The worst one out there, by a distance, is Oliver Callan.
Bad enough that he barely sounds like the people heās impersonating, the sketches he writes are shite also.

I knew a chap who wrote sketches for him. He wasnāt very funny.
Rosenstockās early stuff on Gift Grub had moments of absolute brilliance like Joseās Any Team Will Do, Roy Keane I Better Leave Right Now/If I Wasnāt Roy and most of the Bertie stuff. After 2009 it dipped a lot. His TV stuff was never much good.

Up for the Match just wonāt be the same without Des Cahill (circa 2035).
Des has that oulā natural easy charm that puts guests at their ease from the off enabling them ramble on unhindered with whatever is on their mind.
A bit like a beloved rooral Uncle whoās company youād seek out at a wedding.
Now for yisāā¦ā¦

Gone are the days when it was acceptable or possible to satirise politicians or rte presenters. Theres no way any comedian will be given airtime to take the hand out of joanne or leo.
The last opportunity was for a comedian to dress like luke oāneill and prance around in a plastic bubble. But luke got there first and took the piss out of the people instead.
Besides nothing funny happens any more- weāve become like the germans.

But youāre not, you can never leave. That would be counterproductive.
Iām merely raising a hare here btw.
So many impersonators can do impressions but canāt do comedy.
The Apres Match lads could do both.

The DVD they released in late 2002 was brilliant.

After that painful appearance last night on UFTM by Conor Moore, I withdraw this comment and unreservedly apologise to the forum in its entirety.
Kevin McStay is a fine co-commentator.
I watched the game on RTE and thoroughly enjoyed it but went to Sky for half time and thought that was superb. Best of both worlds.
Was there a spat with Cavanagh and Spillane?
Gaelic football is awful to watch. I turned the final off after two minutes today.

I find myself nodding in agreement with this opinion. 
Barry Egan (Independent Group ājournalistā) is a fine writer on the subject of popular music. Had a fine piece on Lou Reed in Saturdayās Indo. I found myself nodding in agreement despite despising the cunt. This was not the first music piece he had written that led me into this quandary.
