Keith Olbermann was off-air last night for ESPN, and took to Twitter today to explain.
FYI regarding my whereabouts: I am suffering from shingles. If somebody comes up and says “Hey, want shingles?,” tell them “no siree Bob!”

To those asking, Shingles feels like you fell 3 flights. On to sharp poison ivy. Which then spontaneously combusts. Emitting toxic fumes.

Olbermann then linked falling on the wrong side of the all-important A25-54 demo to his health woes.
Seriously: I turned 55 last week, dropping me out of The Ratings Demo. Next day a knee buckled. Now this #WarrantyExpired

On when he will return, Olbermann says, “I’m day to day. We’re all day to day.”
