[ChairmanAgnostic]

6. yeah, women love him too.

[CatWoman]

81. would you believe I just got that joke?

:rofl:

[samsingh]

82. i don't understand this joke?

[Catshrink]

3. WTF? Lester Holt is on here

No Keith in Arizona????? NBC, right? Sheesh!

[warrior1]

5. Not on the west coast either

[Catshrink]

11. I checked the schedule -- it isn't on until 9pm here

Damn... I was so psyched for watching Keith.

[movonne]

41. 10pm Oregon....

[proud patriot]

46. is it on 7pm PST ?

[Catshrink]

54. Not here.... the game is on

followed by "Extra." That's good, I can catch up on the latest with Paris, Brittany, and Lindsay. :sarcasm:

[CatWoman]

10. I'm sorry

that you have to miss this :-(

Maybe it will be on there later?

[Berry Cool]

19. The show is on for the West Coast at 10 PT.

After the game.

Don't know what the Mountain Time Zone is doing.

[jojo54]

27. Check this post.

Someone said 9:00 your time.

[Subdivisions]

43. delete. wrong place.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. i love his introduction.

SIT BACK FROM YOUR TV.

[Gabi Hayes]

7. I heard this clip of Rove, just before I put on NBC. EDIT: not on KO, Sam Seder

something like this....''I beat him. I read 110 books last year. He read 94"

I'd like to see KO do a book report on the books dumbo read last year, mainly, I guess, I'd like to see a list of said 94. and it was NINTEY FOUR books

insert book joke here

EDIT: to be clear, I heard that clip on SAM SEDER's radio show, not KO. It was the last thing on his show, from which I switched to NBC

too bad Keith hasn't played that clip. love to see some video of that, as well

[CatWoman]

12. Hi, Gaby

:hi:

you behave yourself, now!! :)

[Gabi Hayes]

48. har de HAR. I am! I just went to your Camilla thread, and didn't post.

how's that for good behavior?

it would have been something about Prince Charles and a tampon.

btw, have you ever seen the guy after Letterman do his Prince Charles "Cable show?"

one of the funniest things this side of that billion light year ball of nothingness

and has Mo Rocca ever been funny?

he wasn't funny on the Daily Show, either, AIR

[Catshrink]

13. No Georgie,

the little golden books don't count.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. Yummmmmmy!

:loveya:

[lisa58]

9. Thanks for reminding me...

...I was getting pissed at Ron Paul on "Road to the Whitehouse" anyway - glad to have such a great alternative!

[aquart]

14. Omygoodness! Keith Olbermann on MY TV!!!!!!!

I feel completely disoriented. I only get to see him when I visit my mommy.

[aquart]

21. I just sent NBC a thank you note.

[Nitrogenica]

15. This is significant, I think. America get's to hear a Liberal news show

On a SUNDAY NIGHT...this is HUGH!

[aquart]

22. Write and thank them.

<http://www.nbc.com/Footer/Contact_Us/>

[CatWoman]

32. thanks for that email addy, A

and the suggestion :hi:

[calimary]

39. Good post! YES, we absolutely MUST contact them and tell them they did good.

MUST! Simply MUST!

Remember: If they think WE don't care, THEY WON'T, EITHER!!!

But if they suddenly start thinking that maybe there's an audience for this, that maybe it isn't just a solitary cable-ghetto fluke, then Keith may go the majors far more frequently - which is what we need! We NEED OUR voices out there, shouting down the Moron tabernacle choirs of voices that utterly surround us and monopolize the public discourse. That's the ONLY way we'll ever start making headway in the political discussion and the public airwaves. By getting more of OUR voices and OUR standard-bearers on the air more frequently. DO IT! I'm gonna do it myself as of 11pm pacific time - when the "Countdown" telecast ends here in L.A.

[samsingh]

84. kick

[shoopnyc]

16. This is great!

I don't post often here, (work too much), but I had to acknowledge his work here!

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. WOOHOO! He's on here!!!! What a great time for KO! 60 Minutes is a rerun, so many people

should be tuning in to see KO.

This is such a treat!

[RavensChick]

57. Yup!

Isn't it wonderful to finally have him back on the air after a long week? Seeing this cheered me up from such a lousy weekend.

[shoopnyc]

18. 60 Minutes MUST be sweating! eom

[aquart]

25. Good. They canned Rather and tried to force Couric on me.

BAD CBS. NO ratings.

[RavensChick]

65. That's why I'm glad I have cable!

All other programs on at 7 on Sunday nights are much more entertaining anyway. So let CBS sweat!! If anything they have it coming because of Couric.

[graywarrior]

74. I kept flipping back and forth and Keith is so much brighter and upbeat and COOLER.

[shoopnyc]

20. WOW! AND IT'S LIVE! eom

[spinbaby]

23. Sure wish I could see him

Pittsburgh has some pre-game special featuring football players mumbling into microphones.:grr: :grr: :grr:

[capi888]

24. I missed the opening just jumped on

What did he say?

[CatWoman]

33. check Gabby's post above

[capi888]

50. Thanks alot Catwomen

N/T

[Robbien]

26. No awful ticker scroll at the bottom of the screen

Makes it so much better.

[shoopnyc]

29. Hey your right!

I knew something was different!

[teamster633]

28. Substance and Style...

...coming soon to a TV near you.

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. Giuliani...spent 29% of his time at ground zero...58% of his time spent at YANKEE GAMES!!!!

[hlthe2b]

31. Anybody know what the story is for the Mountain TIme Zone?

I'm in Denver, and only local news on....?

[CatWoman]

34. someone upthread said 10 p.m.

