Olbermann is in talks to return to the network that once employed him, the New York Daily News reported on Friday.
The former Current TV anchor, who has signed on to host TBS' postseason baseball coverage, is reportedly "in serious discussions" to host a late night show on ESPN 2. The show would air from New York.
