Remember the rumors floating around that MSNBC might be pulling the plug on Lawrence O’Donnell  and his show, "The Last Word"?

Even O’Donnell didn't know if he was going to get sacked or not? 

Well, it appears, since MSNBC had their best ratings book ever, the network has decided to keep O’Donnell on the payroll. 

The MSNBC host confirmed that he has signed a new deal, saying, "“I will be sitting right here talking about the James Comey hearing and everything else that happens next week and everything that happens for the next couple of years. ”

He also tweeted out the news late last night that he was staying put.

MSNBC has not made any comment as of yet.
