Stewart to debate O’Reilly in charity pay-per-view showdown

Comedy Central host Jon Stewart and Fox News host Bill O’Reilly will square off, mano-a-mano, in a pay-per-view debate next month, with half the proceeds going to unspecified charities.

O’Reilly announced the debate on his Monday night show, warning that his longtime liberal rival “is going to be taking some massive heat” on Saturday, Oct. 6 at George Washington University.

They’re calling it: “The Rumble in the Air Conditioned Auditorium.”

The longtime Republican opinion host said the event would function similar to presidential debates, but “without all the phoniness and pomposity.”

The event will be live-streamed from a website the two have set up. Viewers can access the stream for just $5 a pop.

There is no way he is going to avoid pomposity.

Give us all a freaking break.

Very quick on his feet. I'd pay to see Colbert mop the floor with Sean Hannity.
