Larry Wilmore on Wednesday used some of his show’s high-powered technology to superimpose himself onto Bill O’Reilly’s show “The O’Reilly Factor” once he saw the Fox host had a debate on racism the night before.

Appearing next to the split screen of O’Reilly and Fox News contributor Kirstin Powers, who debated the host on his dismissal of American racism, Wilmore did a lot of cheering and jeering.

“Slavery was part of this country’s history!” Powers said at one point.

“So what?” O’Reilly shot back, to groans from Wilmore’s audience.

The clip came to a head when O’Reilly blew his stack after Powers challenged him to answer, “How many black friends do you have?”

O’Reilly slammed his hand on the table and bellowed, “if you think most Americans are racist, I am ashamed of you.”

Wilmore was giddy.

“She asked you if you had any black friends and you got all mad!” Wilmore giggled. “I don’t have anything smart to say here, it’s just hilarious.”
