It looks like Nintendo has another video game console planned for 2017, and it's a throwback to the early 1990s.

According to a report from Eurogamer, Nintendo is preparing to release a miniaturized version of the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) later this year. The system is said to be very similar to the NES Classic Edition: It would come with games built in and use a facsimile of the original SNES gamepad (seen above). Presumably, it would be tiny like the NES Classic Edition — a smaller, near-identical version of the original hardware.

None of this has been confirmed by Nintendo; we've reached out for comment and were told, "We have nothing to announce on this topic."

Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the Super Nintendo? It's time to get familiar: The SNES was the successor to the original Nintendo Entertainment System — the console that cemented Nintendo's position as a leader in the world of video games. It is, in many ways, regarded as Nintendo's golden era of gaming.

The SNES is the console that perfected many of the franchises that Nintendo's still known for today: Games like "Donkey Kong Country," "Super Mario World," and "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" are just a few examples of the incredible catalog of games on the SNES. It's unclear what games might appear on the purported SNES Classic Edition, but if it's legit you can bet that the trio above will be part of that console's lineup.

But, if Nintendo does end up releasing an SNES Classic Edition, would the company be able to keep up with demand?

When Nintendo released the NES Classic Edition console in late 2016 — a miniature version of the NES with 30 classic games built in, with a $60 price tag — people bought it in droves. Nintendo couldn't keep up with demand, and the console has been sold out everywhere since.

Then, Nintendo suddenly canceled the NES Classic Edition last week. No real reason was given, though we've got some ideas. For now, take the report with a grain of salt until we have a more direct confirmation from Nintendo — check it out in full right here on Eurogamer.

What is eSports? History & Rise of Video Game Tournaments

Years ago, eSports was a community of video gamers who would gather at conventions to play Counter Strike, Call of Duty, or League of Legends.

These multiplayer video game competitions would determine League of Legends champions, the greatest shooters in Call of Duty, the cream of the crop of Street Fighter players, the elite Dota 2 competitors, and more.

But today, as the history of eSports continue to unfold, media giants such as ESPN and Turner are broadcasting eSports tournaments and competitions. And in 2014, Amazon acquired Twitch, the live streaming video platform that has been and continues to be the leader in online gaming broadcasts. And YouTube also wanted to jump on the live streaming gaming community with the creation of YouTube Gaming.

eSports Market Growth Booming

To put in perspective how big eSports is becoming, a Google search for "lol" does not produce "laughing out loud" as the top result. Instead, it points to League of Legends, one of the most popular competitive games in existence. The game has spawned a worldwide community called the League of Legends Championship Series, more commonly known as LCS or LOL eSports.

What started as friends gathering in each other's homes to host LAN parties and play into the night has become an official network of pro gaming tournaments and leagues with legitimate teams, some of which are even sponsored and have international reach. Organizations such as Denial, AHQ, and MLG have multiple eSports leagues.

And to really understand the scope of all this, consider that the prize pool for the latest Dota 2 tournament was more than $20 million.

Websites even exist for eSports live scores to let people track the competitions in real time if they are unable to watch. There are even fantasy eSports leagues similar to fantasy football, along with the large and growing scene of eSports betting and gambling.

So it's understandable why traditional media companies would want to capitalize on this growing trend just before it floods into the mainstream. Approximately 300 million people worldwide tune in to eSports today, and that number is growing rapidly. By 2020, that number will be closer to 500 million.

eSports Industry Analysis - The Future of the Competitive Gaming Market

Financial institutions are starting to take notice. Goldman Sachs valued eSports at $500 million in 2016 and expects the market will grow at 22% annually compounded over the next three years into a more than $1 billion opportunity.

And industry statistics are already backing this valuation and demonstrating the potential for massive earnings. To illustrate the market value, market growth, and potential earnings for eSports, consider Swedish media company Modern Times Group's $87 million acquisition of Turtle Entertainment, the holding company for ESL. YouTube has made its biggest eSports investment to date by signing a multiyear broadcasting deal with Faceit to stream the latter's Esports Championship Series. And the NBA will launch its own eSports league in 2018.

