I don't even know what Bill O'Reilly is doing on the radio. It sounds like he is only marking time on there. Every time I listen to O'Reilly on the radio it reminds me of that SCTCV sketch of Perry Como lying down on a stage and singing, "Am I Still Alive?"

I like O'Reilly but his moving into radio was a bad move, he thought he was going to shove Rush Limbaugh into early retirement or something but it was more like a sparrow crashing into an oncoming car's windshield. I look for O'Reilly to eventually back out of radio entirely, just like Rush did with his brief segments on TV.

And LMAO about that Perry Como sketch on SCTV, I actually met Perry Como in an Albertson's grocery store in south Florida (where he used to live), he was going down the aisle like any shopper, I saw him and before I could say "hey, aren't you...?" he grins and says (really he said this) "yeah I'm still alive, here in the frozen foods!" - one terrific guy, talked to him for maybe 10 minutes, just like bumping into your neighbor at the store. One of the nicest people, a shame he's not around now.

Actually I think that SCTV sketch might have brought Perry Como back into the limelight since he was mostly forgotten back them. BTW, the cancellation of SCTV by NBC was one of the great cultural crimes. NBC picked up SCTV for broadcast and then BETRAYED that show. What they did was broadcast it after midnight on the weekend so there would be few viewers. It turned out they did this to eliminate competition for the inferior SNL.
