Word in RTE is that Ray is raging over Mario Rosentocks portrayal of him on his show last night

That and the failing TV show equals a no show

Fair play to Catherine Thomas for jumping in today, enjoyed the show today, she's perfect for that hour, doesn't pretend to know everything and therefore asks the right questions

He spent years taking the piss out of Jerry Seinfeld for the disastrous interview they did, what he didn't realise and what none of his 'fans' ever bothered to text in was that it was his own fault.
I haven't seen the Pammy interview and to be honest it sounds like it would be too embarrassing to watch.

Ray D’Arcy’s boiling blood

As bizarre in its own way was Ray D’Arcy’s claim on Tuesday, November 3, that his “blood was boiling watching David Quinn” on the previous evening’s Clare Byrne Live. Sneering that The Irish Catholic columnist is good at “spitting out statistics”, he asserted that he typically goes unchallenged.

This would have been news to Mr Quinn, or indeed anyone familiar with the Irish media as a whole, but perhaps what Zig and Zag’s one-time straight man meant is that The Iona Institute’s director has a grasp of the facts that’s rarely bettered by the secular puppets who too often serve as talking heads in national discourse.

Republic of telly just took the p1ss out of him too. Poor Ray will probably complain to the DG that he's being bullied!

I just can't warm to Kathryn at all, she just doesn't come across as likeable or genuine.

What was she thinking at the start of today's show going straight into some bimbo nonsense about X Factor????

She's not really appealing to the typical Radio 1 listener with this drivel.

Absolutely was said here before, she never stops going on about this rubbish.

She's a tad long in the tooth for that shoite.

He's probably off trying to "run off" the embarrassment , after all running is the solution to all the worlds problems , don't you know .

Not to mention most of her listeners......

An item on "when live TV/radio goes wrong" has potentially some entertainment value, no dice though.
The talk was swiftly moved back onto matters Kathryn!

What exactly was Will Leahy's brief??

I had moved to Newstalk before he had done anything of note.

"Don't mention the war", seems to be the way they are going to deal with that interview.

The little guy interviewed Pamela Anderson in a manner that Bernard Manning would have found offensive.

Vorenus400

He did mention the saturday show. He started off with his usual Ireland is a small country. Said he met a guy in a shop whose mother won the money on the Saturday night show. The money had done her a load of good. Thats all he said about the show.

Its kinda deflecting the criticism to show that someone benefited from his show

"Some people are chameleon like, in that they change their opinions depending on who they are talking to".

Says the man who used to have a lot of negative things to say about RTE when HE was hanging out with different friends.

The difference being that Manning would have gotten away with it. He had style and class.

I wouldn't have such an issue if he was actually talented and conducted a very good interview, with the few bad remarks, but he had nothing at all to offer. Plain snide and malicious remarks. It's a combination of him not being able to do a simple interview, as well as ridiculing a guest for no reason other than he wanted to.

I'm usually not one to enjoy swipes at D'Arcy by the likes of Republic of Telly, Savage Eye, etc, but have to say, Mario's pisstake of Blackboard Jungle was brilliant.

Naivete would be any of us expecting him to.

In fairness apart from the snide remarks he did come out with 'It must be mad being Pamela Anderson?!' and got her to make a balloon animal.

Wages earned imo.

No he didn't. He was obnoxious. It was just that he had an audience of knuckle-draggers who were up for that sort of thing.

Such audiences are difficult to find in Ireland today.

This Operation Transformation stuff is awful in a countless number of ways.

Get out of it. Manning was in a much earlier era. He was controversial, but had some style. Genius stand up! Best teller of a joke I have heard.

Today, he said it must be mad being Michael D Higgins. Should reintroduce 'How Mad Is That?' and give all these people a Bobble-Head Ray
