    ...as I said it probably would.

    Wow. That's going to be funny.
    By all accounts, O'Falafel is a fan of Colbert. Maureen Dowd pointed out that Colbert had to be a fan too, since he couldn't do such a good parody without being a fan of the show.

    “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.

    Classic.

    Looks like I'll be setting the Tivo to the Fox News Channel for the first time ever.

    Right now I'm thinking "if I forget to tape them, I'll just watch on YouTube"

    Looks like Mr. O'Reilly is desperate for ratings. He's got to be smart enough to know that the joke is on him. What is he going to say? I am a complete douche just like the guy you play.

    Get him Stephen.

    Oh yeah, he's desperate for ratings. ::)

    The guy has gone on practically every show there is (TDS, The View, Today, Oprah, Leno, Letterman, blah, blah, blah) since he's been on the air and now he's "desperate" because he's going on Colbert?

    Egomaniac? Check.

    Shameless self promoter? Check.

    Desperate for ratings? He's doing Colbert a bigger favor than Colbert is doing him, goofball.

    Guess O'Reilly missed the Correspondents Dinner.
