VIDEO: Bill O'Reilly's producer on camera

I've been showing lots of clips of the Bill O'Reilly meltdown from his Inside Edition days.

Don't think it's quite over yet. I received this email late last week:

I saw your link to the Bill O'Reilly video in which he flipped out on his Inside Edition producer. What most people don't know is that there was a second camera rolling that night that caught the producer's reaction to O'Reilly's screaming.

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!”

I told you that Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert were going to make appearances on each other's show. That night has finally passed.

Watch the videos before they are pulled!

I like TV stunts like this. With Rosie O'Donnell on the loose, we'll probably get more of this.

Wouldn't it be great if the local TV stations did stuff like this. Tim Heller could compete with Dr. Neil Frank in a Houston weather forecasting contest.

VIDEO: David Letterman vs Bill O'Reilly

Here is the infamous clip of Fox News' Bill O'Reilly making a guest appearance on David Letterman this week. It's quickly becoming known as the "Bill O'Reilly is 60% Crap" video.

Now matter which side you're on - it's captivating TV.

On a related note, congrats to blogHOUSTON.net's editor, Anne Linehan, who appeared on the O'Reilly Factor Thursday night. She survived the O' Man!

Like I said in her blog's forums, this blog thing is taking off when the local bloggers are getting on national TV!

VIDEO: O' Reilly VS Geraldo

I sometimes wonder if a clip like this is the future of television news. As there is more and more competition, what will broadcasters have to do to stand out?

Is this the option?

In this clip, Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera go after each other like two rattle heads doing the two step in my Uncle Pappy's spit bag (I pretended I was Dan Rather for a second). In plain English, someone takes these two explosive dudes and pours a can, no make that a full tank of gasoline on them!

It's getting hard to keep up with whom O'Reilly is currently feuding with. I thought it was Rosie O'Donnell this week, guess not.

From last Friday's O'Reilly Factor. Bill is talking with Bernie Goldberg and Jane Hall about NBC's Tim Russert.

VIDEO: Bill O'Reilly's temper flares on old Inside Edition clip

Way before Fox News, Bill O'Reilly worked at Inside Edition (and ABC News). I showed you these clips before around this time last year.

But we hadn't seen anything yet.

Here is the Bill O'Reilly Inside Edition meltdown clip that keeps being pulled from YouTube and resurfacing. NSFW kids. Uncle Bill drops some F-bombs in this one.

WATCH THE VIDEO

If it gets pulled, watch it here.

VIDEO: Bill O'Reilly temper dance remix

The Bill O'Reilly Inside Edition blow up won't die just yet. That's because people on TV and on the Internet won't let it.

I had to laugh at what I found on BoingBoing. Someone took the now famous clip and remixed it into a dance video! WATCH THIS HILARIOUS CLIP (*NSFW for language!!!!)

So what does Bill think about all of the attention? He's laughing about it. SEE THAT CLIP

VIDEO: Bill O'Reilly anchoring ABC News

Love him or hate him, Bill O'Reilly used to work for ABC News. Here is a news brief from those days.

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

He has more hair, but then again so did everyone else back then. Where's the swagger or BS depending which side you're on. Sure he was a newsman at one time, but O'Reilly is an entertainer now. He knows how to put on a show and push buttons. That's why he has high ratings. If you watch his show, to me he comes off like he's winking at the audience.

This is the same guy who hosted Inside Edition after all. (Watch that here)

VIDEO: Little girl outdoes George Carlin

Here is a popular YouTube video that is really angering talk radio and cable news channels. It's of a little girl slamming Bill O'Reilly, Republicans and religion. NSFW!!!



Bill O'Reilly has done some attacking back on his show.

After watching the clip, it looks less like propaganda and more like a PR stunt that appears to be generating buzz for some band's new album release.