Of course, as with any growing phenomenon, the question becomes: How do advertisers capitalize? This is especially tricky for eSports because of its audience demographics, which is young, passionate, male-dominated, and digital-first. They live online and on social media, are avid ad-blockers, and don't watch traditional TV or respond to conventional advertising.

So what will the future of eSports look like? How high can it climb? Could it reach the mainstream popularity of baseball or football? How will advertisers be able to reach an audience that does its best to shield itself from advertising?

Robert Elder, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled an unparalleled report on the eSports ecosystem that dissects the growing market for competitive gaming.

Jimmy Kimmel found a way to kill two birds with one stone on Tuesday's episode of his ABC late-night show. In one sketch, he spoofed United Airlines and continued his ongoing fake feud with actor Matt Damon.

"United has been trying to stay out of the spotlight this week, but they started running a new commercial today," the host said. "I think they may have to get rid of their celebrity spokesman."

We then hear Damon's voice over video of pleasant scenes on a United flight, a stark contrast from the controversial video taken of a passenger getting injured while being forcibly removed from his United flight seat by authorities.

"We’re United Airlines. We work hard to get you safely to your destination and that’s why we," Damon said before pausing and changing his tone.

"You know what?" Damon continued. "No, no, I can’t do this anymore, because I know what it’s like to get bumped. Trust me, I’ve been getting bumped from Jimmy’s show for the past eight years and it takes a toll. We’re people, damnit, and we deserve to be treated with dignity, not told night after night, 'Oh, there’s somebody more important so take a hike.' No, it's time to stand up."

That's when we hear him begin to argue with somebody about being removed from his seat, complete with sounds of a scuffle. We then hear Kimmel's voice say United Airlines' tagline, "Fly the friendly skies," amid Damon's shouts.

Few political impressions have made an impact the way Alec Baldwin's version of President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live" has, even if Baldwin isn't actually a regular cast member on the show.

Baldwin appeared on Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" Tuesday night, and he talked about how he gets into character as Trump, a role that has earned him a lot of love and plenty of hate, including from Trump himself, who has called "SNL" a "totally one-sided, biased show" since Baldwin started regularly doing his Trump on it.

"When I saw your Donald Trump, I think like a lot of people, I went, 'Oh, thank God. Someone has cracked that nut,'" Colbert told Baldwin.

After saying that he does get a lot of "thank yous" on the streets of New York City for the role, Baldwin got into what makes his Trump impression tick. It turns out, he's not going for accuracy.

"It's totally a caricature. You just pick a few things," he said of watching Trump's mannerisms to nail the impression. "I'm sitting in the room, I'm going, 'Left eyebrow up, right eyebrow down. Shove your face like you're trying to suck the chrome off the fender of a car.'"

Then he immediately went into his Trump face.

An ad from Coty-owned makeup brand Rimmel that starred actress Cara Delevingne was banned by the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for exaggerating the effect of the product.

The advert promoted the brand's Scandaleyes Reloaded promising "dangerously bold lashes" and "extreme volume."

A viewer complained to the ASA in December 2016 saying the ad was misleading.

In a statement the ASA said: "Because the ad conveyed a volumising, lengthening and thickening effect of the product we considered the use of lash inserts and the post-production technique were likely to exaggerate the effect beyond what could be achieved by the product among consumers."

According to the ASA's statement, Coty said it used lash inserts to shoot the ad and edited Delevingne's eyelashes in post-production to "create a uniform line," not to lengthen her eyelashes. After comparing before and after photos from the shoot the ASA found the changes to the ad made it seem like the actress' eyelashes were longer. 

