Stephen Colbert Ruthlessly, Hilariously Mocks Keith Olbermann

(By Colby Hall, Mediaite) - One of the most underrated characteristics of compelling and entertaining television is the element of surprise. When viewers are entirely clear on what’s coming next, there is a much better chance that the effect will be funny (or at least interesting.) Take for example the following segment from Stephen Colbert, who took on the bravado and at-times bluster of the recently lesser employed Keith Olbermann which somehow impossibly ends up with an Olbermugg. Watch and learn.
