Bill O’Reilly and his intrepid investigators attempt to grok the NES craze in this special report from two decades ago. It’s a fun trip back to a time where there were such jobs as “Game-play counselor” and “Fun Club President.” Remember Howard? Of Howard and Nester?

I remember that in a Nintendo Power comic, one of the two was on a gameshow and “correctly” answered “what is the Capital City of Kansas” as “Wichita.”

I didn’t care at the time, but now I live in KS and it haunts me.
That guy’s hair rules.

FUCK IT, WE’LL PLAY IT LIVE!
