NEW YORK (AP) -- It may feel like looking into the mirror for Bill O'Reilly and Stephen Colbert next week.

The Fox News Channel host and Colbert, who has essentially based his comic character every evening on Comedy Central on him, will trade appearances on each other's programs January 18.

"I'm really looking forward to speaking to a man who owes his entire career to me," O'Reilly said.

On "The Colbert Report," Colbert portrays a self-involved talk-show host who has tried to bring "truthiness" to the world. His character owes an obvious debt to O'Reilly, who holds court in the "no-spin zone" each evening.

On "The O'Reilly Factor," O'Reilly portrays a ... um, he hosts the top-rated program in cable news.

"I look forward to the evening," Colbert said. "It is an honor to speak face-to-face with a broadcasting legend, and I feel the same way about Mr. O'Reilly."

ohh that should be good.

hehe i love this line "On "The O'Reilly Factor," O'Reilly portrays a ... um, he hosts the top-rated program in cable news"

LOL

anyway it should be funny. I enjoy watching Colbert whenever i remember it is on.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel lol. Same when Stewart was on with Tucker Carlson, he really didn't have to say much to make them look as completely absurd as they are 😀

Note the article. Look at how its written. Stephen is obviously in character and oreilly just played along.

when Oreilly comes on the show it is with Stephen Colbert the right wing character which is based on Oreilly. and when colbert shows up I wouldn't be surprised if its colbert the character also. It likely just be a short funny segment for both shows andnothing more.

People tend to forget that Colbert is a comic.

He has been on The Daily Show. I'm not sure about The Colbert Report.

Well, being a "comic" would encompass all the various styles of comedy.
I did see that piece, good stuff.
