I remember when O'Reilly's one-time appearance on Colbert Report was a huge event. Now he's been on the Late Show four times, and they're like best friends.
I still think we don't have the right comedians, especially at this most ironic of times. Colbert is not as funny on the Late Night. Is it the writers? OR may be he makes enough now to not show the creativity. The interview with Obama was childish too, plus the interview with Bill O'Reilly was weak. It was literally like watching the TV show in the novel, Hunger Games, while the whole planet is about to burn.
SK B it's because he's not in character anymore and on this show he's just being himself. I think if we didn't know how amazing he was on the CR he'd seem a lot better, but we are always expecting his amazing talent for satire and his quick wit that we are let down when he changes gears and does a much more routine nightly show.
patrialibre12 that's part is his persona like Colbert's on Colbert Report. He knows people confuse talking over someone as the same as being right. I can still respect although I don't agree with him. He's seems earnest in his convictions and stands by what he says.
This should be a great example to everyone of how real men act. Even though they have huge differences between them, they can still sit down and have a calm conversation without yelling or calling people names.
Hayden Clifford This is an example of how political debates should be done.In a calm and civilized manner,where you can respect each other,even though yoi habe different views.
Unfortunately a growing number of young misguided men think that being respectful, decent and acting composed towards your political opponents is being "politically correct". Therefore it's better to be a tantrum throwing, loud-mouthed bully throwing personal insults to prove how "independent" and "alpha" you are. It's quite sad many are turning their backs on civil debates/conversations, made to believe that acting like the primary school bully is the way to get respect.
Yes, I agree. Although it's not a consistent thing for Bill O'Reilly. He is reasonable when it suits him, and a screaming bully when it suits him. Stephen on the other hand is a real gentleman all the time.
Rowan Atkinson ikr hahaha, I like watching Bill O'Reilly but I'm a progressive. I think he's a brilliant broadcaster and is far more entertaining than chris hayes or Anderson Cooper
I swear every time he's on Colbert's show he seems so much more reasonable and level-headed than compared to him on his own show. Even when Bill did that debate with Jon Stewart I found myself even agreeing with some of the points he made. Makes me wonder how much of a front he might put on his show.
Christina Barrington On the other hand, if what he puts out on his show is what he expects others to listen to, persona or not, that deserves some level of scorn. Even if Fox rewards that sort of nonsense. At least we have Shepard Smith, hero of America.
no, fuck Bill. he is on a book tour, and is playing you. Appearing genuine is what makes O'Reillys Fox viewers so misinformed. look into his personal life, it's not pretty.
Bill is a Pretty reasonable dude when he's not on his own show Sure he believes some dumb shit IMO But whatever he has that right as long as he's willing to have a conversation with the opposition I don't have an issue with it
I think they actually do... sometimes it can actually be fun to hang out with someone who you disagree violently with AND who doesn't expect you to change your mind.
Oh also fun trivia: on the debate i mentioned above when asked about immigration reform Stewart says illegals should be given a path to citizenship (and mocks the idea of a big wall ...) Bill agrees and says "you should be humane" albeit he claims it's the federal gvt fault (which at the very least is not insane and actually somewhat reasonable).. Yeah, that's the difference right there..
How is O'Rielly such a decent-sounding guy on other peoples' shows and such a jerk on his own? Maybe he should just make a living doing appearances like bob Hope.
If you even go back to all his appearances on the Colbert Report, he's pretty damn reasonable on those appearances as well! It's a bit of a culture shock, but I think his personality on his own show is an obvious ratings-bait.
When Colbert went on O'Reilly's show back in the day Papa Bear picked on him because he pronounced his Irish name like it was French. Colbert quoted him in the foyer joke.
yea its surprising to see he actually seems human here, maybe he has calmed down over the years, i dont know, havent watched clips from his show lately
It would be great if some genuine Republicans also didn't want a Christian theocracy, so the U.S. could have more of a viable political spectrum rather than "reasonable but centrist" vs. "crazy".
You are part of the problem Markus. Painting one group as crazy and viewing your own side with so little scrutiny is what is done on both sides of the isle and that polarizes the country. It's just not true either, Dems had to nominate one of the most corrupt and unprincipled U.S. politicians ever, because the only other option was a 73 year old socialist sjw with incredibly naive foreign policy.
