Keith Olbermann is leaving MSNBC and has announced that Friday's Countdown show will be his last (FINALLY THE ARAB SYMPATHIZER IS GONE)

NEW YORK – MSNBC host Keith Olbermann announced Friday that he is leaving the network and has taped his last Countdown show.MSNBC issued a statement that it had ended its contract with the controversial host, with no further explanation. Olbermann hosted the network's most popular show, but his combative liberal opinions often made him a target of critics.

Olbermann did not explain why he was leaving.

MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success and we wish him well in his future endeavors, the network said.A spokesman said Phil Griffin, MSNBC's president, would not comment on Olbermann's exit.

Olbermann was suspended without pay from the network for two days in November for donating to three Democratic candidates, which violated NBC News' policy on political donations.Olbermann complained that he was being punished for mistakenly violating an inconsistently applied rule that he had known nothing about.The host apologized to fans -- but not to the network.Olbermann, before leaving the show with a final signature toss of his script toward the camera, thanked his audience for sticking with him and read a James Thurber poem.This may be the only television program where the host was much more in awe of the audience than vice versa, he said.

He thanked a series of people, including the late Tim Russert, but pointedly not Griffin or NBC News President Steve Capus.Olbermann's prime-time show is the network's top-rated. His evolution from a humorous look at the day's headlines into a pointedly liberal show in the last half of George W. Bush's administration led MSNBC to largely shift the tone of the network in his direction, with the hirings or Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell in primetime.But Olbermann was known for a mercurial personality behind the scenes and he was almost fired last year for the political donations. He quit a prime-time show on MSNBC in the late 1990s, complaining that management was making him report too much on President Bill Clinton's impeachment scandal.He was particularly critical of Fox News Channel and his direct competitor, Bill O'Reilly, frequently naming him his Worst Person in the World in a segment popular with his fans. Bosses at NBC had discussed trying to keep the tone of the vitriol down.MSNBC announced that O'Donnell, who had frequently filled in for Olbermann before starting his own 10 p.m. show, will take over Olbermann's time slot starting Monday. The Ed Show, with Ed Schultz, would move to 10 p.m. Cenk Uygur of the Web show The Young Turks, will fill Schultz's vacated 6 p.m. time slot.Olbermann had signed a new four-year contract with MSNBC two years ago. It's unclear what his plans are now.He could give a boost to struggling CNN's prime-time lineup, but Olbermann would mean CNN would make an abrupt shift in its nonpartisan policy. It was not immediately known how quickly Olbermann could switch to another job if he wanted to.
