Fox News Television Host Bill O’Reilly was rushed to New York Presbyterian Hospital Friday morning after he was found unconscious and lying on the floor of his office at Fox News Headquarters in Manhattan.

The 59-year-old father of two was found by an O’Reilly Factor segment producer who briefly administered CPR before calling 911. Paramedics arrived on the scene ten minutes later and rushed Mr. O’Reilly by ambulance to New York Presbyterian, where he was admitted shortly before 8am (EST).

A source inside the hospital has confirmed that Mr. O’Reilly is undergoing surgery to remove an enlarged ego. “A specialist has been flown in from Beverly Hills because our surgeons have never seen an ego this size,” said the source. “It sounds like a medical impossibility but the ego is actually larger than Mr. O’Reilly.” Another source said that, just prior to undergoing surgery, the popular television host regained consciousness long enough to ask a nurse to find the  “weapon of mass destruction” inside his pants and announce to his doctors that he was "handily beating that dickface Olbermann."

Enlarged egos often develop in highly successful people and, if left untreated, can result in self-destructive behavior that can ruin careers and families. Close friends of former congressman Mark Foley, for example, noticed some unusual behavior in August of 2003 and urged him to see an ego specialist, which he reportedly declined to do. One month later, Mr. Foley asked a 17-year-old congressional page if he’d “spanked it” over the weekend before telling the teenager, completely unprompted, that he had “totally stiff wood.” When the emails were made public in 2006, Mr. Foley resigned and moved back to Florida to sell condominiums.

Dr. Sam Feldman, Chief of Ego Surgery at UCLA Medical Center, suspects Mr. O’Reilly’s metastasized ego approached full size in 2004 when, according to transcripts from a sexual harassment suit, the popular television host phoned up an employee to praise his own appearance on The Tonight Show while masturbating himself with a noisy vibrator. “That kind of behavior is strongly suggestive of a dangerously large ego,” said Dr. Feldman.

CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta said Mr. O'Reilly's condition is grave. "If the ego is as large as reported the prognosis is not good," said Mr. Gupta. "Because after it's removed the Bill O'Reilly we've all come to know will essentially cease to exist." 

Fox News President Roger Ailes released the following statement, “Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill, his family and his ego.”
