Seeing as this thread got hijacked by someone who actually thinks that Bill O'Reilly could "win" (unreal), I decided to abandon ship, lest this person actually show up and ruin the day.

I think we're just gonna show up at the bar early afternoon and see if they'll play a later version of it.

Just curious: Did you also think that it would be "unreal" for Romney to win a debate against Obama prior to their first debate?

O'Reilly is gonna slaughter Stewart.
O'Reilly deals with facts in his show while Stewart's show is to just make people laugh.

I'm curious to see how much of a "debate" this will really be. Stewart & O'Reilly have gone from being tense adversaries to being happy squabblers, I wouldn't be surprised if they work together a little beforehand to make sure they put on a good show.

Yeah good point. It's all about ratings.
When their next show takes place (Monday) viewership will be more (my guess).

Well I would hope so. Otherwise his network, Comedy Central, is terrible at what it does.

That's why O'Reilly will demolish him.

You know, I really hope you're trolling, but in the event that you're not, I just find it hard to believe that there really are people with functional brains who think that Bill O'Reilly is capable of having an intelligent conversation, nevermind a debate. I mean, even some of the most right wing people I know will admit the fact that O'Reilly's incompetent in this respect.

If we're talking about the entertainment/humor factor, well yes, Stewart works for Comedy Central, but O'Reilly works for Fox News, which is hardly a "news" network by any stretch of the imagination.

I still want to see this while drunk, and I will, but I just don't think I could ever sit there in the same room with people who think that this is actually a debate between two equals, or others who think that Bill O'Reilly is a better at debating the "facts" than Jon Stewart. I would probably end up huddled in a corner, rocking back and forth, wishing the world would just black out.

Yes because it is unreal. Like unicorns.

That's one way to look at it. I like to think either Stewart knows enough facts that someone thinks he can hold his own against O'Reilly's facts, or someone thinks O'Reilly is just as big of a clown as Stewart is. Either way, should be entertaining.
