Host of the satirical show The Colbert Report, Colbert was inspired to auction off the microwave he stole from O’Reilly’s green room in 2007 by O’Reilly’s auction of historical interview notes featuring the signatures of both President Obama and O’Reilly.

According to the eBay description, Colbert writes that the microwave is “signed by yours truly, and one hopes by Papa Bear himself. Bid now, bid often, and bid big, because who knows what other celebrities will sign it, or not.” Papa Bear is Colbert’s nickname for O’Reilly.

With over 1 week until the auction’s end, bidding is at $96,500 and counting, with free shipping from New York. Proceeds from both auctions will support military service members and their families. Colbert’s auction benefits The Yellow Ribbon Fund and O’Reilly’s auction the Fisher House Foundation.