Chris S I'm a Canadian. Considering the way the country I live in is, I think Bernie would've gotten the U.S. off to a good start at least. I didn't get the impression he was "SJW", is that just a go-to insult or us there evidence behind that?
I disagree with Bill a lot. I mean. A LOT. But I think he's a legitimately intelligent guy that just has some deeply rooted misconceptions. Seems like he would be a fun guy to grab a drink with and talk about anything but politics. Unless you're feeling feisty.
Papa Bear is like the final boss-battle of beer-politics; if you can best him and still retain your sanity, you may indeed call yourself Champion. I would like to try, but I suspect I would leave neither sane nor Champion..
It's more the pressure from the network causing him, and many others at fox news, to act the way they are. By no means am I absolving them from being champions of such horrible content, but they are clearly intelligent people and their MO works for them nicely, no matter what we say. Fox news is more like a play. The writer is terrible, the script is horrifying, but the actors are good at their jobs.
I live in a Red State where talk radio blares from every speaker (it is inescapible) and the Republicans are really up shit creek with Trump and know it. None of the talking heads like him. Some react by trying to put chocolate sauce and caramel on it so that they can pretend Trump is ice cream and not shit and others straight up hate him and have given up to Hillary, pretty much. O'Reilly is being honest here - Trump is the worst thing to happen to his party in a long time. I'd pity them but, frankly, they have only themselves to blame for him getting the nomination.
How people fail to see this is beyond me. This man does damage to the country every single day and there's people praising this piece of shit because of a 10 minute interview where he knows he can't be his normal repulsive self.
ajwall1 I suspect that he overplays the conservative stuff on his network to appeal to his viewers, but tones it down significantly around this more liberal audience.
+Harshit Malik - Well... yeah. In the past, I always thought he was an asshole even outside of his show. But recently he's like a reasonable man. To be fair though, he's on Fox News and I can't really tell who's for real and who's playing it up there.
I can understand the comparison between Trump and the Catholic Church (abusive to women, decrepit, rich, doesn't pay taxes, etc.), but the Pope isn't nearly as preachy as Bill O'Reilly.
Taxeros that is true, but this is a trap that many religious people fall into: in science we don't need to have absolute 100% certainty of a proposition's truth value to consider it valid, nor does a theory need to be absolutely all-encompassing with all the details worked out and no questions left, for it to be useful and a good model of reality (within certain limits).
pizda matii Correct scientific theory is a model that best explains the facts (observations, data etc) it has to make testable predictions therefore can be falsified. if the predictions can't be confirmed then the Theory is either modified or rejected. I'm reality theories are more often refined as more data becomes available and more tests are made or become available.
exactly, i hate the positive comments about him, humans have such a short attention span, theirs been times when trump sounded sane compared to bill man fuck him
It's wrong to give someone props for being kind because normally they're not? So damned if you do and damned if you don't? Besides that Bill is usually somewhat reasonable, and always acts as a good debate counterpoint to Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. I kind of wish we could have a version of the Daily Show with both a liberal and a conservative viewpoint, instead of just Noah's liberal viewpoint.
When may we give him thumbs up then? If someone says something which is factually correct, you ought to judge that something on its own merits, not the person uttering it. See, this is why politics is the partisan shit show it currently is, and arguably why it always has been..
Taxeros research the bullshit opinions Bill orielly has said on his show, this maybe a bit to extreme but Colbert might as well have david duke on his show saying 2 plus 2 equals 4, at least hes saying something factual right?
StyxTBuferd this isn't "damned if you do and damned if you don't", this is damned if you do and he just happened to not "do" in this one specific video
Stephen and Bill are actually hilarious together. I think Bill should come on about once a month and have these talks with Stephen. I like these sort of gentlemanly clashes of ideology that's not explosive or bombastic, and they seem like they enjoy it.
What republicans realize now is three things: 1. Donald Trump is not winning. 2. He has proven himself many times to be a terrible person, let alone stable and knowledgeable enough to run a country. 3. If they act like they stopped supporting him after the sexual assault brag, they will be held accountable less. Also for the future they know not to accuse the president of being born in another country just because they haven't seen his birth certificate, and calling him muslim as if its a terrible insult.