:hi:

[hlthe2b]

36. thanks, CatWoman

and howdy right back at ya :7

[Gloria]

56. 9 pm from what I see here on my Comcast guide -- I'm in NM but I

saw someone else's post that it's the same in Denver

[Robbien]

38. after the game

After writing this morning that Keith Olbermann will have a special edition of “Countdown” on NBC at 4 p.m. Sunday, I got an e-mail from NBC saying the West Coast will actually be on a tape delay and the show will air at 10 p.m. — after the Eagles-Steelers preseason dance.

[movonne]

I'm here in Oregon and it is 10pm pacific....

[chimpymustgo]

35. Yeah baby!

:loveya:

[Gloria]

37. Won't be on until 9pm in Mountain Times zone!!! After the game...

They'll say he didn't retain the lead-in ratings, so he's a failure, mark my words..

[Middle finga]

40. I'm watching it now, I wonder if he's going to do his worst person

segment, with the large audience you don't want to give the usual suspects too much attention.

[teamster633]

44. I was just wondering the same thing...

...when he did the "Top Three Newsmakers" segment. A three-fer for Billo would be pretty cool.

[in_cog_ni_to]

42. Horse race with horse named Hoof Hearted.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Too FUNNY!

[Robbien]

55. Ha, that was hilarious

and it seemed that the race announcer was having a gay old time with the name also.

[Subdivisions]

45. CRAP! I missed the first half hour! Can anyone recap please? n/t

[Robbien]

59. The live blogging site has a nice recap

http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/08/26/333261.aspx

[givemebackmycountry]

47. I just sent NBC an e-mail and told them (nicely)

That if they didn't consider COUNTDOWN as the lead in for the NFL Sunday night games during the season, they could be on the list for...

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!

I was very nice and complimentary though.

[MadBadger]

58. They'd be retarded if they did.

[CatWoman]

49. ROFL!!!

Bush clearing brush wearing assless chaps!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[teamster633]

53. Jimmy-Jeff must have been over for the night.

[malaise]

51. I disagree

I think he's trying to be way too cute tonight.

[Robbien]

61. Not him so much, but his guests are really bombing

The guests are trying to be super funny and their schtick isn't working.

[malaise]

72. Pity because

I love KO.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

52. the Mo Rocca bit will go over some people's heads, I fear

anyone who was half listening probably thought it was real.

Other than that, it was hilarious! But satire doesn't do well for most Americans, sorry to say.

[RavensChick]

63. Yeah, that's true

besides I never liked Mo anyway. He's as dry as sand.

Satire is becoming a lost art form, but dudes like Mo make it harder to follow what the hell they're saying. I can follow Bill Maher much better even though he's an established and well known comedian than this jerk off calling himself a "humorist". At least the show for the most part has been successful tonight on network TV. I hope NBC makes this part of the fall lineup 'cause heaven knows they need it!

[calimary]

79. Mo Rocca won't go over well with much of this audience. I found him

rather lackluster. And the guy after him - whose name I forget - he was horrible. I think they tried to fluff it up so as not to shake up their staid Sunday night viewership. But the "Who Farted" bit was fabulous!!!

[Blackhatjack]

60. Limbaugh is the "Worst Person In The World"... KO exposes Rush's ignorance..

KO pointed out that Rush knows no history.

[CatWoman]

64. and then Chris Collinsworth's ignorant comment:

"Is Rush REALLY the worst person in the world"??

:wtf: was that all about?

[MadBadger]

68. I think he basically just admitted that hes never watched his show.

[Robbien]

69. He probably has never seen KO's show before

and doesn't know there is a worst person in the world every single day. It is true, there are many people in the whole world who are more evil than Rush, but those people aren't in today's news.

Collinsworth sounds like a first time viewer.

[Mabus]

80. FYI, Limbaugh and Collingsworth know each other (charity golf)

RUSH: It’s Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh, the happiest, and the most optimistic
figure in American media today. Even when I’ve worn out.
A little – little – little program note, just to remind you, I’m not going to be here on
Monday. I’m going to go try to play golf. Joe Burt – Joe Buck’s annual charity
tournament in St. Louis, it’s one – for Children’s Hospital. Chris Collingsworth is
going to be there as he was last year. Nice as he could be to me last year, but that
was before the McNabb comment. He made all those idiotic comments on FOX
telecasts about how stupid I was. So I can’t wait to run into him and ask him who
was writing his scripts.

And Collingworth used to be a Fox Sports announcer.

[libnnc]

70. Chris Collingsworth = Idiot.

Can't stand him.

[RavensChick]

73. Who knows?

I think Chris is intimidated by Keith for whatever reason, so we'll have to see as the season rolls on.

[ecstatic]

62. He looks too retro!

Wish he'd lose those spectacles!

[RavensChick]

75. I wish he wear the rimless ones again!

It brings his eyes out a bit more.

[CatWoman]

66. AHHHHHHHHH

That was refreshing :)

[RavensChick]

71. Sure was!!

I need a drink.

[CatWoman]

76. welcome to DU, RC

:hi:

[teamster633]

67. Ends with "Mission Accomplished" update.

Go Keith!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

77. Reporting In - It's on in SoCal

[LaPera]

78. Seems everyone I know watched and loved Olbermann!

[bdamomma]

83. well I loved watching Keith on Sunday, but one thing I wish he

would do can all those celebrity stories, I love the first half hour of his show, but then again, he was up against 60 Minutes which is all news, which brings me to the point, that we understand Keith's format but if someone who had never seen his show, comes in at the last half hour may think he has nothing to offer, it happened to me, my husband changed the station to 60 Minutes.

[lonestarnot]

85. Agree, but love that Keith. Only one who reports anything worth listening to, he's forced into

that format.
