Bill O'Reilly Debuts His New Show, Announces His First Ever CNN Appearance

One of America's most popular TV hosts is ready to stage a comeback after being off the air for almost 4 months.

Bill O'Reilly's cable news show The O'Reilly Factor was one of the most popular shows on Fox News, regularly drawing more than 3 million viewers and consistently ranking as the #1 most-watched cable news show.

But the hugely popular talk show host has been off the air since April, after news broke that Fox News has paid millions to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against O'Reilly.

While O'Reilly denied all allegations, he was fired by Fox in April and his show was cancelled. Since then fans have been waiting to see what the host would do next, and O'Reilly has revealed he received "a lot of offers" from Fox's competition.

Since leaving Fox O'Reilly has been covering the news in a daily podcast on his No Spin News website. This week, he surprised fans with a special video version of the show, announcing that would be the show's new format from now on.
