ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

It was a pretty bad impersonation.

I haven't heard anyone say it was good.

What would have been funny if they had thrown in a "special comment", and gotten ridiculous with the switching cameras.  That's also when he gets his most histrionic.

I like Olberman alot, and I think this was hilarious.

Pwnage.

I guess we all forget when KO said that HRC plan to be president was to hope BO was killed???

Or when KO said someone should take HRC into the back room and beat some sense into her???

The guy is scum and there is a reason he was kicked off the debates.  Because he is a hack.  He is not diffenent that Hannity, Billo, can Coulter.  He is a hater, period.

Sorry i must be a troll, McCain supporter, or a concerned troll and i need to go back to red sate dot come for saying the trugh.  Because you cant be a democrat unless to buy into KO, sorry.

I saw it last night, it was decent.  The voice was off, but the mannerisms were similar enough.  I have to say that McCain was pretty entertaining, though SNL took some shots at Palin in McCain's very skit, so I'm not sure if that reveals anything about his feelings towards her at this point in time.

heard that KO was in the audience when it was filmed...wonder what his reaction was.

what i noticed is Afflek had trouble not breaking out in laughter several times.

What i figure is KO keeps some sort of "balance" with Fox's "fair and balanced" Bill O, except KO is not ALWAYS outrageous.

I watch Keith and he definitely needs to be skewered on occasion.

HAHAHAHAHA... just for the look he gives after he rolls the George Bush tape.

It's a really good imitation.

his outrage gets a bit tedious b/c it's so heavy-handed.

Ben Affleck's version of KO wasn't funny. Stopped watching about 90 seconds into it.

KO can get pretty heavy handed, but the way it was played you would think he was the left's version of O'Reilly, he's not.

He clearly voices opinions, but not in a way that is so blatantly misleading like Bill O'.

This is yet another example of how we are so damn eager to toss anybody who rises to any prominence and spreads opinions to the wolves, while the Republicans circle the wagons.

If this would have actually been funny, I'd be into it.

I don't really see where KO needs to be treated with such heavy handed "satire"

the special comment was pretty good, but maaaaan, the rest of it was just tedious to me.

Affleck did a decent enough job though.

I guess since I supported Obama in the primaries i'm not so eager to see him torn down, eh?

I'm a KO fan, so of course I don't see him as 'our Bill-O.'  He does go over the top sometimes and he can be a little pompous occasionally.  Sure, some of the Special Comments are not called for.

Nevertheless, overall it's a good show and I rarely miss it or Rachel.

The impression was spot on at times, not as good at other times.  When he leaned over the desk and shook his face, it was funny as hell... though KO is usually being sarcastic when this happens so it's kind of a sarcasm-of-sarcasm deal.  The special comment and over-the-top outrage in the Special Comment over his apartment was very very funny, camera changes and conflation of personal disappointments with historical tragedies was funny as well.

Of course, I didn't see everything there as a personal critique of KO, some of it I saw as them just cramming a joke in where one would fit.  Ben seemed to think it was really funny, and I personally like it when the actors giggle a bit.

I wonder if KO will parody the parody of himself on SNL or invite Affleck on his show to talk about it?

I love KO's passion and have no problem with him not being a moderator or anchor on election night.  He's really best at being passionate about politics and Oddball stuff.  I generally find the anchors boring.  Let KO be KO and offer his opinions for us to enjoy.

I love KO, and I thought Affleck was hilarious.  Especially the Special Comment.

I watch KO most days, and didn't think the sketch was that great. I didn't perceive it as an attack on him or unfair, (there were bits that were way overblown, but I figured the goal there was comedy rather than an exact replication of Olbermann's personality,) I just thought the jokes were meh.
