Less than a week after Comcast was approved to purchase MSNBC, Keith Olbermann was fired January 21, 2011. Official word states Comcast has nothing to do with the firing. He was their top-rated host so the statement is likely false. [[Glenn Beck]] predicted his firing months before it happened, which led Olbermann to mock Beck as not knowing anything about television and made him his ''worst person in the world''.<ref>[http://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-beck-keith-olbermann-is-the-biggest-pain-in-the-ass-in-the-world/ Glenn Beck: “Keith Olbermann Is The Biggest Pain In The A** In The World”, Mediaite, January 24, 2011]</ref>
[[Stephen Colbert]] made laughs at Keith's expense. A clip of Olbermann saying ''this is the last edition of Countdown'' for which Colbert replies "Well we finally know what they were counting down to." <ref>[https://dailycaller.com/2011/01/25/colbert-channels-keith-olbermug/ Colbert channels ‘Keith Olbermug’, KeithOlbermann.com, January 25, 2011]</ref>
==Reaction to Supreme Court ruling of removing Trump from Colorado ballot==
On March 4, 2024, after the unanimous Supreme Court ruling that [[Donald Trump]] cannot be removed from the Colorado state ballot as he has not yet been convicted, Olbermann started melting down on social media and calls for the dissolution of the federal government's judicial branch. He also trashed the three liberal Supreme Court justices.<ref>[https://www.mediaite.com/news/keith-olbermann-calls-for-scotus-to-be-dissolved-in-tantrum-over-trumps-victory-in-ballot-case-those-arent-tears-fascist-theyre-urine/ Keith Olbermann Calls for SCOTUS to Be ‘Dissolved’ in Tantrum Over Trump’s Victory in Ballot Case: ‘Those Aren’t Tears, Fascist.
