Jon Stewart vs. Bill O'Reilly: It's On!

In this corner, standing at five feet, six inches and host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Jon Stewart! And in the other corner, at six feet, four inches and host of Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly!

The two frequent adversaries, who often appear on one another's shows, are scheduled for a live, 90-minute debate on Oct. 6. The showdown will be held at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

"The Rumble In The Air-Conditioned Auditorium," as it's being called, will be livestreamed for a small charge, with half of the proceeds going toward charity.

"In order to illuminate the vital issues associated with the upcoming presidential election, Stewart and I will debate man-to-man, eye-to-eye," said O'Reilly on his Monday broadcast. "Well, not really. He's a tiny guy."