Coty, the holding group which owns Rimmel, immediately stopped airing the ad and said in a statement provided to Business Insider: "Rimmel has worked closely with the ASA since the complaint was raised in December. While we regret the decision of the ASA, we will of course comply with the ruling and not air the TV commercial again in this state."

A sexual-harassment scandal has ended Bill O'Reilly's tenure at Fox News Channel, where he has been the host of its highest-rated show, "The O'Reilly Factor," for decades.

Earlier in April, an explosive New York Times investigation found that the host and Fox News had paid out $13 million to five women who had accused O'Reilly of unwanted sexual advances. Another Fox News contributor, Wendy Walsh, and now a clerical worker have also made allegations of sexual harassment against O'Reilly.

In the wake of the accusations and an exodus of more than 20 advertisers from O'Reilly's show, he stopped hosting the show. His official reason was a planned vacation, but reports said that he would not be returning.

On Wednesday, Fox issued a statement confirming that O'Reilly "will not be returning to the Fox News Channel."

How did O'Reilly rise to such prominence and influence? Here's a look at the conservative host and commentator's career — and what killed his show:

SEE ALSO: The highest-paid hosts on TV and how much they make

The counterculture of the 1960s sparked Bill O'Reilly's journalism career.

Bill O'Reilly was born in New York City and raised in Long Island. He spent his early education in Catholic schools and attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. In his junior year, he studied abroad in London. O'Reilly said that when he returned from Europe, the '60s counterculture movement had become very popular in the US. And although he says he didn't participate, his observations of the times sparked his desire to become a journalist.

O'Reilly paid his dues before anchoring his own news program in 1980.

After graduating from Boston University with a master's degree in broadcast journalism, O'Reilly reported for local news stations in Dallas, Denver, Portland, and Boston. He then got his first big anchoring job at CBS's local New York affiliate in 1980. Two years later, he was promoted to the network news team as a correspondent. He was then poached by ABC News in 1986.

O'Reilly cemented his audience appeal as the host of "Inside Edition" in the early '90s.

In 1989, he left ABC News to become the host of the syndicated news entertainment show "Inside Edition." During five of his six years as its host, it was the highest-watched infotainment show on TV. After leaving the show in 1995, O'Reilly enrolled at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government for his second master's degree, this one in public administration.

In 1999, Tony Hawk became the first skateboarder ever to successfully complete a 900, a 900-degree aerial spin.

It happened at the sixth X Games in San Francisco, and it took Hawk 11 tries to land the move. "This is the best day of my life," he told the crowd.

But in hindsight, Hawk, now 48, doesn't see that moment as the pinnacle of his career. That came in 2003 — when Hawk played himself on an episode of "The Simpsons."

In the episode, "Barting Over," Bart meets Hawk and joins his skateboarding tour; then Bart's father, Homer, challenges Hawk to a skateboard match.

"To this day, I still get quoted on the streets from it," Hawk told Business Insider during an interview at the Success Makers Summit in April, hosted by American Express OPEN.

Even more importantly, guest-starring on "The Simpsons" showed Hawk that his personal passion — skateboarding — was gaining traction among a wider audience.

"It was a tipping point of skateboarding being accepted into the mainstream in a lot of ways. Even though Bart has always been a skateboarder per se, it was always considered more of a novelty or an outcast activity."

"It's still one of the highlights," Hawk said of his guest appearance. "I can't believe I got to do it."

Ten years after he bought the beachfront Casa Malibu Inn for $20 million, Oracle founder Larry Ellison is just about ready to unveil the first in a new group of ultra-high-end luxury retreats.

He's doing it with a trio of high-profile partners: Robert De Niro, chef Nobu Matsuhisa, and film producer Meir Teper.

Dubbed Nobu Ryokan Malibu, a new 16-room hotel now stands on the property Ellison bought a decade ago.

It's the first in what is being called the Nobu Ryokan Collection, a new group of luxury retreats in exotic destinations around the world, created by Ellison and the creative minds behind the Nobu restaurants.