Colbert and O'Reilly always always always a great thing to watch. The synergy is solid between the two and each have visited each other in their respectively shows.
O'Reilly acts better on Colbert's show than anywhere else, but I really think the man doesn't need another platform. Could he try _not being crazy_ on _his own_ show?
You are right. I don`t agree with the guy, but he did mellow out. Took him long enough. Weird thing is, I kinda like him. He has a pretty good sense of humor.
If you are basing the insane remark off of his show, that is not really his true character, its a embellished partisan view. Interviews like this are more along the line.
I cannot believe I'm actually saying this, but I really like Bill O'Reilly in this video. I know how a person acts on camera does not accurately portray how they behave in real life, but I've always imagined Bill as a more bullheaded like individual. Here he seems like a genuinely cool sought of guy who would be fun to chat with and hear his opinions on American politics.
As someone who was born in Indiana, traveled, and now lives in Japan, believe me when I say that anywhere a Hoosier goes that isn't Indiana means we're having a blast.
I absolutely HATE saying this... But for some strange reason, when Bill O'Reilly is not hosting his own show I actually agree with 90% of his opinions and feel like he's not actually that bad a guy. On his show however? A complete and utterly insane, ignorantly pompous idiot. I almost feel like he does it on purpose, because the guy in this interview seems like a completely different person.
On Fox News, being fair and reasonable and intelligent will not produce good ratings. So he acts like a ratbag because his viewers are ratbags, and this is the way to get ratings.
someone enlighten me, what is the meaning of keeping on repeating I don't use anonymous sources then say it as a fact on his show? Is it using or not using?
It's like "pushing a narrative" while adding a disclaimer that says "may or may not be true". Then the people watching his show ignore this disclaimer (tbf, almost everyone ignores disclaimers) and then when someone says, "Hey wait! That's not actually true! Here's the facts that prove it," Bill can say, "You should have read the disclaimer!" Win - Win.
Two Irish-American Catholics who disagree on a lot, but manage to get along. Stephen always gets uncomfortable when Bill mentions the Colbert last name because it's actually pronounced COAL - BURT, not that French sounding COAL-BEAR. Stephen changed the pronunciation to the French sounding version for fame, or that's the supposed story on that. You can look that up in an old appearance Stephen made in Bill O'Reilly's fox news show, "The O'Reilly Factor" (also look up Wikipedia and biographies of Stephen). I'm a democrat and I support Hillary no doubt, but I think Bill does made some interesting points which I think are true: Not everyone on Fox News likes Trump. Examples: Shepard Smith, Juan Williams, Dana Perino, Charles Krauthammer, Bret Baier, etc. I don't even think Brit Hume likes Donald. THIS DOESN'T MEAN THEY SUPPORT HILLARY, BUT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW UNQUALIFIED AND ILL PREPARED TRUMP IS. And of course, Bill O'Reilly himself probably doesn't like Trump for president, even though he's pretty friendly with him.
What do you know, Bill got smarter once he had to examine why he's in the same party as Trump. Self examination does wonders on one's understanding of things.
no he's a scumbag. www.politicususa.com/2016/08/23/fox-news-falling-eyes-bill-oreilly-accused-sexual-harassment.html gawker.com/bill-o-reilly-loses-custody-of-children-in-new-york-cou-1761303124
I wouldn't say that he's an awful person. I don't agree with him on everything (or most things for that matter), but he seems like an honestly nice person most of the time.
Shame Shame sorry for my english, i'm not stating my race, i'm stating that i'm outside USA, i write it wrong, i shouldve said i'm from asia, i dont know much about american politics, and i dont really know bill o'reilly, if he is actually nice person then my bad
Arif Rachman Oh that's different. Personally, I find him not too bad. He has made mistakes before I will not deny, but he seems like he is trying his best to be unbiased.
As someone who lives in Indiana, I'm gonna say Bill's right. It sucks here. It's flat, everyone's overweight and people's yards are littered with Trump signs and Confederate Flags even though we're a northern state.
Kind of strange seeing them talk on an agreeable level.
Whoawtf Stephen Colbert and Bill O'Reilly conversing like two adults while the candidates bicker like children.
