O'REILLY, FRANKEN SLATED FOR NEW REALITY SHOW
 "You And Whose First Amendment?" Will Debut On NBC This Fall
 Hollywould, CA - (GNS)
- The lawsuit Fox Network filed against Al Franken has spawned a series starring the two antagonists set to debut this fall on NBC in the 8pm Wednesday slot before West Wing.
     Liberal humorist Franken and rightwing meatgrinder Bill O'Reilly will play themselves as they each prepare for and present a talk show during which Franken will crack jokes and O'Reilly will accuse him of treason.
     "It's a match made in Heaven, if you believe in Heaven," said the show's creator and executive producer Jon Stewart, also a known humorist.
     "Many people find humor about current events to be unpatriotic. O'Reilly is one of those people. So this is like, uh, well, I was going to say oil and water but I'm told Exxon might sponsor the show," Stewart said.
     O'Reilly, author of the bestselling "I'm Right About Everything And You Should Know It By Now" said he couldn't pass up the opportunity to expose Franken on a weekly basis.
     "Franken is an amoral little twerp who wouldn't understand the meaning of American patriotism if someone branded a flag on his face," O'Reilly said.
     Franken said he's looking forward to the show because it will help promote his next book, "The Right Wing, Threat Or Menace?"
     "Bill is a case study in what happens when someone rejects anger management classes and decides to channel all his fury at the disenfranchised, powerless Americans," Franken said, "And I mean that as a compliment."
     The Right Wing Queen of Hate, Anne Coulter, and the somewhat Left Wing Queen of Self-Righteousness, Arianna Huffington, will co-star, Stewart said.