The experience, which is modeled after a traditional Japanese inn, won't come cheap — according to Curbed, rooms will start around $1,100 a night, though that rate could go up to $2,000 during "preferred" times.

Let's take a look inside the hotel, which opens April 28.

That location makes for some amazing sunsets.

While this isn't the first Nobu-branded hotel, it's the first to be created in the new collection of ryokan-inspired properties.

Tina Fey’s Netflix original series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" comes back for season three in May, and it looks awesome based on the trailer that just dropped.

Kimmy is going to college! But it looks like season three will stay true to the show's roots and be as weird as ever: Titus is still broke (he is literally coloring money with crayons), and Lillian still has that creepy fling with Robert Durst.

Some of the show’s greatest guest stars are back including Fred Armisen as Robert Durst, Jon Hamm as Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, and Josh Charles. 

The full-length trailer also gives us a longer sneak peek at Titus’s “Lemonading,” which is when you dress up like Beyoncé and smash things with a baseball bat when you think your partner is cheating on you.

Who killed Sister Cathy? That's the question Netflix's new true-crime TV series, "The Keepers," will strive to answer.

Netflix released the first trailer for the seven-part series on Wednesday, and already people are comparing it to the streaming company's runaway hit docuseries, "Making a Murderer."

In "The Keepers," which will be available May 19, director Ryan White ("The Case Against 8") tries to find the answer to one of Baltimore's most memorable unsolved mysteries.

Sister Cathy Cesnik, a 26-year-old nun and a beloved Baltimore Catholic schoolteacher, suddenly disappeared in 1969. Her murder case is still unsolved.

Speaking with friends, relatives, journalists, government officials, and Baltimore citizens, White peels back the layers of the mystery to reveal a potential clergy abuse cover-up by the Catholic Church, the police, and the government.

With every new Nintendo game console, you can reliably expect several franchises to make an appearance: "Super Mario," "The Legend of Zelda," and "Pokémon," among others.

Prime among those others is the "Mario Kart" franchise — a beloved series that's existed in various forms since 1992. But this isn't 1992's "Mario Kart" game:

The upcoming "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" is a gorgeous, updated re-release of 2014's "Mario Kart 8" for the Wii U. It's got prettier graphics, more tracks to race on, and a brand new "Battle Mode." 

It is, in every way, the best version of "Mario Kart" to date. 

Allow me to enumerate the ways:

1. There are an absurd number of Nintendo characters to race as — from the classics seen above to bizarre newcomers like King Boo.
2. There are an equally absurd number of cups to complete (a whopping 12 in total, with four courses each). 
3. The new Battle Mode fixes the one glaring flaw in 2014's "Mario Kart 8" — distinct, Battle Mode-specific courses. There are eight in total in "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe," including four classic maps that have been re-made and four brand new maps.
4. The online battles just work. Instead of the usual Nintendo nonsense with online gaming, "Mario Kart 8" (and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe") seamlessly drops you into matches against players around the world. Want to play against the world and against a friend? You can go online with two players from a single console. It's the best!

There's one major change coming with the "Deluxe" version of "Mario Kart 8" that is slightly less obvious: It's prettier than ever before. 

But how pretty is the new game compared with the 2014 version? Thankfully, IGN put together a video comparing as much — check it out below. "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" launches for the Nintendo Switch on April 28, and we'll have a full review ahead of that. Stay tuned!

NOW WATCH: Here's the gorgeous trailer for 'Super Mario Odyssey' — the first Mario game for Nintendo Switch

Since winning the Oscar for best actress for 2015's "Room," Brie Larson acknowledges her sudden jolt to worldwide fame — as well as the constant job offers that come with it — has taken some getting used to.

Along with her anticipated entry into the Marvel universe — she'll play the lead in a Captain Marvel movie slated for 2019 — Larson laid the groundwork for another potential franchise earlier this year by starring in "Kong: Skull Island." (She also found time for her feature directorial debut, "Unicorn Store.")

