He also talked about the 100 months on top: "Bonanza didn't do it,
Gunsmoke didn't do it," he said. "The Factor did it, prime time 100
months. Why do you think that is? Why do you think I'm so popular?"
This same line about Gunsmoke was used in the Broadcasting & Cable Q&A
yesterday, only O'Reilly said, "I don't think it's ever been done in
any kind of TV milieu."
On last night's Countdown, Froth Olbermann took this line, and several
others, and essentially served as ombudsman to the interview.
Olbermann noted the Today show has been #1 for 166 consecutive months
and Meet the Press for 131 consecutive months.
