On Friday night’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann responded to Jon Stewart’s mockery of the MNSBC host on the previous night’s Daily Show, admitting, “I have been a little over the top lately. Point taken. Sorry.”
On Thursday’s Daily Show Stewart impersonated Olbermann in his own “Special Comment” and ridiculed Olbermann’s over-the-top criticism of Massachusetts senator-elect Scott Brown. “Now you are just calling people names,” Stewart said.
After playing The Daily Show segment in full, Olbermann initially struck back at Stewart: “This from a guy who reached his professional apex when he was the host of Short Attention Span Theater, 1991?” But he then relented: “Nah, you know what, you’re right. I have been a little over the top lately. Point taken. Sorry.”