I remember when O'Reilly's one-time appearance on Colbert Report was a huge event. Now he's been on the Late Show four times, and they're like best friends.
There was one video of Stephen on the O'reilly Factor, and they sounded like they wanted to slaughter each other.
I still think we don't have the right comedians, especially at this most ironic of times. Colbert is not as funny on the Late Night. Is it the writers? OR may be he makes enough now to not show the creativity. The interview with Obama was childish too, plus the interview with Bill O'Reilly was weak.

I think if we didn't know how amazing he was on the CR he'd seem a lot better, but we are always expecting his amazing talent for satire and his quick wit that we are let down when he changes gears and does a much more routine nightly show.
Gotta respect that Bill not only goes on these shows, but he takes every joke with good humor. It's kind of awesome
Meanwhile someone else shout angry comments at his radio show
Lee GaryB I would respect him even more if he let the people he invites on his show talk.
patrialibre12 that's part is his persona like Colbert's on Colbert Report. He knows people confuse talking over someone as the same as being right.
I can still respect although I don't agree with him. He's seems earnest in his convictions and stands by what he says.
He's an arrogant imbecile and I don't have to respect him.
Mac McGruff 0p
This should be a great example to everyone of how real men act. Even though they have huge differences between them, they can still sit down and have a calm conversation without yelling or calling people names.
Hayden Clifford This is an example of how political debates should be done.In a calm and civilized manner,where you can respect each other,even though yoi habe different views.
For any real grown up, calm conflict resolution is expected. But somehow it doesn't apply for this election
You should watch the debate between O'reilly and Jon Stewart, they couldn't have been further apart, but they respect each other.
Unfortunately a growing number of young misguided men think that being respectful, decent and acting composed towards your political opponents is being "politically correct". Therefore it's better to be a tantrum throwing, loud-mouthed bully throwing personal insults to prove how "independent" and "alpha" you are. It's quite sad many are turning their backs on civil debates/conversations, made to believe that acting like the primary school bully is the way to get respect.
Yes, I agree. Although it's not a consistent thing for Bill O'Reilly. He is reasonable when it suits him, and a screaming bully when it suits him. Stephen on the other hand is a real gentleman all the time.
I kind of love the warm hate-friendship these two have developed, to tell you the truth.
Rowan Atkinson ikr hahaha, I like watching Bill O'Reilly but I'm a progressive. I think he's a brilliant broadcaster and is far more entertaining than chris hayes or Anderson Cooper
I swear every time he's on Colbert's show he seems so much more reasonable and level-headed than compared to him on his own show.

Because he's kept honest.
If you don't have a smart adversary to keep you on your toes, you become lazy.
Karl Thomson I fail to understand your comment. You might want to express yourself in complete sentences.
You might disagree with Bill O'Reilly, but he is a great guest; always willing to butt heads with Stephen and he never holds back. Respect.
Accept it for what it is; show business. If one bases ones opinions solely on information gathered from TV-shows, the true problem lies elsewhere..
agreed, never liked O'reilly but seem i like him more every time he appears with colbert
no, fuck Bill.
he is on a book tour, and is playing you. Appearing genuine is what makes O'Reillys Fox viewers so misinformed. look into his personal life, it's not pretty.
He's a great guest like Joseph Goebbels. Nothing but entertainment and validating the worst people in the country.
I don't understand the question, inquisitive baby.
It's kinda funny seeing Colbert and O'Riley getting along so well.
For sure. It's a good example for how people who might night agree on everything should act toward one another.
I loved watching Bill and Jon go at it. It was like watching family members argue.
Bill is a Pretty reasonable dude when he's not on his own show
Sure he believes some dumb shit IMO But whatever he has that right as long as he's willing to have a conversation with the opposition I don't have an issue with it
I think they actually do... sometimes it can actually be fun to hang out with someone who you disagree violently with AND who doesn't expect you to change your mind.

Bill agrees and says "you should be humane" albeit he claims it's the federal gvt fault (which at the very least is not insane and actually somewhat reasonable).. Yeah, that's the difference right there..
I'm so happy this show is back! Omg!!! Love you Steven and crew.
How is O'Rielly such a decent-sounding guy on other peoples' shows and such a jerk on his own? Maybe he should just make a living doing appearances like bob Hope.
