Big Day for O’Reilly, Colbert
By Steve Donohue -- Multichannel News, 1/9/2007 5:55:00 PM
Expect some big laughs next week on Fox News Channel and Comedy Central, with network stars Bill O’Reilly and Stephen Colbert scheduling appearances on each other’s shows.
O’Reilly, star of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, and Colbert, host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report,agreed to appear on each other’s show Thursday, Jan. 18. Colbert will appear first on The O’Reilly Factor at 8 p.m. (EST), and O’Reilly will return the favor at 11:30 p.m. with an appearance on The Colbert Report, which follows Comedy’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Colbert often pokes fun of O’Reilly on his mock news program, and O’Reilly, who has taken the jibes in stride, has been known to poke fun at Colbert.
“I look forward to the evening. It is an honor to speak face-to-face with a broadcasting legend, and I feel the same way about Mr. O’Reilly,” Colbert said in Tuesday’s announcement.
O’Reilly responded, “I’m really looking forward to speaking to a man who owes his entire career to me.”

Again I would like to make mention the supreme arrogance of Mr. O''Reilly. It seems Mr. O'' Reilly would be better off reporting the facts of news instead of interpreting the news. His insensitivity regarding Shawn H. and the ordeal this boy endured the past 4 years is horrendous! How dare Mr. O'' Reilly suggest this child was a willing participant to the life style he had to force himself to live in order to survive. How dare Mr. O'' state the kid probably just did''nt want to go to school. This boy was most likely tortured with sinister threats to his mind, body, and soul for months before he was allowed to wander his apartment complex and such. The 300 lb. monster he was forced to live with did not seem like an amature to "brain washing" The only way this kid could cope was to submit to this beast! Imagine a 100 1b. 11 yr. old being subjected to this. And if that is''nt enough, poor Shawn''s family and the hell they went through as well! Now Mr. O'' Reilly with his smug ugly, discusting comments glooms another dark cloud on Shawn and his family. How can this kid ever heal with the dishonorable likes of Mr. O'' Reilly and others like him. Bill O'' Reilly is suppose to be an intelligent man, to me he is a small man with small character.

Colbert is 1000 times more talented than O''Reilly...making fun of O''Reilly is just one of many many things he''s good at...
