The APF news wire reported today (April 1st) that Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck have signed on for an experiment in reality television. For two weeks Beck and Olbermann will share a one bedroom Manhattan apartment while having all their interactions filmed by a camera crew.
APF spokesman Jason Knottgnus guaranteed reporters that “Keith and Glenn are really into this idea. They’ve promised to let us film everything! For two weeks they are going to do everything together but their shows.”
At the end of their two weeks together, Olbermann and Beck will discuss their experience on Oprah.
Although Olbermann and Beck have already signed onto the project, Fox News and MSNBC are still working out the details of either jointly airing the 14 episodes or possibly splitting the episodes between each network, depending upon how conservative or liberal the content.
Regardless of who airs which show, everyone agrees the name of the show will be “Armageddon.”
