Late Late Show - The Misery Porn channel

Fat Donnie was flying first class.

Iā€™d expect that.

Four weeks in and Iā€™m already ready to perform a trademark volte face on the Kielty project.

When Patrick Kielty did PK Tonight in 1995-96 he was bold and challenging. That show was 50% borrowed from Noelā€™s House Party but it was also a deeply acerbic, equal opportunities lampooning of Northern Irish society, which Kielty knew deeply.

But Kielty is no longer the same person, and he is not a good interviewer. He doesnā€™t know the questions to ask. He looks nervous and itā€™s the Stephen Kenny type of nervous. Thereā€™s no flow from his speech. The Late Late Show is not supposed to be the Graham Norton Show. It can encompass light entertainment but it needs to tell you something about Irish society. It canā€™t just be a light entertainment show. If thereā€™s somebody in the background who is intent on making it a cheap knock off of the Graham Norton Show, that is a problem. But there are other bizarre decisions. Weeks 2 and 3 had no musical guests. Week 1 had one musical guest doing one song. Week 4 was a pointless sop to the BMW region.

Weā€™re already at the Stephen Kennyā€™s Ireland losing 1-0 to Finland away from home with a goal conceded by a disastrous attempt to play out from the kickout by Darren Randolph stage.

No. Checked it out there. Never heard it before thankfully.
Thought the long forgotten Bogey Boys (guitarist Jimmy Smith was a brother of Country and Irish icon Gloria) had done a song of the same name but I canā€™t find a reference to it anywhere.

Would it be played on the radio, Ronan Collins type of thing? Itā€™s ve definitely never heard of it

Iā€™ve embedded it above but for your own sake donā€™t click on it.

I stand corrected on Murphy. It seems Tyler is the wanker going by that.

Thatā€™s the song I was thinking of. It was Reform not the Bogey Boys.

Declan Nerney is getting far too much oxygen here

Unfortunately kielty is gone the way of Stephen Kenny and ten hag and despite everyone desperately hoping heā€™d be good - heā€™s shite.

It seems someone with a great influence in Irish media has declared open season on Kielty.

I wonder wonder wonder who that could be.

We must be living in the matrix, because thereā€™s no way Jason Byrne could make a living in entertainment in the real world.
