The Worst Person In the World: And 202 Strong Contenders

By Keith Olbermann

All of the failings and missteps of celebrities, politicians, and a few just-plain-dumb folks, as seen on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann

Keith Olbermann is more popular than ever, and ratings for Countdown are up 85 percent over the last year. A key feature of the program is his daily award for "The Worst Person in the World." From Ann Coulter and Barbara Bush to Bill O’Reilly and more, he brings the best of his "worsts" together in a wildly entertaining collection that reveals just how twisted people can be–and how much fun it is to call them out on it.

Reviews for The Worst Person In the World

An excellent collection of the Worst Persons from COUNTDOWN; it's probably better to read this book in chunks instead of reading it all in one sitting, taking it one month of entries at a time. It's gotten me very excited for PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES' release later this year, that's for sure!

One year's worth of commentary from Olbermann's MSNBC TV show.

Parts of this book are very funny, and parts are interesting and serious. Putting the two parts next to each other doesn't work very well. Funny bits: 4 stars; serious bits: 3.5 stars; combination: 3 stars.

Great book, and extremely humorous, but I was looking for more than just transcriptions of past Countdown episodes. Worth a read, then pass it on.
