TV show description:
Commentator Bill O’Reilly hosts this one-hour news talk-show.
This pre-recorded show that airs on weeknights is broken down into named segments: The “Talking Points Memo” segment discusses a current event while “Top Story” focuses on the most significant story of the day. “Impact” features a story about a crime or legal proceeding or the war and “Unresolved Problem” is usually a story in the media that O’Reilly feels isn’t getting enough attention.
“Personal Story” features a guest discussing a major event they were either part of or researched for a news program. “Factor Follow-Up” looks back at a previous story featured on the show and updates the audience on what has happened since it aired. “Back of the Book” is one of the final segments in which O’Reilly discusses any number of topics that weren’t featured earlier in the show.
“Pinheads and Patriots” highlights one person working toward the good of the United States and another who O’Reilly feels is working against the nation. And in “Factor Mail,” O’Reilly reads his e-mails from viewers.
O’Reilly’s guests tend to be from opposite viewpoints, politically and socially, and the host often gets into heated discussions to give his opinion on issues or events affecting the American public.
Series Finale:

Yep I’m done with Fox News channel,I use to have it on all the time and I dvr the factor, but I’m done now.
I just pray that he gets another show so my Mom and I can watch him again,what a horrific loss
You’re greatly missed Bill O’ Reilly God Bless you and your family.
I wish employers had more backbone than they showed with you and other situations that have arose on other networks. Hope and will be looking for you in the future. If there was no evidence and I doubt if there was and the opposite party was probably just looking for a payoff but believe what goes around will come around.
Bill, you will be missed! The decision to cancel your show was a terrible decision. Wishing you great things on your new journey.
The Murdoch’s became billionaires on O’Reilly’s talent. Now when the going gets tough, they bail out. These executives should take a conflict resolution class and learn about staying at the table to resolve conflict. Bring back Bill O’Reilly. When all the evidence is revealed, The Murdoch’s will come back with their tails between their legs. This is truly a disappointment and leaves a terrible void in the lives of many.
Firing Bill O’Reilly is Fox News loss. Bill O’Reilly is an intelligent and well loved man of integrity and honesty, and will move on to bigger and better!! Had I, in my younger years, reacted to comments from the opposite sex, and applied the tactics the women involved used to achieve Bill O’Reilly’s termination from Fox, I could conceivably be a billionaire today!! However, I wouldn’t ruin someone’s career for unearned financial gain, and simply considered these words for what they were – absolutely nothing!! Lots of love to you Bill. Pick yourself up, brush yourself off – AND START… Read more »

Good Evening Bill: Without prejudice I watch your shows on a regular basis and find myself infuriated when listening to some of your guest and their ridiculous ramblings about the problems we face with muslim fanatics. Some of these guests haven’t got a clue about the reality of the situation, this dreadful mess our so called leaders have got us into.Why does President Obama not want to make the right moves, why? could he be muslim? One of your guests Peter Ralph has got it right, as does president Si Si of Egypt. Let common sense povale, wake up and… Read more »
Great show. Sometimes he cuts people off but he sure gets to the root of the matter! #1 cable news program for years…he has to be doing something right!
@Jenifer What so great bout it? Is it the way Bill is rude and stupid? Maybe its the fact that he just tells lies and call them facts, is that it?
Hi there Bill, you goodlooking aging boomer.I can’t believe someones has not pointed out to you that your inhaling loudly makes me think”gas bag” I wondered if you got a new microphone that I could hear you inhaling air sooo loudly. Than I did notice this is becoming more and more.Next one is Phil? anchor for CBS he has a suckin in the air too loud.Maybe your could listen to yourself and hear what I hear.That night when I first heard it I listen to Jaun Wm. and THe Holy mary gal..But nope no gas bag sound from them.

mr, O`Reilly I love to talk to you about eventhing because when talk you make no sense !! let me ask you this do you think you can be under Ravel well i can do it in kind way!!!! so lest see if you have it right!!! moses
^^ This guy is clueless. This show is probably the most bias, agenda pushing, political show that has ever existed. The only host more ridiculous that B. O. is Glenn Beck.
Peace.
Good show-inforative and entertaining. Give both sides of a story. You make up your mind. No, I’m not a Rep/Dem. but a Moderate.Libtn. Just don’t like it when Laura I. takes over. Too much interruptions. Ok as guest.
