Late Late Show - The Misery Porn channel

On now

She has the head of a …

Her left ear sticks out much further than her right ear.

Twas kind of pointless-she didn’t have time to get into any detail on the subject and told us what we know already. Maybe that’s the point of the Late Late.

Six times!! :face_with_peeking_eye:

Never heard of her.

Curiosity got the better of me and I looked her up. An Z lister if there ever was.
She must be hanging about the canteen or something……

I did too, i still don’t know what she really does to warrant 6 appearances.

Yerrah Tubridy is only phoning it in these days. He’d have garnered 2.78m viewers if he’d bothered his arse getting Gerry Hutch on. He’s the kind of guy we want to hear from, not Poddrig or indeed the ubiquitous Stephanie. All we get is a motley collection of head-nodders - it’s like the Sunday Game studio panel on a Friday night - toothless company-men and women.

She’s interesting to listen to and doesn’t pull her punches, she’s smart and has a dry and quick humour, a good guest for a chat show I’d say, though I’ve only ever heard her on radio.

You don’t like her? Takes all sorts I suppose

Did you watch the segment?

No, I’ve never seen her on TV
I thought we were complaining that she’s on too much,

I heard some of the Christy Dignam interview on playback this morning, that was lovely

Oh right.

Her original reason for being on the LLS was that she lost a huge amount of weight iirc. This has since evolved to her fertility issues. She’s an Irish Independent journalist as far as I know.

… and she’s from Cork

She is on too much
