ESPN’s Keith Olbermann explained his infrequent hosting as of late on Thursday’s “Olbermann,” telling his audience the effects of his shingles medicine is making him a “danger to humanity.”

“So let me tell you about shingles,” he started, explaining that the drugs he’s taking for his shingles are so strong, he didn’t feel the effects of breaking a ceramic, glass wall fixture with his head.
