Included were a comment on the day's events, "Post-scripts to the news", a Sports segment, Worst Persons, Thurber Fridays, and "Stories I Promised I Wouldn't Tell", a biographical look back on a point in his career. And he also highlights at least one dog slated to be killed at some kill shelter in America, so they can be saved, in "Every Dog Has His Day".

It was at this point Keith would make his first foray into non-sports news, as host of a primetime news show on Creator/{{MSNBC}}, ''The Big Show with Keith Olbermann'', a reference to a book he had co-authored with his former ''Sports Center'' co-host Dan Patrick. The show began to focus more and more on the 1998 Monica Lewinsky scandal[[note]]A scandal Keith considers to be overblown and which he often mentions in a derisive way to point out how news had gone down the drain at this point in time[[/note]], causing Keith to quit and go back into sports, this time at Creator/{{Fox}} Sports, who fired him in 2001. He would hold a series of journalistic odd jobs for a few years, writing a column for Salon, freelancing for Creator/{{CNN}}, and filling in for radio broadcaster Paul Harvey.
In 2003 he went into political journalism at MSNBC again, this time with much more success than the last: ''Countdown: Iraq'', the show that would shortly evolve into ''Series/CountdownWithKeithOlbermann''. It found its voice as a left-wing {{foil}} to shows such as those found on Creator/FoxNewsChannel. Among the recurring segments were "The Worst Person in the World", in which bronze, silver, and gold medals were awarded to politicians and pundits that had performed particularly repellent gaffes, scandals, or general fuck-ups that week - though a part of the people on the list were "awarded" the honor as a joke and Keith even put himself on the list from time to time. Not all who were put on the list found the "joke" particularly funny, though. [[Series/TheOReillyFactor Bill O'Reilly]] was an early and frequent recipient of this award, and this led to a long and recurring feud between the two.
