A journalist for more than 30 years, host of top-rated The O’Reilly Factor, bestselling author and syndicated news columnist Bill O’Reilly has risen to the top of his profession. Monday through Friday on the Fox News Channel, The O’Reilly Factor causes the powerful in America to duck for cover as the rigidly enforced “No Spin Zone” deals with the nation’s most important issues in a straightforward and provocative manner. Blending news analysis with investigative reporting, The Factor has gained international prominence as well – it is now seen in more than 30 countries.
With nine straight New York Times Bestsellers including “The O’Reilly Factor”, “The No Spin Zone”, “Who’s Looking Out for You”, “Culture Warrior”, “A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity”, and “Pinheads” and “Patriots”, and his most recent NYT bestseller, “Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever”; as well as over 5 million copies of his books in print, O’Reilly continues to be a highly sought-after author and speaker. O’Reilly also writes a syndicated newspaper column which is carried by hundreds of papers across the USA.
Raised in a working class family in the huge housing subdivision of Levittown, New York, Bill O’Reilly has stayed close to his roots. He still lives on Long Island and his best friends are neighborhood guys. But education sparked O’Reilly’s career. He graduated with a degree in history from Marist College, with a Master’s Degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University, and attained another Master’s in Public Administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
Bill O’Reilly has won three Emmy Awards for Excellence in Reporting. He was awarded two National Headliner Awards while working as a national correspondent for ABC News, and was honored by The National Academy of Arts and Sciences for his reporting and analysis on and after September 11, 2001.
In his speeches, as in his show and books, Mr. O’Reilly takes on our country, our politicians, and our celebrities. If you’re looking for someone with an opinion—on just about everything—he’s your man.
Bill O’Reilly will be at the Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on Friday October 26, 2012.
