Haha! I just realized that Chris Matthews' "HA" laugh is on Olbermann's "Oddball" segment

[Catherine Vincent]

He always plays some 3 second jingle that ends with some guying yelling "HA" just before he starts the daily "Oddball" clip. I think that's Chris Matthews! Next time "Countdown" is on, listen for it.

Did anyone else catch this or am I late on this?

1. No, I think you're right. And if it's not, it should be.

[Fredda Weinberg]

2. You are correct, sir! KO revealed it a long time ago n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

5. So that is him? I knew it!

Thanks for letting me know.

3. a long time ago i said that and was promptly told "Thats woody wood pecker"

and i said "No it's Chris Matthews" and they kept telling me i was wrong, well they aren't here anymore so to them i say HA!

[Catherine Vincent]

6. You've got a good ear.

I can't believe I'm just now realizing this. :)

10. Woody Woodpecker doesn't do a single HA! Whoever told you that has a tin ear!

Here's Woody: http://faultgame.com/images/woody2.wav

4. That's funny...

I've been watching for years and the exact same thing jumped out at me this evening. I've heard it, obviously, but it didn't really register -- duh!

7. You sooooo late

:shrug:
and that laugh is soooooooooooo annoying.
:hi:

[jgraz]

8. HA! Fair enough!

[MADem]

9. Of course it's Matthews. It's his trademark, and he's quite proud of it.

He oughta copyright it!

Olbermann can use it under the MSNBC auspices---all in the family.

11. It took me a *long* time to notice that.

I watch both shows almost every day, I always heard the Oddballs "Ha", and I never put it together till one day it hit me. Ha!

[DemoTex]

12. I've always thought it was the Tweetybird crow too!

HA!

And on Oddball, too .. how appropriate.
