"Keith Olbermann is to host a new late-night show on ESPN 2. Olbermann worked for ESPN and its spinoff network back in the 1990s, but famously left due to a contentious relationship with executives.  The newsman is returning to the cable channel to helm the one-hour chatshow Olbermann on Mondays through Fridays at 11pm ET from August 26. ESPN president John Skipper has described the journalist as &amp;quot;a one-of-a-kind personality&amp;quot; whose new series will be &amp;quot;appointment viewing&amp;quot;. Olbermann added in his own statement that he is &amp;quot;overwhelmed&amp;quot; to be returning to ESPN after 16 years. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been gone for 16 years and not one day in that time has passed without someone connecting me to the network,&amp;quot; the journalist commented.  &amp;quot;Our histories are indelibly intertwined and frankly I have long wished that I had the chance to make sure the totality of that story would be a completely positive one.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m grateful to friends and bosses - old and new - who have permitted that opportunity to come to pass. I&amp;#039;m not going to waste it.&amp;quot; Olbermann worked at MSNBC and Current TV in recent years. He ultimately parted with both networks in grand fashion as a result of clashes with his employers. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
