Can't get enough of the Common rapper controversy? You're in luck: Jon Stewart will appear on Bill O'Reilly's Fox show Monday to debate the issue, notes TVNewser. Some conservatives were outraged that the rapper and poet got an invite to perform at the White House, but Stewart and others accused them of twisting his body of work out of context by focusing on a few controversial lyrics. (Click to see one of Stewart's takedowns.) The O'Reilly Factor airs at 8pm EST.
