He's Back: Watch the Ad for Keith Olbermann's New Show

No, this isn't a prank. The time hath arrived. Keith Obermann, the former MSNBC media heavyweight is back. In only three short days the ego-maniac's new show, "Countdown," (which, coincidentally, has the same old name) will premiere on Current (Al Gore's network). A new ad for the program features the talking head complaining about censorship (or something like that). You can watch it below:

New York Magazine's Daily Intel blog didn't have anything favorable to say about Olbermann -- or his show for that matter:

...judging by the ad released yesterday by Current, [the show] will...include many of the other trappings of the old show: hubris, paranoia, finger-pointing, and doom-saying. (Not that you expected anything less when you heard Gore and Olbermann were going to get together).

The suffocatingly self-serious ad features Olbermann awkwardly avoiding a censor box as he speaks. "The free flow of information has been thwarted, dissenting voices silenced, and for every story there's a flurry of heavily biased corporate-sponsored spin that can distract even the most engaged viewer," he warns. "And every day we're left with a bit less clarity. Until now."

Earlier this morning, Olbermann held a press conference with reporters to discuss the show. During the call he claimed that he will no longer continue his feud with Bill O'Reilly and that he hasn't watched MSNBC for more than five minutes since he left. He also said that reports of his salary are exaggerated, but declined to share the actual number.

Will you be watching "Countdown" to see the shenanigans unfold?
