Murrow Award winner – the daily show will include a news-driven mix featuring his trademark ‘Special Comment’ political analysis, the ‘Worst Person In The World’ segment, and his timeless readings from the works of the immortal James Thurber," the statement read.
"Countdown with Keith Olbermann" references Olbermann’s original show on MSNBC which aired from March 2003 to January 2011. He later hosted a show for Current TV from 2011 to 2012 that was also titled "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."
