On the latest episode of The O'Reilly Factor, the conservative talker addressed Stewart's departure, making a joke about Stewart's ratings success, and seemingly getting in a dig over Stewart's support of President Obama's immigration policy.
“He is the standard bearer on television for the liberal point of view. And he’s funny. And they don’t have funny liberals. Comedy Central has some talent over there, but that’s it. There’s not a lot of yuks going on at MSNBC," O'Reilly said. "But what people don’t know about Stewart’s demographics is, according to The Factor research, 72% of his audience did not understand English. So they don’t know what he’s saying, they just like his suits."
O'Reilly continued:
“We wish Stewart well. I’ll track him down in a few weeks no matter where he is. We’re coming for you. But, the left – they’re losing a big thing.”
