Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly teased on Wednesday that he would be reviving “The O’Reilly Factor” on NewsNation’s “CUOMO” on March 4.

O’Reilly noted on “CUOMO” that he would be taking over host Chris Cuomo’s show while he was in Israel. He teased that he would be reviving his Fox News show “The O’Reilly Factor” for Cuomo’s entire hour-long time slot and alluded to having scheduled high-profile guests.

“A week from tonight, I’m gonna do the hour, the whole Cuomo hour! And I’m bringing back ‘The O’Reilly Factor!’ Okay, I’m bringing it back! A week from tonight!” O’Reilly said. “You can’t miss this. Wait until you see the cast that we’ve assembled. You’re going to be jealous.”

O’Reilly hosts “No Spin News” on weeknights and is a regular guest on NewsNation, but is best known for hosting “The O’Reilly Factor,” according to Brittanica. He hosted the show for over 20 years until Fox News fired him in April 2017 amid a slew of sexual harassment allegations, which he has denied.

O’Reilly announced he had an illness on Jan. 20, for which he was briefly hospitalized. He revealed that his hospitalization was caused by a “hereditary condition involving internal bleeding” in a Jan. 24 column on his website.

“Thank God we don’t have socialized medicine in this country,” he wrote. “I’d be in a dark container right now.”

O’Reilly vowed to “fight the good fight” against his illness and noted that numerous people suffered from more severe medical conditions than him.

“The longevity thing is not up to me,” he wrote. “My Christian belief is that we are all here for a reason and there is, indeed, a time for every season.”

NewsNation and O’Reilly did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for details about the broadcast.