100% agree. He actually seems reasonable here.
Because he does it on purpose on his show to pump ratings.
If you even go back to all his appearances on the Colbert Report, he's pretty damn reasonable on those appearances as well! It's a bit of a culture shock, but I think his personality on his own show is an obvious ratings-bait.
Nothing to See Here exactly, he's a good guy when he's himself off of fox.
Nothing to See Here So we can blame the Fox bubble on his crazy antics?
I always enjoy when Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert go head-to-head.
Amazing chemistry
i dont know but bill seems like a big ass arrogant prick
I used to think so too, but im starting to think he just really believes in his work so much that he comes off that way
When Colbert went on O'Reilly's show back in the day Papa Bear picked on him because he pronounced his Irish name like it was French. Colbert quoted him in the foyer joke.
Jauvid Moradi exactly. i like how colbert ended with 'suuuper pretentious' at the end too.
I love when these two talk.
Keenan McCarty
Man, I can't believe I enjoyed watching bill O'really
Same, and I used to hate him. He seems like he's matured.
thought the same thing
Reynaldo Martinez same...I was able to stomach it this time.
Dammit Colbert. Why did you have to make me like Bill O'Reilly.
Kevin McLaughlin Bill is different. He's not an asshole on purpose, he just genuinely has different values. Which is the way it should be.
This Comment Has Seemed to be Deleted
TeamInfernoGaming Yes that's my name, what of it?
Kevin McLaughlin
Kevin McNotLaughing
Damn! O'Reilly is really funny in this one.
yea its surprising to see he actually seems human here, maybe he has calmed down over the years, i dont know, havent watched clips from his show lately
Matt Parker
s, I have. Their debate had more substance in it than the presidential ones now.
Amazing what this election's done to even right wing pundits.
genuine Republicans don't bloody want Trump.
It would be great if some genuine Republicans also didn't want a Christian theocracy, so the U.S. could have more of a viable political spectrum rather than "reasonable but centrist" vs. "crazy".
You are part of the problem Markus. Painting one group as crazy and viewing your own side with so little scrutiny is what is done on both sides of the isle and that polarizes the country. It's just not true either, Dems had to nominate one of the most corrupt and unprincipled U.S. politicians ever, because the only other option was a 73 year old socialist sjw with incredibly naive foreign policy.
Chris S Sanders is not a socialist. Not at all. He was a social democrat and his ideas were logical to any democrat during the time of FDR.
Chris S
I'm a Canadian. Considering the way the country I live in is, I think Bernie would've gotten the U.S. off to a good start at least.
I didn't get the impression he was "SJW", is that just a go-to insult or us there evidence behind that?
I disagree with Bill a lot. I mean. A LOT. But I think he's a legitimately intelligent guy that just has some deeply rooted misconceptions.
Seems like he would be a fun guy to grab a drink with and talk about anything but politics. Unless you're feeling feisty.
Papa Bear is like the final boss-battle of beer-politics; if you can best him and still retain your sanity, you may indeed call yourself Champion.
I would like to try, but I suspect I would leave neither sane nor Champion..
It's more the pressure from the network causing him, and many others at fox news, to act the way they are. By no means am I absolving them from being champions of such horrible content, but they are clearly intelligent people and their MO works for them nicely, no matter what we say.
Fox news is more like a play. The writer is terrible, the script is horrifying, but the actors are good at their jobs.
He's a smart, agreeable guy who puts on a show for his audience. Unfortunately, his audience wants a jackass that's foaming at the mouth.
Just don't talk science with him.
"Tides go in, tides go out"
corruption it is called
He knows who the audience is. There's no way he'll win anyone over by attacking liberals so he played his best impression of an honest man
Carlos Gallon He hates Trump.
I live in a Red State where talk radio blares from every speaker (it is inescapible) and the Republicans are really up shit creek with Trump and know it. None of the talking heads like him. Some react by trying to put chocolate sauce and caramel on it so that they can pretend Trump is ice cream and not shit and others straight up hate him and have given up to Hillary, pretty much.

it's funny that he has to talk to Colbert to sound like a reasonable guy
Erm clay did you actually watch "The rumble in the air conditioned auditorium"? BIll didn't even come CLOSE to "winning". He was a fucking joke.
ajwall1
I suspect that he overplays the conservative stuff on his network to appeal to his viewers, but tones it down significantly around this more liberal audience.
+ Claystead What debate are you refering to? I would love to watch it.
What if Bill also plays a role on his own show like Colbert did?
+Harshit Malik - Well... yeah. In the past, I always thought he was an asshole even outside of his show. But recently he's like a reasonable man. To be fair though, he's on Fox News and I can't really tell who's for real and who's playing it up there.
So much tongue-in-cheek idk how quite how a new viewer would see this.
inviting Bill O'Reilly to attack Trump is like asking the Pope to defame the Catholic Church
yes !!
To be fair, a lot of Catholics are afraid that Pope Francis'll do just that, so it might not be completely out of the question.
AnderssonArad nah cause bills just a Republican not a psychopath
I can understand the comparison between Trump and the Catholic Church (abusive to women, decrepit, rich, doesn't pay taxes, etc.), but the Pope isn't nearly as preachy as Bill O'Reilly.
O'reilly doesn't really like Trump though. Now if Colbert can get Hannity to do that...
Don't the reptiles usually have a zookeeper when they're on the show?
They're off camera with a pole and loop.
david woodward omg XD haha
Jim Maughan `
This is my favourite comment I have ever seen on the internet
Jim Maughan Stephen.
Stephen is really good at being nice to some one while mocking them at the same time
last time these two met it was all out war, tonight seems tame in comparison
sammyyy93 it's his forté (another french word XD)
It was also the day after Orlando.
You know this election is screwed when Bill O'Reilly sounds reasonable.
Yeah it's like he just gave up lol
tide goes in, tide goes out [...] you can't explain that :)
To be fair to Papa Bear, we kinda don't know precisely what gravity is.. We do however know a thing or two about tides.. :P
Taxeros
that is true, but this is a trap that many religious people fall into: in science we don't need to have absolute 100% certainty of a proposition's truth value to consider it valid, nor does a theory need to be absolutely all-encompassing with all the details worked out and no questions left, for it to be useful and a good model of reality (within certain limits).

Just listen to that enthusiastic welcome.
I'm surprised they call it "foyer" and not "freedom entrance".
its funny that after a dude like Trump, O'Reilly starts to sound sane and normal.
I enjoy Mr. O'Reilly so very much in this video thank you sir.
since when is bill a human?!? I'm thoroughly confused.
this may be a sane discussion but you've still got to be out of your mind to give a Bill O'Reilly a thumbs up on anything
exactly, i hate the positive comments about him, humans have such a short attention span, theirs been times when trump sounded sane compared to bill
man fuck him
It's wrong to give someone props for being kind because normally they're not? So damned if you do and damned if you don't?
Besides that Bill is usually somewhat reasonable, and always acts as a good debate counterpoint to Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. I kind of wish we could have a version of the Daily Show with both a liberal and a conservative viewpoint, instead of just Noah's liberal viewpoint.

Stephen and Bill are actually hilarious together. I think Bill should come on about once a month and have these talks with Stephen. I like these sort of gentlemanly clashes of ideology that's not explosive or bombastic, and they seem like they enjoy it.
Stephen Colbert is pure class.
O'Reilly: The only Republican who is willing to go on liberal talk shows.
Nathan Roon Megyn Kelly went on one I think.
Kasich was on this show too
Trump has been on late night shows
Paul Ryan had a call with Stephen. Does that count?
You forgot Ann Coulter.
"Of course w believe you, you're Bill O'Reilly" 😂😂
lol at the audience's muted response to O'Reily
"big late show welcome" APPLAUSE "to bill o'reilly" OHHhhhmm
Doug Dolan right? haha
why does Bill always looks somehow rational when he's on other channels and shows, but as soon as he is on Fox "News" he becomes insane?
cause his job is to get ratings for fox news. They want him to be insane on the show, he'll do it.
Exactly, thats why they get so many people to watch, be insane. In reality, quite centrist.