Now she's coming out with the ensemble shoot-'em-up comedy "Free Fire" (opening Friday). Larson plays Justine, the only woman in a gang in 1978 Boston that's going to a deserted warehouse to buy guns. When shots are fired, they start a chain reaction that will leave no one safe.

Larson talked to Business Insider about what keeps her grounded, the roles she instantly passes on, and how she sees the industry being more accommodating for women — and where it needs to improve.

Jason Guerrasio: Did it attract you that in "Free Fire" the Justine character is in a lot of ways smarter than all the guys?

Brie Larson: Kind of. I mean, to be honest, I don't know if I think she's a lot smarter than them. She's got a plan, and it doesn't work out so well. I think the one thing she has over them is the fact that she's not trying to assert power or dominance outright. She's surrounded by all these dudes with their crazy suits and mustaches and with tons of ego and she's actually muted and understated and is trying her best to just keep everyone calm and kind of go under the surface, and that's what I really found interesting. Being in a film where you have all of these crazy personalities and then there's this one kind of sneaky, secretive, quiet one who is playing everybody was fun.

Guerrasio: So for you right now, what does a role need to have for you to consider it?

Larson: The main thing for me is just the length of time it takes to make a movie. It's at least a year of just talking about it, talking about it with yourself or your director or your other castmates or the press, so you just want to make sure it's a film that although you initially feel this pull or this drive to it, you don't really have the answers to why you're drawn to it. Part of it is being interested in the character and part of it is being interested in the movie or what it means and the exploration of it. But it's more about not knowing the answers to certain questions but wanting to go on the journey of discovery to find the answers.

Guerrasio: How about roles you would instantly say no to?

Larson: Clichés. Anything that's a cliché.

Guerrasio: Like, a cliché female role?

Larson: A cliché of the female character or a cliché film. Like a film where you know exactly what's going to happen. One of the reasons I love making movies is because it's an opportunity to share with the world a different way of being or a different way of living or seeing the world. If it's something you've already seen before, if I have too many reference points for it, then it's not exciting for me to make.

Guerrasio: You have been working nonstop since "Room." And not just making movies but doing press for them.

Larson: Yes. I feel the same way. [Laughs]

Guerrasio: What's been the biggest thing to adapt to in life after your Oscar win? When suddenly work and attention are both constant.

Larson: I don't think I'll ever be able to grasp this — I just don't really understand why anybody would care what I have to say. I'm just a person figuring stuff out. That's the thing I trip out on all the time when I do days and days of press and you're like, "Who cares what I think?" [Laughs]

Guerrasio: And I would guess you have a similar feeling when it comes to posting things on social media.

Larson: Yeah. I think you just get sick of your own voice and one of my favorite things in the world is just to people-watch and to listen. Interviews aren't about that. Very few interviews are a conversation. It's usually a question and I have to answer for two minutes. By the end of the day, I kind of feel gross. It's like you go to dinner with a friend and then you get home and you're like: "Ugh, I dominated that conversation too much. I wish I let them talk more." That's how it feels for me every day I do press.

Guerrasio: So when was the last time you got to just sit back and people-watch?

Larson: Oh, all the time.

Guerrasio: You can still pull it off in public?

Larson: Yeah. I don't really get recognized much.

Guerrasio: Seriously?

Larson: I'm so serious. And I'm very paranoid about my privacy so I would be the first to tell you if it's all gone. It's not. I'm grateful for that.

Guerrasio: You've been very outspoken about women's rights and equal rights within the industry. Are you feeling any shift in the industry in regards to women being heard?

Larson: The way that I'm feeling the shift is that we are allowed to be part of the development process. So I do feel like things are changing because I'm allowed to option books or write an original screenplay or direct. Those possibilities are really wide open. I think that males still struggle to write for females, which is totally fine because I don't think I could write a really impactful male role because that's not the life that I lived. So we'll just keep shouting and say we need more opportunities for not just women but people that are just different.

