What does it take to be the most watched cable news show in the
United States of America? If you would like to know just ask the producers of The O'Reilly Factor. Since its launch in late 1996 The O'Reilly Factor's audience has grown to over 3.5 million viewers per night, and has broadcasted 4321 episodes as of August 6, 2008. Hosted by conservative commentator
Bill O'Reilly; The O'Reilly Factor is all about
news, political, and social issues. This show is always a breath of fresh air because most
news commentary shows today seem to be reading for the same script, there are hardly any original views and everything seems to be manufactured.
The O'Reilly Factor is presented in a "Live to Tape" manner except when there is
breaking news to be covered or special events to be featured. The show is carried out in an almost perfect manner with little or no mistakes and I would expect nothing less from Fox. The O'Reilly Factor has even featured presidential candidates; during the 2008 presidential election campaign senator Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama were both featured in interviews on The O'Reilly Factor. Surprisingly Sarah Palin choose not to appear on the program during this time.
Several parodies of The O'Reilly Factor have been made, most of which are in good taste. Shows such as The Boondocks, The Colbert Report, Saturday Night Live, and The Political Machine have all featured parodies of The O'Reilly Factor at one time or another, and
Bill O'Reilly has even appeared in a few of these parodies.
