Will the moderator allow Bill to yell at Jon, and speak out of turn?
I think these two men might like each other more than they admit - this is show business.
That's exactly it, there is a bit of showmanship and acting that happens when these two talk. It was the same with the hyped up Colbert v O'Reilly cross show interviews a few years back. (Each appeared as a guest on the others show within one week) Sadly, those weren't even that good.
All that said I'll probably take a look at it. Maybe some good points will be made.
PS, I was hoping for a Crossfire sort of outcome from those sort of appearances but you could tell it was a bit of scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, not actual debate.
Here's a semi-related semi-fun fact....Bill O'Reilly used to be a hockey goalie back in high school. The only reason I know this is that my father-in-law played in the same league as him in Long Island.

Seriously, it's only five dollars and half the proceeds go to charity, just go buy the thing. They even take PayPal if you don't want to use a credit card.
hid it, for those that still planning to watch it.
NSFW!
Not really. It had a couple of funny parts, and Stewart really caught Bill good a couple of times when he was embellishing/lying.
Basically take any interview Bill and Jon have done together over the years and add 1 hour and 20 minutes to it, and that's what it was. Nothing groundbreaking, no amazing moments, no declared winner (that was pretty lame, when the moderator just said "..and there will be no declared winners, we're all the winners tonight.)
It was pretty neat, but I'm going to be honest, I only watched it because I saw it was up on youtube.
