good article, this is the ending.
I think his agent is the same as Scott Pelley, yes I'm right.
“Tense” is probably as good a descriptor as any for the down-to-the-wire negotiations in which O’Donnell and his William Morris Endeavor agent, Hollywood powerbroker Ari Emanuel, finally concluded a new contract this week, mere days before the old one was set to lapse on Sunday.
Lawrence O'Donnell on Dealing With Trump Grief—And Making Nice With MSNBC
Lawrence O'Donnell is 'completely horrified and uncomfortable' that his contract fight with MSNBC became public--but, with it resolved, is focused on scrutinizing President Trump.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s short national nightmare is over.
But—to hear MSNBC’s 10 p.m. host tell it—America’s longer one, the presidency of Donald Trump, is only just beginning.

O’Donnell said his breakthrough moment came on Jan. 12, when a Quinnipiac Poll was released indicating that a plurality of Americans, even some Republicans and Trump voters, didn’t much like, respect or trust Obama’s successor.
“It was hugely important to me when I saw that poll. It crystallized for me how the country saw this president—and, in early January, people did not know that they were not alone,” O’Donnell said, noting that, after all, Hillary Clinton received three million more votes than Trump, who became “an accidental president” courtesy of the quirks of the Electoral College. “People had gotten overwhelmed by a country they did not understand, that elected this person they don’t understand.”
That night, Jan. 12, O’Donnell devoted the top of his show to the theme, “You’re not alone”; channeling the resistance to the 45th president has been his organizing principle ever since.
“Now we don’t have to tell anyone in America that you’re not alone if you disapprove of Donald Trump, and now the country is living with a suspense in their presidency that it has not had since 1974”—when Nixon was forced to resign to avoid impeachment amid the escalating Watergate scandal.
“The dynamism of the news day is unlike anything that has ever existed in the history of cable news,” said O’Donnell, sounding genuinely energized by the prospect of owning a ringside seat and bully pulpit over the next couple of years. “I’ve often wondered what it would have been like if we’d had cable news during the Vietnam War and Watergate,” he said. “And now we know.”
