Jimmy Kimmel unloaded on former TV host Keith Olbermann at the White House Correspondents Dinner over the weekend. Saying, “Kieth Olbermann burned more bridges than the arsonist of Madison County.”
Now Keith Olbermann has decided to hit back at Kimmel comparing him to Bill O’Reily.
Kimmel Joked at the Correspondents dinner:
“I’d like everyone to look under your seats. Under each one you will find a copy of Keith Olbermann’s resume. Is Keith here tonight? Limo wouldn’t pick him up? The thing about Keith Olbermann. He is so likable. Al Gore launched Current TV in 2005 and it took off like a North Korean rocket. But to be honest, I didn’t even know Current TV was still on the air, but then I don’t get ‘Channel a Million.’ Keith Olbermann burned more bridges than the arsonist of Madison County. He has more pink slips than Marcus Bachmann. Too soon?”
Olbermann tweeted his response:
Funny that Jimmy Kimmel ripped me after his people desperately wanted me to fly to LA to be on his show this past Wednesday #nerdprom—

Olbermann went on to clarify that he didn’t like the revenge element of Kimmel’s jokes. Comparing the late night talk show host to Fox News personality Bill O’Reily:
I'm not complaining about the Kimmel jokes – I'm fair game. I'm complaining about the revenge element. It reminds me of O'Reilly #nerdprom—
