Bill O'Reilly

William James O’Reilly Jr. (born September 10, 1949, in New York City) is a prominent conservative commentator, journalist, and author. He built his reputation in broadcast journalism—winning multiple Emmys and National Headliner awards before anchoring on Inside Edition and The O’Reilly Factor, Fox News’s top-rated cable news show for 16 years. O’Reilly also penned a string of #1 New York Times bestsellers—including Killing Lincoln and Killing Jesus—and has earned Emmy nods for corresponding TV adaptations.

Following his departure from Fox News in 2017, he returned with The O’Reilly Update: a daily, no-spin news commentary focusing on politics, culture, and big issues of the day—anchored in his hallmark direct style and framed for clarity and impact. He continues his media presence through Fox Nation, Newsmax, NewsNation, and other platforms.
