If you do not remember his name, how do you know he's gone?

Poor guy was hired, fired and rehired by ESPN, I wouldn't worry too much about him.

..and he's no more angry than other news entertainer on not to be mentioned network.

Have a nice day.

That "angry guy" was the only reason I ever watched ESPN. I hope Keith lands someplace where he can do some real reporting.

I remember him from his MSNBC show; I liked him. Intelligence on tv is rare thing these days. I never saw him on ESPN but I suspect OP confused passion with anger..

He has made a ton of money. He goes from one multi-million dollar job to the next.

Keith Ablow was on ESPN?

I believe they are speaking about Keith Olbermann. Incredibly smart but also incredibly unable to control his temper.

eta: He didn't exactly get fired, ESPN chose not to renew his contract. Apparently they weren't happy with the way he criticized Roger Godell during the Ray Rice fiasco among other things.

To my eye Godell needed the criticism

I wish I could have seen those commentaries, I bet they were spot on. It was always one of Keith's strengths. It's too bad he can't play ball with the higher ups but eventually his conscience gets to him and he explodes.

KO fan here...watched him on MSNBC and follow him on twitter.

He posts alot of videos from his show on twitter, if you want to check it out.

When I heard the news that he will not be on ESPN too much longer, I immediately thought of David Letterman. Dave would have him on as a last minute guest when someone else cancelled. Keith lives in NYC so was available. Also Dave would book him whenever he had a 'career change'.

In some ways Dave and Keith had similar outlooks! I miss Dave

Thanks for the head's up, I'll have to see if I can find them. I used to love to watch him with Dave and I agree, they were very similar and same snark factor . . . ;0

Namaste000 -- I miss Dave, too. I am looking forward to Stephen Colbert's debut though. I will go into deep mourning when Jon Stewart signs off.
