Nine years after being fired from Fox News, ex-Fox News star Bill O’Reilly announced that he’s reviving “The O’Reilly Factor” show that made him the face of the network for many years.
But don’t expect O’Reilly’s flagship news show to be on Fox News anytime soon.
O’Reilly teased this week that he would be reviving “The O’Reilly Factor” on NewsNation’s “CUOMO” on March 4.
O’Reilly noted on “CUOMO”, a show in which he regularly appears on, that he would be taking over host Chris Cuomo’s show while he was in Israel and using that slot to revive his once-famous “The O’Reilly Factor” format complete with high-profile guests.
“A week from tonight, I’m gonna do the hour, the whole Cuomo hour! And I’m bringing back ‘The O’Reilly Factor!’ Okay, I’m bringing it back! A week from tonight!” O’Reilly said.
“You can’t miss this. Wait until you see the cast that we’ve assembled. You’re going to be jealous.”
Take a listen —
O’Reilly currently hosts “No Spin News” on weeknights and is a regular guest on NewsNation, but is best known for hosting the aforementioned “The O’Reilly Factor” during his run with Fox News.
He hosted the flagship show for over 20 years until Fox News fired him in April 2017 amid a slew of sexual harassment allegations, which he has denied.
In 2017, he called the circumstances surrounding his firing “tremendously disheartening” as they were based on, in his words, “completely unfounded claims.”
“Over the past 20 years at Fox News,” O’Reilly wrote after his termination.
“I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television.”
“But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today,” he continued.
“I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers.”
“I wish only the best for Fox News Channel.”
O’Reilly announced he had an illness on Jan. 20, for which he was briefly hospitalized. He revealed that his hospitalization was caused by a “hereditary condition involving internal bleeding” in a Jan. 24 column on his website.
“Thank God we don’t have socialized medicine in this country,” he wrote.
“I’d be in a dark container right now.”
O’Reilly vowed to “fight the good fight” against his illness and noted that numerous people suffered from more severe medical conditions than him.
Greetings, No Spin Nation! Your tour guide is okay and recovering from some stomach stuff…

“The longevity thing is not up to me,” he wrote.
“My Christian belief is that we are all here for a reason and there is, indeed, a time for every season.”
NewsNation and O’Reilly did not provide any further details on O’Reilly’s upcoming broadcast at the time of publication.
