Matthews, O’Reilly To Debate During Jon Stewart’s Autism Benefit — Only After Inhaling Helium

On Sunday night, Comedy Central will be airing Jon Stewart‘s autism benefit, “The Night of Too Many Stars.” The show is highlighting “rivals,” particularly featuring MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly — who debated the issues in a rather unconventional way.

After inhaling helium from balloons.

“Neither participant shall be permitted to speak without first filling their lungs with helium,” CNN’s John King informed.

Watching the video touched me so deeply I don't post often but I read this forum every day.Being the mother blessed with a son who was diagnosed with Autism and knowing first hand how important these
programs are to kids like my son in helping them reach their potential. It upsets me when i hear that Romney will cut teachers and the public schools which has been the most help for my son. Seeing the teachers and resource workers that work with my son light up when my son has reached a goal . These kids are mostly misunderstood with the proper help they grow to teach us . I know personally that my son is my hero who taught me about life , and jumping over obstacles, to fight hard in what i believe in. Romney will tear these childrens worlds apart if he cuts services given to them pushing them backwards. Obama has improved our lives many ways and I will fight for his reelection with all I have.

How are they doing it live if the preview is from 4 days ago? Was it filmed already or is it live? It can't be both
