Keith Olbermann just announced tonight was his last show!

[jenmito]

I THINK he said something about his contract being up but I'm not sure. He didn't even say what would take the 8pm slot! I couldn't find any links, either.

1. Sure sounded like he's resigning. Quite a surprise!

[jenmito]

2. I checked out GD and found a thread with a statement by MSNBC. VERY short:

6. Thanks, Jen!

[jenmito]

9. No problemo! :)

[elleng]

3. Didn't say anything about contract.

[jenmito]

4. He did, and so did the statement that MSNBC put out. Link in my post above. n/t

[elleng]

5. THEY say 'have ended their contract.'

Don't recall that he said anything about this contract; did refer to 'last time,' w ? ESPN, wherein they gave him 30 seconds to announce and cut it to 15.

[jenmito]

8. I'm pretty sure he talked about MSNBC's 4-year contract with him after

leaving ESPN and saying the stuff you wrote.

7. I think I get that. After his parents and stuff--he's just tired. Wants a break.

I don't blame him. I think I read that Lawrence would be taking his spot.

[elleng]

12. Could be; hope its his choice.

Yes, someone posted Lawrence taking spot, and Schultz following.

[jenmito]

15. But O'Donnell doesn't do shows on Friday. I wonder what will happen. n/t

[elleng]

17. Prolly will do m-f.

[jillan]

10. omg - I feel like crying!

[jenmito]

14. I can't even imagine how O'Reilly will crow about this. n/t

[elleng]

11. Chris Hayes said Rachel will appear on her show (briefly) tonite,

where Chris is subbing.

[jenmito]

13. But he said she's off for a "well-deserved vacation."

:shrug:

[elleng]

16. Right, and someone said she's on Maher 2nite.

Just had a spot/rerun of Rachel interview w Pelosi.

[jenmito]

18. Yes-Rachel will be on Maher tonight. n/t
