Bill O'Reilly & Whoopie Goldberg guests on Bill Maher this Friday

[Marlie]

Also, Cornel West and Alec Baldwin. I do believe the sparks will
fly and if anyone can get under O'Reilly's thick skin, I think
Whoopie can. Should be a really good show. Hopefully they won't
discuss Terri - enough is enough and there really are some
issues that need talking about.

[swag]

1. Will Bill bring a loofah

or a falafel?

[Best_man23]

2. Shut up...Shut Up......SHUT UP!

[VOX]

3. Will O'Lielly be in the studio, or will he appear via the "glass panel?"

Somehow, I can't see that moron actually showing up in the studio.

:shrug:

[Marlie]

5. Nuts..

You may be right - that weasel probably won't be on the panel.

[jojo54]

6. Oh shit.........

You're right. I hope not. I'm really looking forward to see Whoopie's tongue give O'Lielly a good lashing.

[jojo54]

4. Yeah, I can't wait for this one!

I was itching last week when there was no show. I LOVE Whoopie - she can make even the toughest of them cringe. :spank:

[Oldpals]

7. April Fools joke?

This is too good a guest lineup. O'Reilly,Baldwin and Goldberg all on at the same time. I don't think so. I'm hopefully wrong,but I have this nagging suspicion that it is wrong.

8. Screw Maher...I haven't watched his show--he drank the koolaid.

[spindoctor]

9. Don't diss it till you tried it

Real Time is my weekly hour of sanity.

[tinonedown]

10. He did

And not just a sip. He'll throw us a bone, maybe even an entire show every now and then. But overall too fickle. And you know he will feed OReilly and kiss ass. I'm out.

[MelissaB]

18. Hubby and I have been wondering

if he sipped or guzzled. If it doesn't get any better we are canceling HBO. This is the only show we watch on HBO anyway.

[AlCzervik]

11. i bet you anything that loofah boy potty mouth with be via satellite

and NOT on the panel.

[kat21]

12. I'm going to see this being taped -

I'm so excited!

My guess is that Whoopie will be via satellite since she lives in NY and doesn't like to fly.

Of course I was thinking this could be an April Fool's joke but I hope not cause I want to BOO O'Reilly in person.

[DS1]

13. Isn't Baldwin one of the ones O'Reilly was mocking because he

wouldn't agree to do that sham of a show 'The Factor' is?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. and in a few weeks Wesley Clark will be on...

n/t

[stranger81]

15. I might have to break my Maher boycott

to watch this one . . . . any opportunity to hear Cornel West should not be missed. I, for one, am hoping to see O'Reilly get ripped apart by the other guests, but I'll definitely be curious to see how Maher lines up when and if that happens. I'm not encouraged, judging by the rest of this season so far.

[Oldpals]

16. Where is this guest list coming from

I can't seem to find it anywhere.I still believe that it is a hoax.

[kat21]

19. This is straight from the HBO website -

Bill's guests will include TV host Bill O'Reilly, academic Cornel West, comedian Whoopi Goldberg, actor Alec Baldwin, and Rev. Jesse Jackson.

[ArkDem]

17. Wow, it's unusual to see that many intellectuals on one

program.

[UTUSN]

20. Chickenhawk O'LIELLY Receiving the VFW Errect Loofah Award

[minkyboodle]

21. O'Reilly will be via satelitte for an interview only

I have confirmation on this part. If I had to guess I'd say that Cornel West, Whoopi and Alec Baldwin will be the panel with Jessie Jackson as an interview. But I know for sure O'Lielly won't be in the house. I'll be watching anyway I just hope that Bill O and Bill M don't bond too much over their respective legal problems (Maher's sounding absurd while O'Reilly's were pretty much documented via tape).

22. Remember O'Reilly's Daily Show appearance?

It was painful. He tried way too hard to be edgy and Jon-esque. And failed so miserably. It was painful. Almost as bad as when Newt was on the show and also tried to hit the vibe. And fell flat. It's funny. You see some elderly news pros on The Daily Show and they're witty and clever and cool. Then, Newt and Bill come on and they're like the kids playing the accordian at the high school talent show.

23. Forget sparks Cornel West will evicerate O'Reilly

West brings facts and depth. Its gonna be messy.

[minkyboodle]

24. sadly they won't speak

Oreilly is gonna be on the screen and not in studio. The thing about O'Reilly if he ever met West he would either shout over him storm out of the studio (probably storm out). Krugman brought depth and facts and wit but O'Reilly just shouted at him while fucking Russert sat on his hands. Cornel wouldn't stand for that, so I think O'Reilly would either pout or head for the door.
