Keith Olbermann is coming back to ESPN’s airwaves.
The outspoken sports and politics commentator has been granted an “expanded role” with the Disney-owned sports broadcasting giant, a Friday report from New York Post claims.
“Since we started this, my sixth separate tenure with ESPN, in January, I’ve found the variety of assignments to be the most fun and energizing of all my stints,” he said in a statement on his new gig. “Adding stuff, like being a rookie 59-year-old play-by-play guy, plus the Rip Van Winkle of SportsCenter, only adds to the smorgasbord. Can’t wait, and at my age, I shouldn’t.”
Following the self-cancellation of his short-lived, #Resistance-themed GQ web series, Olbermann quietly signed a contributor deal with the network, but now he’ll be handling several on-air assignments, allegedly starting with calling the Yankees-Astros game on Memorial Day.
