Over at Swampland Ana Marie Cox caught up with SNL skit subject Keith Olbermann and asked him what he thought of Ben Affleck's impression of him (the second half of which, is far funnier than the first, in our opinion). His response is, how shall we say, lukewarm at best,... [FishBowlNY]
Affleck as Olbermann: "It is the Fear and the Tyranny Up With Which We Dare No Longer Put" - Posted November 2, 2008
So, the Keith Olbermann skit made it into the live edition of SNL last night. Ben Affleck, who's been a guest on Countdown, played Olbermann to the extreme, and that's not easy to do. We were particularly fond of Fred Armisen's turn as Richard Wolffe.
ABC's Jake Tapper, in what is probably... [TVNewser]

LAT In 90 Seconds - Posted April 14, 2008
The Hollywood Trades: While the Reporter and Variety battle to the death (the Reporter's death, that is), LAT is maybe kinda sorta upping its Hollywood coverage.
