Bill O’Reilly began his career in journalism after graduating from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history. He started as a reporter and columnist for several local newspapers and eventually pursued a Master’s in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University. After obtaining his Master’s degree, O’Reilly moved into television journalism. His early television career included positions as a reporter and anchor for various local news stations across the United States, such as WNEP-TV in Scranton, Pennsylvania; WFAA-TV in Dallas, Texas; and KMGH-TV in Denver, Colorado. During this period, he won several local Emmy Awards for his reporting. O’Reilly then moved on to national news coverage, working as a correspondent for CBS News and later as a correspondent and anchor for ABC News. In 1989, he joined the nationally syndicated show “Inside Edition” as a host, where he gained widespread recognition for his reporting and interviewing style. In 1996, O’Reilly joined Fox News Channel at its inception, hosting “The O’Reilly Report,” which was later renamed “The O’Reilly Factor.” The show became one of the highest-rated cable news programs in the United States, and O’Reilly established himself as a prominent figure in conservative political commentary. He hosted the show until 2017 when he left Fox News.

It’s unclear exactly when Bill O’Reilly and Barack Obama first met.

The show was known for critically commenting on Obama’s policies and political beliefs. The two may have also crossed paths at various media events or political functions. While they have never had a formal sit-down interview, O’Reilly and Obama did have a brief and memorable exchange during a Super Bowl pre-game interview in 2011, when O’Reilly asked Obama about the situation in Egypt, and Obama responded with a playful jab at O’Reilly’s interruption of him.

Bill O’Reilly and Ben Shapiro first met in 2014 when Shapiro was invited to appear as a guest on O’Reilly’s TV show, “The O’Reilly Factor,” on Fox News.
