Olbermann Becomes Co-Host Of NBC’s “Football Night In America”

MSNBC host Keith Olbermann is returning to network sports after a six year absence as a co-host of NBC’s Football Night in America.

“This will, obviously, be great fun and a great privilege for me,” Olbermann says. “To be reunited with NBC Sports, and Dick, and the entire production team, produces all the warm-and-fuzzies you’d be expecting. And even if they weren’t old friends and colleagues, to get to work with the nonpareil of sportscasters in Bob, and the most insightful and honest of sports analysts in Cris, will be rewarding and challenging. I hope I can hold up my end of the equation.”
