Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and "Real Time" host Bill Maher don't have positive feelings about each other – and apparently it's a family squabble.

At the close of Monday's "O'Reilly Factor"  O'Reilly disclosed he will be the focus of an upcoming episode of the PBS series "Finding Your Roots." 

"I was interviewed by Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, and the doctor told me some pretty amazing stuff about my ancestors," O'Reilly said. "But when he told me who one of my distant cousins is, I blinked. I blinked a lot. Does the name Bill Maher mean anything?"

O'Reilly let out an audible sigh, then made a cross from his ink pen and forefinger.

Maher has called O'Reilly a "blatant, bald-a**** liar,"  while O'Reilly has said the atheist Maher blasts religious people because he doesn’t want anyone telling him taking drugs or committing adultery are wrong.

"Factor Tip of the Day: You can pick your friends; you cannot select your relatives," O'Reilly said.

O'Reilly's episode airs January 12.
