The long-haired 2011 graduate appeared on camera shirtless, and O'Reilly and Fox producer Jesse Watters likened him to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" character Jeff Spicoli and Jesus Christ.
"That guy with no shirt, was he Spicoli's brother," O'Reilly joked.

Watters quipped, "He looked like Jesus. I think he walked across the lake after that."
Dornseif said he was portrayed accurately, but Fox edited out most of the good points he made during the interview, or played just the video without the audio.
"It doesn't surprise me the way they acted," Dornseif said. "It's kind of set in stone the way they operate."
