O'Reilly to team up with Glenn Beck on radio

BY JOE CONCHA - 05/16/17 09:23 AM EDT

Former Fox News titans Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck will be reuniting for a weekly spot on Beck’s radio show.

"We're going to do that every Friday until Beck gets tired of me," O'Reilly said Monday on his "No Spin News" podcast. "And it's a good outlet for me to, you know, discuss things back and forth with Beck, who's a good friend. We don't agree on everything, but it's very lively."

Beck and O'Reilly are friends going back to their time together at Fox News, when they were the two biggest names on the network before Beck’s abrupt departure in 2011. Beck was shown the door after advertisers fled amid outcry over his controversial rhetoric, even as ratings stayed strong. O’Reilly was ousted from Fox earlier this year after the revelation of a number of sexual harassment claims, despite high ratings.

After Beck left the network, O'Reilly still had him back on as a guest on "The Factor" more than any other Fox host.

Beck noted last week that the two are close enough that O’Reilly reached out to him the day he was ousted by Fox as he returned from a vacation last month.