I think sometimes I feel saying this is about women or this is just purely a male/female gender issue is only scratching the surface. We need to have points of view from lots of different types of people. People who have different backgrounds, different parts of the world, who maybe perceive gender differently. We're in this time where we have social media, we have the ability to share so much, that I think that we need to create more space and more opportunity for people that are just outside of the typical cliched binary roles.

Guerrasio: You've definitely taken those opportunities to have a voice. You recently wrapped on directing a feature film, "Unicorn Store." You directed a few shorts before that. What was the biggest takeaway from making your first feature?

Larson: There's a lot that I'm still pulling apart from it. I just felt so excited about it. I really just loved every second of it. I loved assembling a team of people that I really enjoyed being with every day and I continue to be in awe of every person on set that has a very specific gift and you need all of them to make a movie. It's this amazing opportunity to be with all these real-life superheroes that have very specific skills and you need all of them to make one thing.

Guerrasio: When will we get to see it?

Larson: I don't know. It's in post right now. I just don't know when the end will be.

Guerrasio: So who's the female director you would kill to work with right now?

Larson: Oh, I would say either Kathryn Bigelow or Ava DuVernay.

Guerrasio: Both are great.

Larson: I know.

And although a lot of people are fanatics of doing tomato sauce with fresh tomato, I tell you, tomato sauce, it’s a lot better when it’s done with canned tomato because you can keep it consistent throughout the year.

NEDEDOG: Room temperature or cold?

VIVIANI: We’re still talking about tomato?

NEDEDOG: Yes.

VIVIANI: Who cares?

NEDEDOG: People love tomatoes, they’re asking.

VIVIANI: Yeah, it’s a lot of questions about tomato. Okay. Doesn’t matter. You gotta cook them anyway. So if you want to eat a salad with it, they better be cold. But if you want to cook nobody cares. It’s not a cake you don’t have to bake anything with it.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that it has sent out 90 letters to celebrities, athletes, and other social media stars warning them that they need to clearly show when an Instagram post was sponsored by a brand.

This is the first time the FTC has reached out directly to social media stars but it didn't disclose the list of people it contacted.

In the statement the FTC said: "In addition to providing background information on when and how marketers and influencers should disclose a material connection in an advertisement, the letters each addressed one point specific to Instagram posts – consumers viewing Instagram posts on mobile devices typically see only the first three lines of a longer post unless they click 'more,' which many may not do."

The letters pointed out that a number of posts used hashtags, such as #sp or #partner, that may not be understood by consumers to designate an ad. The regulatory body has a set of rules, which define how sponsored content should be highlighted.

This isn't the first time the FTC has put out a warning about sponsored content that hasn't been properly disclosed on on Instagram. In March 2016 it filed a complaint against clothing brand Lord & Taylor, which sent out dresses to 50 fashion influencers and paid them to take photos wearing them. It has the power to impose financial punishments as it did with Warner Bros. in July 2016, when it found the media company paid social media influencers, including PewDiePie, but didn't force them to disclose that they had been paid.

A search on Instagram for the #sp hashtag yielded over 10 million results, with many posts having the hashtag at the end of the description.

Celebrities, like Kendall Jenner, came under fire in August 2016 after the non-profit organization Truth in Advertising found over 100 posts that had no mentions of them being paid for.

Like many of the late-night hosts on Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist poking fun at the big news that Bill O’Reilly has been dropped by Fox News. 

The cable news network cut ties with O’Reilly following a barrage of sexual-harassment allegations. The successful political commentator heard the news while on vacation.

“Fox News decided to extend Bill’s vacation to forever,” Kimmel said on his show.

Kimmel also gave an exclusive look at O’Reilly’s "replacement," which was in fact a bit with Kimmel’s security-guard sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, as the host of a parody Fox News show called "The Guillerm O'Factor."

