Fox News firebrand Bill O'Reilly is finally getting his sit-down with Barack Obama.
And it will happen tomorrow, Thursday, the same day that Republican presidential nominee John McCain delivers his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
O'Reilly, who is spending most of his week in St. Paul covering the convention, is scheduled to meet with the Democratic presidential nominee for a one-on-one interview tomorrow afternoon in York, Pa., Fox News Channel announced today.
The interview will be presented on tape on "The O'Reilly Factor" in several parts with Part One as part of tomorrow night's show (8 p.m. ET on FNC). "Additional parts" will be seen in subsequent shows "in the days thereafter," Fox said.
The interview marks the first time that Obama will appear on "The O'Reilly Factor."
O'Reilly has long sought an interview with Obama. Last January, O'Reilly made headlines when he attempted to question the candidate at a public campaign event in New Hampshire, just three days before the Democratic primary in that state.
O'Reilly's access to Obama was reportedly blocked by an Obama staffer who placed himself between O'Reilly's camera crew and the candidate. O'Reilly even attempted to physically move the staffer out of the way, but to no avail.
