Point Lookout—College of the Ozarks will host Mr. Bill O’Reilly, host of FOX News The O’Reilly Factor, to speak at a Patriotic Education Convocation on October 10, at 7 p.m., in the Howell W. Keeter Athletic Complex.  Free tickets to attend this convocation are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at www.cofo.edu.

“The College is extremely excited to host Mr. O’Reilly to speak on the importance of patriotic education,” said C of O Dean of Character Education Dr. Sue Head.  “With his ‘no spin’ approach, we know Mr. O’Reilly will spark a desire for those in attendance, especially our students, to further develop their patriotism.”

A journalist for more than 30 years, Bill O’Reilly has now risen to the top of his profession. Monday through Friday on the Fox News Channel, The O’Reilly Factor causes the powerful in America to duck for cover as the rigidly enforced “No Spin Zone” deals with the nation’s most important issues in a straightforward and provocative manner. Blending news analysis with investigative reporting, The Factor has gained international prominence as well – it is now seen in more than 30 countries.

With 12 straight New York Times Bestsellers including The O’Reilly Factor, The No Spin Zone, Who’s Looking Out for You, Culture Warrior, A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, and Pinheads and Patriots, and his most recent NYT bestseller, Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever; as well as over 5 million copies of his books in print, Bill O’Reilly continues to be a highly sought-after author and speaker.

Mr. O’Reilly also writes a syndicated newspaper column that is carried by hundreds of papers across the USA. Raised in a working class family in the huge housing subdivision of Levittown, New York, Mr. O’Reilly has stayed close to his roots. He still lives on Long Island and his best friends are neighborhood guys. But education sparked O’Reilly’s career. He graduated with a degree in history from Marist College, with a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University, and attained another master’s in public administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

Bill O’Reilly has won three Emmy Awards for Excellence in Reporting. He was awarded two National Headliner Awards while working as a national correspondent for ABC News and was honored by The National Academy of Arts and Sciences for his reporting and analysis on and after September 11^th, 2001.

The Patriotic Education Convocation featuring Mr. O’Reilly is sponsored by the College’s Keeter Center for Character Education, which provides convocations and programs that educate the head, heart, and hands of students, as well as the community.

(Branson, MO.) The all new hit show “Dinner with Yakov” is returning to the Branson stage in the fall of 2014 with his side-splitting comedy and a delectable mouth- watering feast.

As scheduled for this season (2013), Yakov will be performing “Dinner with Yakov” at his Branson theater during October and November of 2013, after traveling around the U. S. with his acclaimed “The Happily Ever Laughter Tour.”  “Dinner with Yakov” gives fans a chance to enjoy a delicious dinner with a star, while laughing the entire way through their meal.

Since 1992, Smirnoff has performed in his own 2,000 seat theater in Branson, Missouri, where he has entertained over four million visitors and produced several outstanding award-winning shows. His comedic style is firmly grounded within his mission statement “to experience happiness and teach it to the world with passion through comedy and sensitivity.”

In Yakov’s all new show, audience members will enjoy his insightful and laughter-filled philosophy on life, love, family and country. He takes his comedy to a new level to showcase laughter’s effects on relationships and envisions a world where sadness and tears are replaced with love and laughter. The New York Times called his one man hit Broadway show, “warm-hearted, delightful and splendidly funny.”

A mainstay in the entertainment scene since the late 1970’s, Smirnoff was a regular guest star on the award winning NBC sitcom, Night Court.  He has been a popular guest on numerous national TV shows including the Tonight Show. You’ve seen him on HBO and enjoyed his humor on his highly praised Showtime special.

America’s Favorite Comedian, Yakov, has also co-starred in movies with Robin Williams in Moscow on the Hudson, Tom Hanks in The Money Pit, Meryl Streep and JackNicholson in Heartburn, and Richard Pryor in Brewster’s Millions.  He was invited to perform at the White House for several presidents and honored guests. President Ronald Reagan called Yakov a “national treasure.”

“Yakov is a funny philosopher,” stated The Philadelphia Inquirer. His humorous philosophies can also be heard at Missouri State University and Drury University, where Smirnoff is a professor who teaches about the relationship of love and laughter.  Also a bestselling author, Yakov received his master’s degree in psychology from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

Whether on stage or in a classroom, Smirnoff’s audiences love him. He is passionateabout helping people extend their honeymoon stage of their relationships and “fall in love and laughter all over again.” While in the process of doing so, he leaves his crowd in stitches, fulfilling his promise that you will laugh your Yak- off.
