Jon Stewart: Will Bill O'Reilly Buy A $4 Shrimp?

"Would you pay $4 for a shrimp if it were wrapped in a $10 bill—netting you a profit of $6?"

This week the General Services Administration chief resigned after it was reported that her office spent exorbitant sums of money on taxpayer-bankrolled conferences. One of the most excessive expenses: $4-a-shrimp appetizers.

Bill O'Reilly was outraged by the lavish spending-sprees. On his Fox News program, O'Reilly said that, despite his own personal fortune, he would never shell out cash for such an expensive item.

"When I walk into a place and see an outrageous price tag, I walk away," he said. "I'm not going to pay $4 for a shrimp—ever."

Famous last words? Think again.

On Thursday's edition of "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart—also indignant over GSA's decadence—challenged O'Reilly to a game: "Can You Make Bill O'Reilly Pay $4 For A Shrimp?" Despite Stewart's generally antagonistic relationship with the conservative pundit, O'Reilly gamely played along via satellite feed.

Stewart prompted O'Reilly with a series of hypothetical scenarios.

Sample scenario: "Would you pay $4 for a shrimp if it were wrapped in a $10 bill—netting you a profit of $6?"

O'Reilly's response: "I would steal the $4 shrimp, and then donate it to the Occupy Wall Street folks so they know what the one-percenters eat."

The epic game escalated to absurdist heights—Stewart involved Adolf Hitler in one shrimp scenario—but you can guess who won the final round.
