Embattled Fox News host Bill O’Reilly announced Tuesday he’s going on vacation for about a week. O’Reilly said on the air that the vacation was pre-planned, and he expects to return April 24. His popular show, “The O’Reilly Report,” has been hit hard by an advertiser boycott following a New York Times report earlier this month that $13 million has been paid out over the years to settle five sexual harassment lawsuits against him. Tuesday night’s show had just 10 advertisers, down from a typical 33, according to Variety. While ratings for the show have not worsened, New York Magazine reported that Tuesday’s show may have been O’Reilly’s last.
