Keith Olbermann Gets The 'I'm With Coco' Treatment

[onehandle]

Maybe Keith Olbermann doesn't have the geeky warmth of Conan O'Brien, but that doesn't make him any less worthy of his own grass roots movement, right? And as wunderkind illustrator Mike Mitchell proved with his indelible "I'm With Coco" image, nothing unites people against NBC like a great avatar.

With that in mind, we unveil the new battle flag of #TeamOlbo. One can only hope that such a groundswell of support inspires Olbermann to spend the next 6 months to a year delivering his Special Comments in 140-character, non-competitive increments.

1. Legally prohibited to be political on televison tour?

2. I appreciate the effort

and REALLY appreciate the sentiment, but, in my opinion, that's not a very good likeness.

3. thank u keith!

keith will be greatly missed and i sincerly hope he finds a
new forum..he is more than just a tv personality, he is a
powerful voice for truth!

4. I don't think "Olbo" is going to enjoy nearly the groundswell of support

and warm fuzzies that "Coco" received.

5. Well, I can tell you that

KO means WAY MORE to me than Conan did (or does).

6. Same here...

I've always found Conan boring and not very funny. Same goes for Leno and Letterman.

[ohheckyeah]

9. I think Jimmy

Fallon is the best of the late night talk show hosts.

7. That's fine. To some individuals, he will mean more. But in the aggregate,

he won't have nearly the rabid groundswell of support. Conan is a likable entertainer, and he was widely viewed as getting screwed by NBC. Olbermann? His hyperpartisan style only appeals to a certain slice of the public (us), and it's not clear he got screwed at all.

That's all I'm saying. The numbers won't be there on Olbermann's side, just because his audience was much smaller and narrower. And Conan got the sympathy vote after getting the major shaft.

8. I prefer Leno

to O'Brien, but got used to watching Letterman while Leno was on earlier. I never felt that Conan got screwed. NBC should never have tried to force Leno out to begin with.

Craig Ferguson is the brightest spot in late night TV these days, in my opinion. Does it all on his own with no (human) sidekick and no band. And he's hilariously silly. I alternate between Leno and Letterman, depending on the guest lineup (and my mood).

11. I think it should be KOKO

10. Olbo?

Doesn't quite work for me. How about, "The Keither" - even that would be better.
