** The show was conceived as a parody of ''Series/TheOReillyFactor,'' which made it ironic when O'Reilly introduced a new segment in 2007 called Pinheads and Patriots (which also became the title of one of his books). The segment consists of O'Reilly expressing his approval/disapproval of various people/things, much like the Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger segment Colbert has been doing since his show debuted in 2005.
** One thing that shows what a sharp satire the ''Report'' is is the fact that even though it was meant to be an ''O'Reilly'' spoof, it also in large part predicted the rise of Radio/GlennBeck, whose first TV show (on Creator/{{HLN}}) debuted three months after the ''Report''.

* GeniusBonus: The fireplace in the "interview room" is inscribed with the latin phrase "VIDERI QUAM ESSE". This means "To seem rather than to be". This is both a TakeThat against politicians and the media (and if you're cynical enough, ''any'' successful person in society) for pretending to be whatever will garner public support; and also, as a reversal of the state motto of North Carolina, is rallying support from his home state (''South'' Carolina) by mocking the motto of the Carolina he's ''not'' from. Alternatively, it's a reference to the fact that his fireplace holds a television screen displaying a video of a fire, instead of an actual one.
