10 Facts About Bill O’Reilly That Prove We’re Well Rid of Him

On April 18, 2017, Bill O’Reilly took one last bow on his long-running Fox News series The O’Reilly Factor before taking off for an Italian vacation. At the time, the man who’d celebrated two decades at the top of cable news didn’t realize that a brewing scandal would mean this April episode of The O’Reilly Factor would be the host’s last.