Guillermo, with the tagline "The No La Vuelta Zone," spouts off in an aggressive O'Reilly-type manner about President Donald Trump needing to play a lot of golf because "he's fat." He also claims that the reason Tom Brady didn't attend the New England Patriots' visit to the White House is that he's gay.

Guillermo then teased a "sexy girls with no pants" segment.

Needless to say, this won't be hitting the airwaves of Fox News.

NOW WATCH: Here's The Rock's insane workout and diet he uses to get ripped for 'Fast and Furious'

Anyone who saw the documentary or Broadway play would likely balk at living in the actual home that "Grey Gardens" inspired. After all, the home was in poor shape during the filming of the documentary, and it's even rumored to be haunted.

But it's currently up for sale with a discounted price of $17.995 million — that's $2 million less than the owners of the home originally asked for when it listed in February.

The East Hampton, New York, mansion now looks nothing like it did in the 1975 documentary showcasing the lives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' ex-socialite relatives. 

Journalist and author Sally Quinn purchased the mansion with her husband, the late Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, for $220,000 in 1979. They completely rehabilitated it to the current splendor that it now shows, according to The New York Times.

The Corcoran Group has the listing.

Having satirized the conservative point of view for years on the "Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert could both celebrate and mourn the firing of Bill O'Reilly by Fox News.

"He's been a guest on this show, and I take no pleasure in his downfall. I'm not going to sit here and publicly gloat," Colbert said on Wednesday's "Late Show" before instructing the crew to take the camera off him so he could privately gloat.

O'Reilly's exit comes after an explosive report by The New York Times found that Fox and O'Reilly had paid $13 million in settlements to women who had accused the host of making unwanted sexual advances, as well as new accusations of sexual harassment and an exodus of more than 20 advertisers from the time slot of "The O'Reilly Factor."

O'Reilly said last week he was taking a previously planned vacation. But on Wednesday, Fox issued a statement confirming that he would "not be returning to the Fox News Channel."

"It's not that big of a surprise," Colbert said. "We all saw this coming at us like an old man cornering an intern in the break room."

"The O'Reilly Factor" was the top-rated program across all the cable news networks for more than a decade. Colbert gave credit to O'Reilly's popularity when the audience booed the part of Fox's statement calling O'Reilly "one of the most accomplished TV personalities in the history of cable news."

"By ratings standards, he is," Colbert said. "By moral standards, he was a self-righteous landfill of angry garbage."

But Colbert had to pay some homage to O'Reilly, saying he had based part of his "Colbert Report" character on the conservative newsman. To present another point of view, he brought back the "Report" character to bid farewell to his icon.

"Shame on you. You failed him. You failed Bill O'Reilly," he said to America. "You didn't deserve this great man. All he ever did was have your back — and if you're a woman, you know, have a go at the front, too."

Coming out of the taped sketch, Colbert offered O'Reilly devotees some consolation.

"In case you're a fan of sexual harassers who are on TV all the time, we still have Donald Trump," he said.

NOW WATCH: 'Just a loose hunch': Watch Alec Baldwin impersonate Trump and Bill O'Reilly on 'SNL'

We’re on the cusp of the summer-movie season, and it's going to come fast.

Last year, the big complaint about summer movies was that too many sequels and reboots turned out to be duds. And though you will surely get some of that this summer, on paper at least, this batch seems promising.

You have highly anticipated sequels like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” “Alien: Covenant” (the sequel to “Prometheus”), and “Despicable Me 3,” and on the reboot side, you have Tom Cruise resurrecting “The Mummy,” The Rock flexing his muscles in “Baywatch,” and Tom Holland as Spidey in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

And let’s not forget “Wonder Woman,” Christopher Nolan’s war movie “Dunkirk,” and Luc Besson’s gorgeous-looking sci-fi epic “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.”

Here are 35 movies coming out this summer that you need to se:
