Yes, it was! Brian
Unger, former correspondent on The Daily Show, actor, comedian, essayist on NPR, and co-host of Extra
and O2Be, filled in for Keith Olbermann tonight on Countdown. I didn't recognize him at first, except
I had an "oh, that guy has been anchoring in the afternoons on MSNBC too" moment. And then one of his guests
called him "Brian" and then I slapped my head and said "doh!"Anyway, interesting to see a Daily Show alum anchoring a news program, even if it is one that's not just a straight news show but an all-around news show that mixes humor with the hard-hitting questions. (The show is repeated at midnight, Eastern time, if you want to catch it.)
