As TVNewser reported yesterday, MSNBC’s “Countdown” host Keith Olbermann was a guest on the first edition of “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” last night, joining Vice President Joe Biden.

While O’Donnell told us that Olbermann would be giving him advice on hosting a new show, the topic of conversation took a more serious turn, with the two wonking out over tax policy:

Olbermann did have some friendly advice for O’Donnell at the end of the segment, however.

“I can not thank you enough for getting me started on this new show,” O’Donnell said to Olbermann.

“You are very welcome and keep them there until 11 o’clock,” Olbermann quipped.
