The story of him ringing Cat Deeley from the pub in Dundrum Co. Down wishing her Happy Birthday, then flying half way round the world the next morning to be with her for said Birthday is very charming. .
Many a Tipp man hitched from Thurles to Clonmel to ride his sister. Romance isnāt dead.
The great strength of Gay Byrneās Late Late Show was that guests would stick around, and by the last half hour of the programme youād have four of them lined up in a row and conversation could go in any direction.
What has hobbled the chat show format in general, and especially a live chat show format, is the existence of the internet. People are petrified to say anything of interest because they fear becoming a meme or accidentally saying something off the cuff that will get them in trouble.
Back in the day the worst that could happen was the papers might talk about something somebody had said but if youād missed the programme you werenāt going to hear what they said unless youād taped it.

Will Kielty appeal to the typical 70 year old viewers though? My auld lad thinks heāll be giving too many smart replies and is disappointed that Claire Byrne pulled out of the race.
To use football paralance, Kielty has spent the majority of his career outside of the domestic league and the casual viewer wouldnāt know much about him. An Owen Hargreaves playing for England type scenario.
The auld ones would prefer some Covid nostalgia I suppose
I told my mother who is in her seventies that Claire Byrne wasnāt getting it.
āDivil a much lossā was her reply.
Translation: āThatās not any loss - good!ā

Jokeshop RTE reporting like its some kind of scoop. Jesus wept
Heād be grand if he did get it, primarily because he staved off a raft of other useless fuckers who might have been fostered upon is. Your comparison of Hargreaves and his England caps should be replaced with Shane Walsh and Galway footballers to keep the interest of roooral folk.
