‘Oh My God, That’s Crazy’: O’Reilly, Jimmy Fallon Talk Ferguson

Bill O’Reilly returned to The Tonight Show on Tuesday for some friendly banter with Jimmy Fallon and some serious discussion about the unrest this week in Ferguson. O’Reilly said he was very sympathetic to the argument from African-Americans that the justice system “doesn’t give them a fair shake,” but said people should stick to protesting and not burning down stores belonging to innocent people.

Fallon was baffled at why they would announce the grand jury decision at nighttime. O’Reilly posited it was so Bob McCulloch could present his case in front of the entire nation to make it clear why they decided what they did. Fallon reacted by saying, “Oh my God, that’s crazy.”

Fallon did manage to move the conversation to something lighter, and he and O’Reilly ended up in a really funny back-and-forth about ungrateful children on Thanksgiving.