Update:
If I paid attention more, I would have seen this on the child's YouTube page:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: THIS VIDEO FEATURES A TALENTED YOUNG ACTRESS PLAYING A FICTITIOUS CHARACTER. IT IS A COMMERCIAL FOR THE BAND 'THE BASTARD FAIRIES' AND DIRECTED BY AN AWARD WINNING DOCUMENTARY FILM MAKING TEAM

Wow, some people are willing to do almost anything for attention these days. Was it child exploitation like the Fox News pundit says in the O'Reilly clip?

VIDEO: David Letterman vs. O'Reilly: Round 2

I actually watched David Letterman Friday night to see this. I wasn't disappointed.

Here is the video of Fox News' Bill O' Reilly sitting down with David Letterman on CBS. O'Reilly actually comes out with a sword and shield. Letterman responds, "That's cute you come out with toys."

It all goes down from there. Letterman was on the attack. Topics ranged from Iraq to Iraq and a little more Iraq.

Add Naymz and Spock to the list of social networks

One of my New Year's resolutions was to join every social network that comes out.

Today I joined Naymz and spammed invited a lot of people to join it with me. I also joined Spock. These sites make it so easy.

Some are calling social networks the spyware of the 21st century because of all the personal info that is being harvested. Yeah, but spyware never had such cool names!

Back on point, Naymz is a reputation network where you can see what others are saying about you. You can even earn points to get a higher ranking. People like contests.

I'm surprised Paramount and Gene Roddenberry's estate aren't going after Spock (still in beta) for trademark violation. Spock says it is a people search engine. I'm not so sure about Spock after reading O'Reilly's Radar. O'Reilly and Jeff Jarvis were going after the Spock employees in the comments. More on some of Spock's tagging and spider problems in Wired.

But after some early reservations, I threw caution to the wind and remembered my New Year's resolution and joined. Here is the Mike McGuff Spock page. After already 'inviting' contacts to Naymz, I decided not to notify them about Spock in the same night. I'm sure they appreciate it.

Want me to invite you? How else will you live long and prosper?

The Google of radio station Internet streams

Mark Ramsey of the Hear 2.0 Blog takes a look at a site that is trying to be the Google of radio station's Internet streams. It's called RadioTime:

For example, as I write this I can choose from 237 stations if I want to tune in Bill O'Reilly's "Radio Factor." What? The show's not in right now in your town? Chances are it's on somewhere, and RadioTime can help you find it.

That idea extends into genres too, for example alternative radio.

If for some reason you were in another city or country and wanted to listen to Houston radio, now you can see a list of our local radio stations' web streams. Next, click the one you want to listen to and enjoy.

Not all stations have a stream available. The site even appears to work with Firefox.

Vince the ShamWow guy gets remixed for Slap Chop Rap

Vince the headset wearing pitchman is now advertising the Slap Chop and the commercial has been remixed with auto tune and beats:

DJ Steve Porter didn’t intend to necessarily stir things up when he threw “a bunch of Auto-Tune” on an informercial hosted by pitchman Vince Offer. Rather, “Slap Chop Rap” was born out of boredom. “I became slightly disenchanted with the electronic and dance music scene,” Porter explains. “I reached a point where I wanted to try something different.” READ THE REST

Charlie Sheen interview dance remix and other stuff made of tiger blood

If you can't get enough of Charlie Sheen...good news, there is plenty of him to go around even though the AP says he was just fired from Two and a Half Men. The new King of All Media made up of "Tiger Blood and Adonis DNA" now has lots of content devoted to him and his "rock-star life."

Above is one of the many YouTube electronic dance remixes of his interviews. The one I featured has the most views and is known as the 'Bi-Winning Dubstep' remix.

Sheen now has his own Ustream show. Or at least he did Saturday night at 9pm central time [WATCH FULL VIDEO HERE].

In the car away from a computer? Catch the Charlie Sheen SiriusXM channel on satellite radio.

Even the ABC and NBC reporters who interviewed Sheen are getting famous after their 'exclusive' interviews.

As Sheen says, "Dying is for fools."
