''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]''
O'Reilly has also written several books, some of them tie-ins to the show, some of them not. There used to be a radio show called ''The Radio Factor'', but that died in early 2009.
Line 8:
As with all [[Political Programmes]] please observe the [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement]] when adding examples to this page.

* [[Adam Westing]]: O'Reilly and his show appear in ''[[Iron Man (
** He also appears in [[Transformers: Dark of the Moon|the third Transformers movie]], interviewing former Sector Seven agent Simmons. The interview quickly devolves into an argument between the two over whether or not the US should continue supporting the Autobots.
** On an episode of [[Rizzoli and Isles]], O'Reilly ''yet again'' appears as himself. Many of his usual segments are mentioned, as Rizzoli's mother is a big fan of the show. Also, for some reason, he's covering the trial of a Boston gangster, which is a fairly large departure from his usual political analysis (although he does cover non-political subjects on his show from time to time).
* [[Balance Between Good and Evil]] / [[Balance of Power]]: Of the two people who alternate as serving as O'Reilly's replacement host when he's away, Laura Ingraham is to O'Reilly's right, and Juan Williams is to O'Reilly's left.
Line 17:
** "Caution! You are about to enter ''the'' No-Spin Zone."
** "Now, come ''on''...."
** "....the folks [at/of]...."
** "....left-wing loons...."
** "Plenty more ahead as the factor moves along...."
** "If you wish to opine...."
*** "Name and town, name and town, [[Rule of Three|name and town]], and no bloviating -- [[Self-Deprecation|that's my job]]."
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: O'Reilly's sense of humor is generally this, making a few absurd remarks toward "crazies" like Beck and Ingraham or those on the left like Mark Lamont Hill or Colmes who he interviews regarding their various theories on this and that, seemingly giving a more reasonable view on situations than most others. Also, when he and [[Stephen Colbert]] squared off on the Factor, it was O'Reilly's Deadpan versus Colbert's over-the-top [[Large Ham]], and it was a battle worthy of song...
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QquTUR9nbC4 But don't take our word for it.]
* [[Face Heel Turn]] / [[Heel Face Turn]]: Arguably, and definitely not a black-and-white case ever since Obama became president. Has occasionally broken ranks with more hardline right-wingers, such as his foils Glenn Beck and Laura Ingraham, on a semi-regular basis now, and has caught some flak for it from a right-wing radio host or two.
* [[Hot
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: When he was in college, he used to play football, and it's clear from older videos of him like all the way back when he was on Inside Edition that he used to look quite different before he became old. He [[Lampshade|lampshades]] this whenever he can.
* [[Jerk
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Like all political pundits he likes to pitch himself as the [[Only Sane Man]] in the American media (about which [[Your Mileage May Vary]]).
** Hell, he and Jon Stewart are practically [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] when O'Reilly is on [[The Daily Show]].
*** And Jon Stewart himself has gone on record as saying that O'Reilly's sanity level as compared to the rest of the people on Fox News is like being "the skinniest kid at Fat Camp." O'Reilly has [[Never Live It Down|never let Stewart live this comment down]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The [[Hot
* [[The Rival]]: It's not quite as heated as it used to be, but [[Countdown
** There was also an informal agreement between the heads of Fox News and MSNBC.
** Nowadays, O'Reilly's primary rival is [[Jon Stewart]], with whom he has enjoyed lively, tough, and powerful debates with every time they've appeared on each others' show.
