Keith Olbermann looking for a replacement.

[SupportSanity]

On Monday's podcast, Keith hinted that he would be ending his "Countdown" podcast in January.
He was suggesting that someone much younger should take up the fight.
I believe he said he would help that person get started.

And if I recall correctly, Keith said that his name was on a "list".
I'm guessing that's at least one of the reasons for the January deadline.

Keith has had an extraordinary show. He has had info when no one else has had it.
Or he surmised/inferred things that had eventually supported his guesses.

The resistance will need someone like him.

If he's willing to help you get started, that's an offer I wouldn't refuse (if I were half my age).

1. In recent weeks he's mentioned he's "old" at several points

Could be prepping the public, perhaps an illness, or as OP says on a list.

2. There's A Target On My Back, Anybody Interested In Taking My Place? nt

3. This is really sad

I have a feeling we might see quite a few others just tired and dropping out so they can have a life again. I totally get that. But it doesn’t bode well for our country.

[SupportSanity]

7. Yes. I agree. Extremely sad.

And that personalities we came to know and trust also have targets on their backs.
Survival the number one thing.
This all sucks.
Nothing but bad lots of very bad s**t coming down the line.

4. Reminds me of the Oldy Saturday Night Live Skit

When 3 mile island nuclear reactor had a spill. They got (the cleaning lady) was it Garrett Morris to go in with mop and bucket to clean up the spill. Jimmy Carter was in the clip talking about how safe nuclear power was.

Keith needs a Garrett Morris.

5. He always looks highly stressed and unhealthy. He needs to do whats best for his sanity/health.nm

6. Funny

I was just watching a 2009 intro of Keith on Countdown on YouTube. I used to love watching Wolf, Chris Matthews and Keith during the early Obama years. Nostalgia.

I miss those days, can’t believe our country is headed where it is now, where it’s already been and how much worse it’s going to get.

[SupportSanity]

8. Nostalgia. Remember the good times.

Remembering the real good times and a future that might be like them again.

[EnergizedLib]

10. I agree, to an extent

The times and some people I've lost since then are never coming back, but there can still one day be an America better than MAGA or even an America better than pre-MAGA.

I just hope I'm around to see it.

[SupportSanity]

11. Me, too.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

17. Yes. I even miss Chris. I appreciated his sarcasm.

19. This was my thing back when I was a junior in high school

9. He is probably on tRump's enemy list

[MadameButterfly]

13. He has always said that he would be on Trump's list

if Trump were elected, and that Trump would round up his enemies. I've been wondering what people with a target on their backs are thinking right now. I can imagine that the risk vs any positive impact he could have must seem a poor bargain.

He has revelled in his podcast at being freed of the limitations of MSNBC and being as outrageous as he likes. Now the shackles of MSNBC must seem like child'splay compared to what might come. I hope the slightly more toned down media personalities don't make the same choice. But it will take courage.

21. Michael Cohen is moving overseas somewhere

[MadameButterfly]

22. I fear an exodus of the people we need

But I understand.
I hope he's safe there.

[FakeNoose]

12. He should get someone that Chump would never dream of going after

... like Elon Musk's nephew or something.

[rubbersole]

15. Mary tr*mp?

She is doing OK already. I've enjoyed listening to her.

14. Kick for KO.. 💙TY

[SomedayKindaLove]

16. He said he was planning to retire if Harris won

But I guess he decided to retire anyway. He’s definitely pulled more than his weight for a long time.

At least we still have MSNBC after 4PM to counter the 24/7/365 digital misinformation onslaught.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

18. Wonder how many people will flee this country.

[kimbutgar]

20. He's the one podcast I listen to sometimes.

I will definitely miss him if he retires. He’s younger than me and I’m not even considering retiring from my two jobs!
