Colbert Embarrasses Orly on his own show

Stephen Colbert stepped into the "no-spin zone" tonight to chat with his mentor, "Papa Bear" Bill O'Reilly. Download (828)
"This is an amazing honor. I want you to know that I spend so much time in the world that is spinning all the time, that to be in the no-spin zone actually gives me vertigo."
Colbert was in full right-wing, well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status-idiot-mode and kept O'Reilly on the ropes while getting in a few good jabs — like ripping on Bill's ancient audience.
To put this nonsensical myth to death, although O'Reilly refers to Daily Show viewers as "stoned slackers," MSNBC found that Daily Show viewers are actually more educated than those who watch The Factor. No-spin, indeed.


i'm looking forward to 11:30 when colbert makes him look silly.... again

there are plenty of stoned slackers that graduate college, and being a younger demographic they should have a higher percentage of college educated people

"Viewers of Jon Stewart’s show are more likely to have completed four years of college than people who watch “The O’Reilly Factor,” according to Nielsen Media Research."


I thought getting "stoned" and partying was what College is all about? Has it changed that much? So O'Reilly could be right then!

Colbert didn't break character at all, he did great

The whole thing was too quick, it was about 6 minutes

he acted like most of colbert's guests, only colbert was the guest

Alternating between trying to play "serious bill" and then having a smirk on like he's having a comical time

O'Reilly tried to make it into a joke because he knew otherwise he'd look stupid even to his own cult fans, that's why it could have felt fake
