Keith Olbermann 'Told' That Tonight Was His Last Show?! (Video, Blog)

Talk about a Special Comment: Keith Olbermann announced on air that tonight's edition of Countdown on MSNBC will be his last—specifically, that he was "told" it would be his last show—a move that was quickly confirmed by the network with a brief announcement:

MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract. The last broadcast of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" will be this evening. MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors.

Neither Olbermann nor the network gave a reason why he's leaving. Check the vid:

Coincidence or purpose?
