If you saw the Daily Show in mid-October, there was an interview with Bill O’Reilly, on the show to promote his book ‘The Factor’, for kids. Bill was very defensive and aggressive, more so then usual on his Fox box. The funniest moment occured when the audience began clapping when O’Reilly said he was thinking about retiring. O’Reilly proceeded to tell them to stop being French. Here is the video.

This comes after O’Reilly slammed Daily Show watchers as ‘pothead slackers. The interesting twist? The viewers of the Factor are stupider and poorer than viewers of the Daily Show. Oops.

Here is the data from Nielsen Media Research about the two shows:
