Stephen Colbert: Everyone On Bill O'Reilly's Show Thinks He's 'Insane'

[cal04]

(snip)

"I found out that I have upset someone very dear to me: Bill O'Reilly," Colbert said. "My mentor, my North Star."

(snip)
"It hurts me to know I hurt the man I admire most," he said. "Just as Bill would be hurt if he hurt the man he admires most: himself."

Colbert attempted, as best he could, to reassure O'Reilly that he really did support him.

"I wasn't mocking your plan," Colbert said. "I'm the only one who likes it. Everyone on your own show thinks you're insane."

1. It should have been ...

"I'm the only one who likes it. Everyone on your own show knows you're insane."

3. The problem is that Bill-0 isn't insane. The insane are paying him good money to

act insane.

4. Every actor becomes the role they play

You don't hear many "Bill is totally different behind the scenes" stories. Mostly you hear stories about how Bill is an egomaniac jerk to everyone at Fox. There's a reason Megyn Kelly sticks it too him when she can. That blow hard act isn't an act anymore. That's him.

[Johonny]

9. I'm guessing he's an insane asshole

12. he suffers from Jerk-itus. ;)

he contracted it early in his career.

It can usually be stopped via a blunt force to the ego.

However, if allowed to grow, it metastasizes into Jerk-itus.

5. Stephen was in great form last night

O'Reilly is really pissed that people do not think that his stupid idea makes sense

6. President O'Reilly

7. These Conservatives will NEVER learn that you should never pick a fight with a comedian.
