O'Reilly does that segment every Wednesday. It's usually pretty funny, and nearly always terrifying; though it does explain much.
"No one in this world, so far as I know, and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby." - H.L. Mencken

It's the same bit that Leno or Kimmel do (or did) regularly. I'm sure that editing helps the segment regardless of who is doing it.

Why would you go to the X Games if you were looking for intelligent people?

This is infotainment. There is no story. The script was already written before the guy left NY. That they would find seemingly stoned, somewhat clueless people to play the parts was a foregone conclusion. O'Reilly's audience can feel a little bit of the self-righteously smug superiority complex that he exudes for themselves. Go to a rodeo, a tea party rally, or a father daughter purity ball and you could find the same depressingly low info Americans there too.
