I had him on my show one time back in the late 90s, 97ish or so. My cohost worshipped him. I despised him even then.

Interesting story, and totally on-brand for him.

Aside from becoming persona non grata at ESPN and MSNBC, people forget Al Gore fired him from CurrentTV and Rupert Murdoch fired him from Fox Sports. That's quite a résumé of organizations who found him detestable.

That's how you know he was broken long before Trump, and he's not just rage-baiting for clicks on social media. Olbermann has always been a piece of shite.

IIRC, he got fired from CurrentTV because he was specifically hired for an emphasis on election coverage and started calling in sick during that time period randomly so he could be depressed in his bathtub.

As Jim Cornette said about Jake The Snake, “It’s hard to fire someone who never shows up.”
