It's Stephen Colbert, actually, Rob. I do wish More4 would pick the Colbert Report -- although I think the joke would probably be lost without The O'Reilly Factor having wider prominence in the UK, and I don't think any of us deserve that...

I should hire you as a proofreader. You'd need to be up early, mind.
I'll fix that in a minute. Think I had a brain amalgam between Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.
I'm pretty sure that More4 could show Colbert's show, since the kind of people who watch The Daily Show will know who he is and who O'Reilly is: both are frequent guests and get mentioned frequently, too.
