1. if they want to make the mistake of putting on Alex, that's their call
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 09:33 AM by gkhouston
of course, I'll turn off the TV about five seconds after I realize Alex is hosting...

(I would like to see Monica get a chance to host sometime. Alison's my favorite sub, but I think Monica could do the job.)

2. I adore Alison ! But that's not a problem....
...the problem is, she's not Keith.

I believe she could easily replace Katie Couric, not Keefer.

3. wet saltines would be better than Katie Couric
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 10:36 AM by gkhouston
but agreed, the issue isn't whether Alison is a good host. The point is that the show is Countdown with Keith Olbermann and it's been a little light on the "Olbermann" part lately. :cry:

on edit: I was sweeping the kitchen floor last night just as Countdown began and mis-parsed Alison's intro about the Bolton announcement. Instead of hearing that the annoucement was greeted with "boos", I heard "booze" and thought, "gee, I must not be the only one who's taking the news hard." :rofl:

4. LOL.....
I saw the "boo's" on a film clip, and thought, so this is what feeds the underbelly of the Bush Administration ? Bolton just looked too delighted. Yeah, pass the "booze" :beer:

5. Oh, here's the note I just shot off to the Countdown staffers.....
"Congratulations on making EW's "Must See" list for the week of Aug 5.
Unfortunately, where's Keith ? While I'm sure new viewers will enjoy Alison's snarkilicious broadcast journalism style, only Keith is "bitingly hilarious" ! "

6. I agree KO is good but the point of this thread is to say nice nice about
Ms. Al-She-Will-Sin or Perky Girl.

We need the news. And at least Countdown W/out KO is still better then Fox, the dead intern guy, or fucker carlson. (BTW Carlson did not copy KO's show much?)

So drop a P.G. looks fetching when she blushes or Al-she-will-sin has snark.

Please you are my FAV EDV of the KOEB

7. Botany, dearest
I don't care about Alison's cleavage, (although I know you do), so why praise it? And yes, they both looked quite fetching last night. As for being better than those other shows, I wouldn't watch those other programs if I were home sick with the flu, so that's sort of damning with faint praise, now isn't it?

the same time??????? Do I have to draw you a picture?

9. they're the only two unattached people
in the entire country? You know, they could do that sort of thing on the weekends and we'd be none the wiser... I think your paranoia's kicking in again, Botany. Or perhaps you've been unfaithful to the lovely Stephanie so now you're projecting to lessen your :blush:?

10. unfaithful is such an ugly word .....
..... I like, "if you can't be with one you love, love the one your with."

Besides the flesh is weak or We may never pass this way again or
Who knows what tomorrow will bring or Sure you want another glass
of wine with your dinner? or "I use sex to get sex."

Besides I am just about 100% sure that Steph already has somebody in
her life ...... :cry:

:rofl:

11. Big fan
I like 'em both.

Not so thrilled with Alison doing the throwing paper thing at the end, however, although the little origami paper box she inflated was cute.

Monica looks a little unhappy these days and not so perky. What's wrong, dear? Do you want to talk about it?

:loveya: :loveya: For the ladies of Countdown, from the KOEB.

19. You did know I was kidding, right?
UofM grads are smarter than that. And we also believe in affirmative action, even in clothing.

20. No I am deeply hurt.
The only way to make for that slight is to give me your tickets
for OSU v U of M @ the big House.


BTW ..... Gotta love Ohio's voting ...... Hackett was running 50 50 w/
the repug witch until the "humidity" caused the machines counting
the vote to go down. (BTW we have air conditioning here) And bingo
the last 2.5% of the vote comes in after being "hand counted" in Claremont
county overwhelmingly for the repug. And his final margin is 48 v 52.

22. the hurt is deep!
I have spent the day in therapy. My therapist said a road trip
to Ann Arbor to watch Ohio State drop the hammer on the maize & the
beaten black & blue will help.


i have feelings you know.

27. Guess you'll need more therapy around
Thanksgiving when we beat you on the Saturday before.

I've already got my season tickets and they're not leaving my house.

29. Look i will stop by to pick them up .....
..... on Friday night before the game. Put them under the mat
in a baggy. O.K.?

Tressel is 3 and 1 vs U of M.

Teddy Ginn will drop @ least 2 touchdown on you.

By the way tell L. Carr to get ready for a 3-4 defense.

17. Gidget looked sad even when on with Keith lately.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-05 08:08 PM by BerryBush
I hope all is well with her, really.

But I am with the rest of the gals. I don't care about Alison's cleavage, sorry. And I don't really care to read Botany's dark fantasies of Keith and Stephanie Miller being on vacay together making the beast with two backs. AGGGGGHHHHHHH! :cry: :cry: :cry:

I just want my Keith back. That's all. I am sure he had all this time saved up and all, but DAMN! Out two days last week, out all THIS week...when he finally comes back I'm not even gonna recognize him!

"What's this? Who's the guest host on Countdown this week? Some gray-haired guy in glasses...never seen him before in my life."

25. Gidget really DOES look down.
I've always liked her. I hope nothing bad's going on, but I tell ya, I can't shake this vibe that something's going on with that show...

26. I just came to post that! :)
It also looks as if that interaction between them was pre-taped. The camera cut at the end was too abrupt.

Maybe they won't give her enough stories?

I have no doubt that something's going on with it. My guess is with the increased ratings and the re-vamped schedule and the competition the network is screwing around with things.

As long as Alex Witt or Chris Jansing aren't the substitute hosts, I can't complain. But if Alison can't do it, or you guys feel like changing it up, why not give Mon a chance?

28. I'd totally watch Monica, no problem.
She's proven she has a sense of humor doing the late, much lamented news quiz.

My gut instinct is that there's more to this. Keith's gone too much. The ratings haven't been good lately. You have Rita Cosby coming on in a blaze of publicity. If I worked there, I'd be stressed, too.

30. Rita Cosby?
Isn't she a fox news porn star lip gloss person?

But she is getting tucker's prime time slot. He is on his way out the door.

31. Yeah, and actually Countdown's ratings have been pretty good this week.
Usually they drop by about 100,000 when Keith's not there. This week they're holding pretty strong. Strange.
