Didn't even see this in the queue. The high water mark of British TV. Pure fucking genius.

I want Craig Ferguson on british tv, he's brilliant

he is Soo adorable. It's as if he's got sand in his falafel. This little tidbit should follow BillO around forever -- to demonstrate his soft-spoken demeanor, lest there be any doubt about the Andrea Mackris lawsuit.

In 1989, O’Reilly joined the nationally syndicated King World (now CBS) program Inside Edition, a tabloid/gossip television program in competition with A Current Affair. He started as senior correspondent and backup anchor for British TV host David Frost, and subsequently became the program’s anchor after Frost’s termination.

EDIT: This infamous BillO video is just as good played backwards, as if he's speaking in German, with some interesting B-roll choices.

^ in response to her thinking a comedian should only perform material that doesn't offend 'anybody'.
we don't go on about freedom of speech in britain, it's just there. i think that's one of the reasons the female reporter doesn't get it. i get the impression these two people are something to do with his show getting put on british tv (?)..

Sam Neil even had a New Zealand accent! This is why British TV is

Who is this guy? It's like watching a slightly miffed accountant.

This is not something you would ever see on British tv, some bloke having a long pop at a politician. Does someone else come on to supply a rebuttal?

Ah, TV Nation: fond memories for one of my favourite politcal shows...Ironically: even though it was Michael Moore's entirely American programme (filmed in front of a NY audience by US producers) - British TV was the only broadcaster who would touch it!

Okay what's wrong with people? This is one of the funniest British TV shows.

Philistines.

The puppets are from a satirical puppet show from British TV.

Hah, british TV. Since we don't have a TV this is the closest I can get.

Actually, Kristol comes off as a smart guy with a sense of humour. Nice to know that not all neocons are deluded, greedy, lying schmucks. What we *really* need are people like Krystol to defend various plancks of their policy agenda openly and without ad hominems, claims to divine inspiration, or deliberate misrepresentations of the facts (by either side). Trouble is, regular TV seems now to have become the wrong medium for adult discussion. You should check out British TV. If this Colbert video 'blazes the trail' by asking questions the mainstream will not then we need very badly to relearn the art of fiercely honest, rational political discussion.
