Jimmy Kimmel has some wicked fun guessing where Bill O'Reilly is taking his surprise vacation


On Tuesday's O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly announced that he is going on vacation. There's speculation he won't return to the air. Advertisers are fleeing his Fox News show because of $13 million in recently disclosed sexual harassment settlements he and his network paid out to five women over the past 15 years. "I guess he had a vacation planned and they were worried it would look bad if he just quietly went off the air for a week," Jimmy Kimmel suggested on Wednesday night's Kimmel Live. "So somebody over there thought it would be a good idea to turn his vacation into a contest." The contest involves guessing where O'Reilly is vacationing this week, and after playing the clip from Tuesday night, Kimmel had some guesses. "To hell, maybe? Is it hell? No?" he said. "Maybe Coachella?" Each guess had a photo, and you can watch them all below. Peter Weber