What republicans realize now is three things: 1. Donald Trump is not winning. 2. He has proven himself many times to be a terrible person, let alone stable and knowledgeable enough to run a country. 3. If they act like they stopped supporting him after the sexual assault brag, they will be held accountable less. Also for the future they know not to accuse the president of being born in another country just because they haven't seen his birth certificate, and calling him muslim as if its a terrible insult.
That is his job description. That is literally what he is getting paid for.
ltzp2 Bravo. Yes.
"That's very elitist". Nice little jab. Stephen has always been sharp.
Colbert and O'Reilly always always always a great thing to watch. The synergy is solid between the two and each have visited each other in their respectively shows.
Edward Mar
notice how they are battling each other:) lol
I'd like to see these two have a conversation at this moment in time!
O'Reilly acts better on Colbert's show than anywhere else, but I really think the man doesn't need another platform. Could he try _not being crazy_ on _his own_ show?
I have incredible more respect for Colbert , I don't how he does it, but he somehow made things worked. Great job, Steven. I learned so much from you.
Bill oreily is not likeable man. Stephen Colbert is handling the conversation. The abrasiveness is reduced.
They were nice to each other, that's heartwarming to see.
O'Reilly's mellowed out a little bit but he's still batshit insane.
You are right. I don`t agree with the guy, but he did mellow out. Took him long enough.
Weird thing is, I kinda like him. He has a pretty good sense of humor.
If you are basing the insane remark off of his show, that is not really his true character, its a embellished partisan view. Interviews like this are more along the line.
itsamen I kind of like him too haha, I like the Colbert-O' Reilly dynamic here
It's actually nice to see these two laugh with each other considering their history.
he should have called him Papa Bear.
I cannot believe I'm actually saying this, but I really like Bill O'Reilly in this video. I know how a person acts on camera does not accurately portray how they behave in real life, but I've always imagined Bill as a more bullheaded like individual.
Here he seems like a genuinely cool sought of guy who would be fun to chat with and hear his opinions on American politics.
I like Bill O'Reilly when he acts sane, unfortunately he only does that like 0,5% of the time.
What did that dude yell at the beginning? lol
I'm just here waiting for Stephen to interview Al Franken.
That was a nice interview.
"There is no top." Ah, we are truly living in the post-truth era.
I spontaneously said Papa Bear exactly when Bill sat down and had to replay to make sure I didn't hear an echo
As someone who was born in Indiana, traveled, and now lives in Japan, believe me when I say that anywhere a Hoosier goes that isn't Indiana means we're having a blast.
i'm a hoosier too! hello!
WOW.... Audience responds w/no applause.
This is the moment where I like Bill O'Reilly
Johnyliltoe enjoy it while it lasts cause it won't
Ya, moment ended with the video.
I wouldn't mind Bill as president. Very level headed dude who is a good debater.
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that O'Reilly is great at being a terrible person
“Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda
That Bill guy, I literally hate him.
Well it sure beats hating him figuratively.
+Argumemnon LOL. That was good. :D
TIDE GOES IN TIDE GOES OUT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT!
After this year Bill will have an inspiration for his new book "Killing GOP"
Bill is an OK guy.
OH god please who did Bill O'Reilly Kill now
The "Rising Sun," probably because "Killing Japan" didn't test well with the key demographic of "empathetic human being."
Some people are disgusted.
And some people are disugsting.
Stephen should have asked whether Chris Wallace's statement that he won't fact check the candidates will be an issue during the debate.
I love this, both are out if their confort zone but both are easy to find common ground against Trump
Bill: We have a foyer.
Stephen: SUPER pretentious. Also the foyer is a little over the top.
Give those two a show.
I absolutely HATE saying this... But for some strange reason, when Bill O'Reilly is not hosting his own show I actually agree with 90% of his opinions and feel like he's not actually that bad a guy.
On his show however? A complete and utterly insane, ignorantly pompous idiot. I almost feel like he does it on purpose, because the guy in this interview seems like a completely different person.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like this
Bryan Fontez No, I totally agree.
Its the difference with studio producers barking orders in your ear and creating drama for ratings.
On Fox News, being fair and reasonable and intelligent will not produce good ratings. So he acts like a ratbag because his viewers are ratbags, and this is the way to get ratings.
These comments of Bill Being kind of a good guy didn’t age well lol.
I never, ever thought I'd be in agreement with Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly and especially the Bushes. The country has gone mad.
