Bill O'Reilly Appears On SNL's 'What Up With That?' Alongside Kate Upton (VIDEO)

Bill Oreilly

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly isn't exactly known for his comedy act (he makes most of his comedy contributions by accident) but he happened to appear on this weekend's episode of "Saturday Night Live" hosted by Maya Rudolph.

In a special "Presidents Day Edition" of DeAndre Cole's (Kenan Thompson) recurring talk show, "What Up With That?," O'Reilly sat on the panel alongside Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Kate Upton. Of course, Lindsey Buckingham (Bill Hader) was there too, celebrating his "100th" appearance on the show.

As is the point of the bit, O'Reilly didn't get to say very much, although he did get considerably more talking time than past celebrity guests and Upton, who only said one sentence. When asked about his new book, "Killing Lincoln," O'Reilly calmly and briefly explained his thesis without saying anything too controversial.

Kenan, however, calls O'Reilly "the sexiest man in New York" when he closes out the show, to which O'Reilly responds, "I'm not sure what happened here" (which is probably what you'll be thinking when you're done with the clip). Watch it above.

That's 5 mins of my life I will never get back. I say 5 and not 7 because I had to jump ahead through some of the musical numbers as they were even more stupid than most of what SNL does these days.

Pretty much exactly what I had intended to say. This could be HuffPo's most epic headline fail.

Looking to his right he was at least thinking about it. Hmm..can't really blame him for that one though.

They could have at least talked to Kate to acknowledge her being on the show!

How about the HP headline writers put a hold on using "epic" and "stunning", at least until they learn the definitions?

Desperate to sell Book Number 10 & 11, since it's claimed it's factually inaccurate, however Far more Accurate than his FOX show.

I know I'm in the minority here - but of all the "pinheads" on FOX, I find Uncle Bill to be the most endearing. I disagree with him on so many issues, but I like him. I would love to debate him over some drinks - he's a crotchety hoot.

And this was funny - he was totally game.

It's refreshing to come across someone here who can disagree with someone and still like them.

the only thing 'epic' is his massive ego.

Did he get paid for the appearance? If so, is that a union thing?

Bill, I'm telling you this for your own sake. Really. Do not try to be cool. You're not. And that's just fine. When you strive for coolness- you actually become, if at all possible, even less cool. Your appearances on The Daily Show are painful. You make pot jokes. Everyone cringes. You're not cool. You never were. You never will be. Embrace that. Stay on Fox - the sanctuary for the old. the white. and the eternally uncool.

I've seen this skit done a dozen times. I don't think anyone understands what's going on.
