Bill O'Reilly reveals undisclosed illness, podcast pause for treatment

Bill O'Reilly, 76, pauses his No Spin News program due to an undisclosed illness and promises updates on his recovery to his audience.

  • On Wednesday , Bill O'Reilly announced on Billoreilly.com he is stepping back from media duties for an undisclosed medical condition.
  • O'Reilly's 2017 firing followed Fox News paying $13 million to settle claims from five women and a later $32 million agreement reported for additional allegations.
  • Missing a scheduled Tuesday appearance, O'Reilly's weeknight program return is uncertain, while he continues hosting The O'Reilly Update, heard on 300 stations, and appearing on NewsNation.
  • Fans reacted on social media as O'Reilly reassured that the condition doesn’t affect his fingers, praised his medical team, and promised to keep fans updated shortly.
  • Given his long-running profile, O'Reilly's pause follows a career that included hosting The O'Reilly Factor from October 1996 to April 2017 and executive-producing National Geographic and the Killing series adaptations alongside authoring Confronting Evil: Assessing the Worst of the Worst.
