They took it down on youtube but you can still see it on Gawker.
It’s an old video from his days at the tabloid show, Inside Edition. He goes postal when he doesn’t understand something on a Teleprompter. It’s hilarious. It’s exactly the way you would imagine he always is during commercial breaks.
Sting’s music has the same effect on me.
“Fuck it! I don’t understand this! This fucking sucks!”
I heard that bit of Je N’Sais Fucking Quoi on the Stephanie Miller Show… He really showed his freaky control idiot self there. Let’s hope it all end soon, after November.
This was the headlining piece on The Colbert Report last night, and let’s say Stephen was quite generous in exploiting the clip to its fullest potential. 
That was brilliant. “What is this!? ‘I was wrong and I apologize’ I don’t even know what that means! Fuck!”
It was hilarious. The text he was having trouble with was pretty clear. It was supposed to say something like “now to play us out, here’s a cut from the new album by Sting.” But he didn’t get the meaning of that. Granted, we don’t know if the rest of the broadcast had been plagued by teleprompter glitches, but he sure showed a hair trigger.
I saw the Colbert send up last month. It was brilliant.
“Fuck it! Let’s do it live!”
“We are live.”
Another humorous take on O’Reilly’s blowup. I love the count in.
That was a hoot! “…you troglodyte homunculus!”
There’s a legendary story about the late NBC news anchor Jessica Savitch going absolutely ballistic during a commercial break back when she was a local anchor. The funny thing about it was that midway through the break, when they cut to a live shot of the anchor between commercials, she pulled up, looked busy for the 2 second live shot, then resumed her tirade during the second half of the break.
ISTR it was teleprompter problems that time, as well.
For a brief time, ESPN had this reality show to pick new anchors for Sportscenter (I have no idea who won, or what happened to them). It was like when MTV had a contest to pick a new VJ.
Anyway…
One of the things they tested the contestants with was making the teleprompter go blank during the middle of a lead-in. The challenge was to keep your composure, casually refer to your notes, and not let on that you were faced with a blank screen.
I guess O’Reilly wouldn’t have cut it as an Sportscenter anchor.
My god, that literally had me in tears.
Some of the comments on that page practically had me in tears. My personal favorite:
Whoever did that deserves to shoot to the top of the music industry as a producer. Solid gold. Get him! Go! Now1 Fuck it.
I’ve been wondering how this video got released. Does anyone know?

Is it just me or did Bill O’Reilly look disturbingly similar to Conan O’Brien when he had hair?
Check out the link in post #9 (you’ll like it).
It’s not clear that there was an actual problem with the TelePrompter. He said “There’s no words there!” but from the context it appears there were words there, but that Bill-O didn’t understand the words. It said “To play us out…” and Bill, being slightly less hip than Paul Harvey, had never heard of the phrase “play us out”.
