The #ThisWeek roundtable Sunday: @KeithOlbermann, @TerryMoran, @donnabrazile, @ArturDavis + George Will. abcn.ws/LVHj94
— This Week (@ThisWeekABC) June 29, 2012
“…Then, the “This Week” powerhouse roundtable debates the Supreme Court’s key health care and immigration decisions and all the week’s politics, with Keith Olbermann, ABC News’ George Will, Democratic strategist and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile, former Rep. Artur Davis, and “Nightline” co-anchor Terry Moran, who covers the Supreme Court for ABC News…“
(emphasis mine)
This could become a tax discussion at least by Will and Davis and an interesting debate on immigration.

Keith out on CurrentTV (updated)
Update:
The Late Show tweeted:
- JUST ANNOUNCED:
@KeithOlbermann will join Dave on the@Late_Show on Tuesday, April 3rd to talk about his departure from Current TV.
And a reminder that Keith is at the Paley Center in NY, next Thursday, with Dan Patrick:
http://www.paleycenter.org/2012-spring-twentieth-anniversary-of-the-big-show-keith-olbermann-and-dan-patrick-together-again
————
“Mr. Olbermann will not be given an opportunity to sign off. Starting Friday night, the former New York governor Eliot Spitzer will replace him at 8 p.m., according to the letter to viewers.”
http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/30/current-tv-dismisses-keith-olbermann/?src=tp
I’m not watching Current again. Only positive: It will give me time to sleep at night.
Keith’s statement on Twitter:
- 1/ I’d like to apologize to my viewers and my staff for the failure of Current TV. Editorially, Countdown had never been better.
- 2/ But for more than a year I have been imploring
@AlGore and@JoelHyatt to resolve our issues internally, - 3/ while I’ve been not publicizing my complaints, and keeping the show alive for the sake of its loyal viewers and even more loyal staff.
- 4/ Nevertheless, Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt, instead of abiding by their promises and obligations and investing in a quality news program,
- 5/ finally thought it was more economical to try to get out of my contract. It goes almost without saying that the claims against me
- 6/ in Current’s statement are untrue and will be proved so in the legal actions I will be filing against them presently.
- 7/ To understand Mr. Hyatt’s “values of respect, openness, collegiality and loyalty,” I encourage you to read of a previous occasion
- 8/ Mr. Hyatt found himself in court for having unjustly fired an employee. That employee’s name was Clarence B. Cain: http://nyti.ms/HueZsa
- 9/ In due course, the truth of the ethics of Mr. Gore and Mr. Hyatt will come out. For now, it is important only to again acknowledge
- 10/ that joining them was a sincere and well-intentioned gesture on my part, but in retrospect a foolish one.
- 11/11 That lack of judgment is mine and mine alone, and I apologize again for it.
