Bill O'Reilly and Jon Stewart to debate in D.C.

(CBS News) Frenemies till the end, Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Fox News' Bill O'Reilly just announced their intention to go another round, but this time we have to pay to watch it live.

The two have squared off on each other's shows before, and now they've set up a more formal venue for the October 6 debate: The George Washington University Lisner Auditorium.

"O'Reilly v Stewart 2012: The Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium" will be available for live streaming online for $4.95. The website for the event says half the proceeds will go to various charities.

"In order to illuminate the vital issues in the upcoming presidential election, Stewart and I will debate man to man, eye to eye - well, not really, he's a tiny guy," O'Reilly said on his show Monday.

O'Reilly then said the debates will have the same format as the presidential debates, "without all the phoniness and pomposity."

Stewart will mop the floor with O'Reilly's balding head... AGAIN

This type of show should be on prime time for ALL audiences to learn something from, and maybe be entertained as well, for Jon Stewart is a stickler for FACTS, which will be the downfall of O'Reilly, who pulls his info OOHA most of the time.

Stewart will debate and score while O'Reily will do nothing but interrupt as he has no debating skills, period.

Gladly pay $5.00 to see and hear this. I'm sure we'll know a lot more as we get closer to the event

Just a silly thing to do. Politics is serious, and Stewart has zero ability to discuss anything seriously.

You've apparently never seen Stewart go onto debate shows like Crossfire or on Bills Fox show, The O'Reilly Factor.
Stewart DESTROYED O'Reilly on several topics, including O'Reilly trying to argue against rapper Common being a guest at the white house. The videos are available on youtube, so perhaps you should educate yourself before you make such an asinine statement.
His father was a prominent physics professor, his mother was a teacher, and his brother is the CEO of Euronext, which is the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.
He comes from a family of intellectuals who are very successful.

apparently the posters here are ignorant this same web site stated that a much shorter debate was excellent television. Note Bill has a degree from kennedy school of govt at Harvard

[alanrobisch]

I think this will be very good. You see mutual respect and no holds barred and each is intelligent and articulate. You will see actual give and take not a parallel news conference as the debates really are with fear of making any bold statement that may take them down

[intonews]

I have to say we may learn more about our country's issues from this than the presidential debates. Really like it when Stewart and O'Reilly get together on the Daily Show

[JaylikeBird]

Did O'Reilly just call Stewart phony and pompous? That's rich.

Drinking game based on the color of Bill's face during the debate.

[tsigili]

That should be amusing to the mindless.

I think it is sad, when an entire political party has become subversive, dictatorial, and anti-American, and still is allowed to run for office.

The America I grew up in, is no longer in existence.

[siberian99]

yes .... mighty sad when the party of 'NO' - the repubs - want to do that ... although, yeah they want to take you back to the '50s ... where only white guys ruled
