ZitatFormer Fox News titans Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck will be reuniting for a weekly spot on Beck's radio show.
"We're going to do that every Friday until Beck gets tired of me," O'Reilly said Monday on his "No Spin News" podcast. "And it's a good outlet for me to, you know, discuss things back and forth with Beck, who's a good friend. We don't agree on everything, but it's very lively."
Beck and O'Reilly are friends going back to their time together at Fox News, when they were the two biggest names on the network before Beck's abrupt departure in 2011.
Beck was shown the door after advertisers fled amid outcry over his controversial rhetoric, even as ratings stayed strong. O'Reilly was ousted from Fox earlier this year after the revelation of a number of sexual harassment claims, despite high ratings.
After Beck left the network, O'Reilly still had him back on as a guest on "The Factor" more than any other Fox host.

Beck also said he had a hard time believing the sexual assault allegations against O'Reilly.
"He had access [at Fox] to very beautiful women," he said. "We never saw him utter a word that was even blue humor. He was so buttoned up when he was around us, I find these charges hard to believe."
We've moved into a place where an accusation = a conviction of guilt. Look at all the stuff whirling around rump. It is cheaper and easier to settle out of court. There are women who will make sexual accusations against deep pockets. This behavior trivializes real sexual harrassment and assaults.
