Pretty funny, especially the "Special Comment" and all of turning to a different camera.

    That was pretty funny...lol. I think Ben Affleck did a great job, right down to the facial expressions.

    Definitely one of the funnier skits I've seen on SNL in awhile. Olbermann himself seemed quite tickled by it too.

    Anybody else miss when Olbermann was on ESPN--you know, a company with some real journalistic integrity? ;)

    I thought it was hilarious.

    Olberman got a signed cue card from Affleck sent to him, nice to see he had a good sense of humor about it.

    very funny. way over the top, but that's what good satire is. The cue card said: To Keith-- you know, I didn't write the skit. And the only way I got the role down was from years of watching"

    or something like that. I love how Fox and the NY Post (owned by Fox) tried to make it so that olbermann was livid about it. The Post is the same papaer that "reported" that olbermann would leave NBC if he didn't get Meet The press. they reported this after olbermann himself said on air that he is not nearlyqualified for that show, and to replace the great Tim Russert

    did they really report he was pissed about it? laughable.

    the words "fair" and "balanced" have forever been rendered useless by FNC.

    threw a snit, and forced his way past SNL security guards, making Ben Affleck very uncomfortable, is what they reported
