Colbert and O'Reilly

Public service announcement:

Tonight, Stephen Colbert and Bill O'Reilly will appear as guests on each other's show. It promises to be good television. Colbert is on at 11:30pm on Comedy Central and 12:30pm on CTV.

Fox News is hard to come by but does exist WAAAAAAAAAAAY up on some digital cable packages. 8pm and 11pm eastern.

For those of you who don't know why this will be fun - Stephen Colbert makes his living by lampooing the kind of TV show that Bill O'Reilly pioneered. There is no love lost between the two men.

The last time I saw Bill O'Reilly appear on the daily show he called Jon Stewart a pinhead.

I saw both of those appearances, and to say the least, I was disappointed. They mainly discussed the roles they each play, and how Colbert shapes his persona after O'Reilly. No jabs, far too civil.

I agree. Colbert got a few little jabs in, but I guess it's tough to have clash when one of the combatants is pretending to be a sycophant.
