Late Late Show - The Misery Porn channel

Depends what you mean by ā€˜sheā€™?

On now

She has the head of a ā€¦

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

Twas kind of pointless-she didnā€™t have time to get into any detail on the subject and told us what we know already. Maybe thatā€™s the point of the Late Late.

Six times!! :face_with_peeking_eye:

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 somethingā€¦ā€¦

I did too, i still donā€™t know what she really does to warrant 6 appearances.

Yerrah Tubridy is only phoning it in these days. Heā€™d have garnered 2.78m viewers if heā€™d bothered his arse getting Gerry Hutch on. Heā€™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 - itā€™s like the Sunday Game studio panel on a Friday night - toothless company-men and women.

Sheā€™s interesting to listen to and doesnā€™t pull her punches, sheā€™s smart and has a dry and quick humour, a good guest for a chat show Iā€™d say, though Iā€™ve only ever heard her on radio.

You donā€™t like her? Takes all sorts I suppose

Did you watch the segment?

No, Iā€™ve never seen her on TV
I thought we were complaining that sheā€™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. Sheā€™s an Irish Independent journalist as far as I know.

ā€¦ and sheā€™s from Cork
