miss Precious Perfect at 5:28 I just lost it.

The video at R7 should've ended BA's career.

He did more mugging in that bit then KO in an entire MSNBC show.

Ben couldn't stay in character -laughing at his own bits-an oversized ego playing an oversized ego.

His vocal impression of Keith was way off. Too much Lou Grant & not enough KO.

That’s because you’re “basically” an idiot.
