Any time you have an eponymous television show, it's quite noticeable when the central figure goes missing due to an unexplained absence. If you've been watching Olbermann in recent days, you may have noticed that the likes of Michael Smith and Pablo Torre are indeed not Keith Olbermann. The host finally took to Twitter today to explain where he's been and it's not pleasant. Not at all. Continuing what has been a horrible month for on-air sports personalities and nasty viruses and infections, Olbermann is out indefinitely with shingles…
FYI regarding my whereabouts: I am suffering from shingles. If somebody comes up and says "Hey, want shingles?," tell them "no siree Bob!"

It is mind-boggling to realize that I am dealing with a virus I contracted while JFK was still president #ShinglesCrisis

My apologies to my colleagues for adding to their work burdens, and to you tuning in without an explanation. You have the latter now.

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

Other than that it's not bad #GoodNightAndGoodLuck

First Bob Costas gets pink eye, then Keith Olbermann gets shingles. What's next? Jim Nantz better be very careful ahead of March Madness and The Masters…
