Hot O'Reilly-on-Colbert Action
So, it turns out that agreeing with every word Bill O'Reilly says is the best way to keep him from shouting at you, cutting your mike, or ripping off the top of your skull to consume the sweet delicious grey matter within (we don't want to SAY that Bill O'Reilly is a brain-eating zombie, but the odd rumor's popped up). At least, this is the lesson we learn from O'Reilly's appearance on Thursday's Colbert Report and Colbert's appearance on Thursday's O'Reilly Factor.
It's hard to tell from these clips whether or not O'Reilly is truly in on the joke, but you have to admit that it's big of him to appear on a show that is an acknowledged satire of his livelihood. Sure, O'Reilly has it coming, but that doesn't mean we thought he'd ever admit to it.
"If you're an act, then what am I?" Oh, Colbert. You're what you've always been: exactly what an increasingly ironic America needs. Someone who tells us lies, because that's the only way we'll ever figure out the truth.
