"Can you say Ramadan on Fox News?"

This is a great unedited interview with Jon Stuart and Bill O'Reilly. Stuart demonstrates his true brilliance as he walks the tight rope that is an O'Reilly interview. Throughout the interview O'Reilly tries to trap Jon Stuart by making sweeping generalizations and cutting down straw men while Stuart tactfully avoids them all while making excellent points and still being hilarious (although only one person somewhere on the set was actually laughing at his jokes).

I remember when I used to watch Bill O'Reilly with my mom and would marvel at how they could let someone like him on television. Now, as the interview points out, Bill O'Reilly is one of the more boring, middle of the road guys on Fox. He actually graduated from my high school and came to speak at career day. You wouldn't think it possible but he is a way bigger asshole in person. During his speech he managed to shoot down both women and the underclass before answering pre-screened questions from students (the year before some kid asked him about his sex scandal and it did not go well).

  2. I'm sure they are both aware that it makes their ratings skyrocket.
