On Stewarts' show this past Thursday, O'Reilly who is 6-feet 4-inches repeatedly called Stewart "tiny." Stewart, who is 5-feet 6-inches replied saying "I see you as, like, an Abominable Snowman, ... like all I have to do is get out of your peripheral vision and I'll be fine."
In the press release for Rumble 2012, Stewart said "I believe this will be a very enjoyable night for fans of our programs, political junkies, partisans and people who just enjoy yelling."
