Bill O'Reilly

Bill O’Reilly is proud to report that The Factor remains the most watched show on cable news, just as it has for 15 years. Every night more than 5 million viewers tune in to The Factor. It’s a remarkable fact, and that support and loyalty also account, in no small measure, for the success of Bill’s many other projects.

After five best-selling books and a memoir, Bill has taken to writing about history. Killing Lincoln was first, followed by Killing Kennedy, and then Killing Jesus. The latest book, Killing Patton, chronicles what Bill calls “the strange death of WWII’s most audacious general.” From the description, “General George S. Patton, Jr. died under mysterious circumstances in the months following the end of World War II. For almost seventy years, there has been suspicion that his death was not an accident and may very well have been an act of assassination. Killing Patton takes readers inside the final year of the war and recounts the events surrounding Patton’s tragic demise, naming names of the many powerful individuals who wanted him silenced.”

Like the others, Killing Patton hit the top of The New York Times best seller list its first week in the marketplace.

The National Geographic Channel’s movie version of the Lincoln book was such a big hit that Killing Kennedy also got the Hollywood treatment – and an Emmy nomination to boot.

Bill is also the Executive Producer of a new Fox News Channel series called Legends and Lies. It’s about what really happened in the American West; the straight story about General Custer, Jesse James, Davey Crockett among other historical American figures.

You’ll like it.

And here’s some additional advance news: Bill is currently working on another book in the “Killing” series. Look out for more information on that.

We also can’t forget that somehow, in the midst of all his activities, Bill is a highly sought after guest on top television talk shows, and that he and Dennis Miller continue their highly popular personal appearances across the country. The newly minted Don’t Be a Pinhead! tour promises a great night. Go, andenjoy.

Some background about Bill: he grew up on Long Island, got a BA from Marist College (in history, naturally), a Master’s Degree in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University, and a second MA in Public Administration from The Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

Bill’s love of history led him to teach it in high school before going into broadcasting, and he’s been a long time collector of important historical documents.

Bill believes life offers no shortcuts and compromises. And as he always acknowledges, nothing happens without “the folks” — that would be you.
