Countdown with Keith Olbermann
TV Series (2003 - 2013)
Notable for Olbermann's elaborate writing style, fast-paced delivery, historical and pop culture references, and signature witty interjections makes Countdown more colorful than most newscasts. Olbermann combines serious news stories with humorous segments and, of late, with commentaries critical of the Bush administration.