This guy needs to run for prez next time, I miss telling Republican friends, I disagree with you, but I respect your opinions.
Bill is always fair and partisan. An excellent journalist
Defending Trump is not easy in 2016? Try doing it in 2019 hahaha
That was a super-awkward almost-handshake at the entrance there.
someone enlighten me, what is the meaning of keeping on repeating I don't use anonymous sources then say it as a fact on his show? Is it using or not using?
It's like "pushing a narrative" while adding a disclaimer that says "may or may not be true". Then the people watching his show ignore this disclaimer (tbf, almost everyone ignores disclaimers) and then when someone says, "Hey wait! That's not actually true! Here's the facts that prove it," Bill can say, "You should have read the disclaimer!"
Win - Win.
mark9104. I have no idea, I thought only liberals do that.
Lol I love the weak cheers when Bill walked in. XD
How weird is it that this election cycle Bill O'Reilly seems like the voice of sanity?
It was so good how Stay Human broke into "Livin' for the City" when they went to commercial.
Two Irish-American Catholics who disagree on a lot, but manage to get along. Stephen always gets uncomfortable when Bill mentions the Colbert last name because it's actually pronounced COAL - BURT, not that French sounding COAL-BEAR. Stephen changed the pronunciation to the French sounding version for fame, or that's the supposed story on that.
You can look that up in an old appearance Stephen made in Bill O'Reilly's fox news show, "The O'Reilly Factor" (also look up Wikipedia and biographies of Stephen). I'm a democrat and I support Hillary no doubt, but I think Bill does made some interesting points which I think are true: Not everyone on Fox News likes Trump. Examples: Shepard Smith, Juan Williams, Dana Perino, Charles Krauthammer, Bret Baier, etc. I don't even think Brit Hume likes Donald. THIS DOESN'T MEAN THEY SUPPORT HILLARY, BUT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW UNQUALIFIED AND ILL PREPARED TRUMP IS.
And of course, Bill O'Reilly himself probably doesn't like Trump for president, even though he's pretty friendly with him.
What do you know, Bill got smarter once he had to examine why he's in the same party as Trump. Self examination does wonders on one's understanding of things.
Bill's got some balls coming on the Colbert show... they might be saggy and old, but they're out there.
He's done Colbert before, I think, and Colbert has done the O'Reilly factor.
hahaha those crickets in the audience when Bill was introduced :))
O'Reilly looks like a used car salesman.
Agree wit him or not (and I usually don't), Bill O'Reilly is a pretty decent guy and a man of his convictions.
no he's a scumbag.

i'm from asia, i dont know this guy, but he seems like an awful person
I wouldn't say that he's an awful person. I don't agree with him on everything (or most things for that matter), but he seems like an honestly nice person most of the time.
Shame Shame well I'm black and the sky is blue Dude.
Shame Shame
sorry for my english, i'm not stating my race, i'm stating that i'm outside USA, i write it wrong, i shouldve said i'm from asia, i dont know much about american politics, and i dont really know bill o'reilly, if he is actually nice person then my bad
Arif Rachman Oh that's different. Personally, I find him not too bad. He has made mistakes before I will not deny, but he seems like he is trying his best to be unbiased.
yep thank you guys for correcting my writing mistake T_T, still learn proper english
I actualy like to hear there locker room talk. I think it would be enjoyble to hear those to talk without any restricktions
20 years at fox, not because he's utterly unemployable anywhere else though, right?
As someone who lives in Indiana, I'm gonna say Bill's right. It sucks here. It's flat, everyone's overweight and people's yards are littered with Trump signs and Confederate Flags even though we're a northern state.
Wow, now that was funny. Awesome work.
Impressed with O'Reilly, never thought I'd see the day
The Bill O' Reilly Colbert interaction is always fantastic.
i love the O'Reilly interviews on the show. Colbert and him have a weird chemistry that's hillarious
I can't tell if these to like each other or despise one another.
I wish Stephen could invite Bill again now and ask him the same questions, that would be interesting 🤔
What the hell is up with O'Reilly's suit? Seriously, put a squirty flower in his lapel pocket.
In hindsight...
I welcome you Stephen.
Indiana loves you too!!!
