One of my television guilty pleasures would have to be blooper shows. And my favorite bloopers are the news bloopers because 1) they're live, and 2) they involve something that is usually supposed to be so serious and controlled. This clip of Bill O'Reilly going ballistic isn't from a live broadcast, but it's still pretty great.
It's from his days as anchor of the syndicated tabloid show Inside Edition (he was anchor from 1988 to 1995). What's funny is that, even back then, when nine out of ten people you stopped on the street probably didn't have any idea who Bill O'Reilly was, it still looks like he was egotistical and ready to destroy anyone who disagreed with him or irritated him in any way. It's actually rather shocking, no matter how many times you watch, the moment where he goes from being really peeved to "oh my God he's going to kill the cameraman and the stage manager." I wonder how Sting feels about being the person who inadvertently set Bill off?
Full video after the jump! Looks like CBS forced them to take down the video. But trust us, it was funny.
Update: Here it is.

There's another Bill in Hillary Clinton's life now. Talk show pundit Bill O'Reilly, who interviewed Clinton on his Fox News show,
The O'Reilly Factor this week. The interview covered a lot of territory, including the economy, high gas prices, illegal immigrants, the war on terror, and foreign policy.
All the presidential candidates have their strengths and weaknesses, but Clinton made a smart move towards unifying her platform by agreeing to the O'Reilly interview. Although they're on opposite ends of the spectrum politically, O'Reilly and Clinton showed that two diverse personalities can sit down together and have an intelligent debate about the issues without resorting to a screaming match.

I've mentioned several times in this space about my love for ESPN's
Pardon the Interruption, but I can always find a reason to say it again: I love this show! I mean, both Kornheiser and Wilbon rank several places higher than most of my family on my Kidney Donation short-list. I don't want to overstate the issue, but spending an afternoon eating pizza and watching
PTI makes me understand how Cartman felt when he
got own his own amusement park.
Soooooooooo happy.
As I was describing (yet again) to my wife how much I love the show, something occurred to me regarding all the other other millions and millions talking-head shows bouncing around my digital cable box: why don't any of them employ a stat boy?

Everyone has to start somewhere, and long before Bill O'Reilly made a name for himself on Fox News cutting mics, gesticulating toward the camera and telling people to shut up, he was the host of Inside Edition and getting to the bottom of this strange new phenomenon called Super Mario Brothers. College Humor has the video, and a very youthful Billy bookmarks the segment. The stuff in between is typical Inside Edition pabulum, though I was actually one of those nerds who would call the Nintendo hotline to figure out how to complete different levels. Nintendo was about as far as I ever went, though. If you were to sit me down in front of a PlayStation or an Xbox I'd probably start crying from not being able to figure anything out.

We know there's been an ongoing rhubarb between Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann for some
time now. Apparently O'Reilly is so incensed with Olbermann that the mere mention of the Countdown
host's name on his syndicated radio show will get you disconnected and banned from the show. On a recent show, a
caller was able to say this much: "I like to listen to you during the day, I think Keith Olbermann's show --"
before O'Reilly cut him off and then announced to the caller that his phone number would be turned over to Fox
security.
To be fair, I don't listen to Bill's radio show, so I can't say one way or the other how
"serious" he was being when he did this. If any of our faithful readers happened to be tuned in to the show
when this went down, I'd love to hear your take on it.

I may have to make a rare change in my viewing habits and actually
tune into the O'Reilly Factor this evening. Tonight marks the first segment of "Bloviate with Bill" a segment in
which regular joes (or janes) come on the show to debate Bill on any topic. The segment will air this evening and
tomorrow evening, and then again on the 14th and 15th, and then once again on the 21st and 22nd. Six people were chosen
to appear before the abrasive newsman by sending in e-mails explaining why they could hold their own against
Sir William O'Reilly, who I decided to knight just now for no reason. We'll see if Bill holds back any with these
"special guests" or if he'll come out with guns blazing per usual.
