Colbert vs O'Reilly

Must see TV on cable. MediaWeek is reporting that Stephen Colbert and Bill O'Reilly will appear on each other's show:

On Jan. 18 at 8 p.m., the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report will take the hot seat for his first-ever guest stint on The O’Reilly Factor. After taping his show, O’Reilly will head across town to Comedy Central’s W 54th St studios to return the favor. O’Reilly’s appearance on The Colbert Report will premiere that same night at 11:30 p.m.

In a scripted exchange, Colbert said that he was looking forward to the evening. “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.

O’Reilly added, “I’m really looking forward to speaking to a man who owes his entire career to me!”
