    Who was the last guest on tonight's show? I missed the beginning/introduction, and then when it immediately became clear it was going to be all about his new baby, I had to mute it. Even with the sound down I was cringing :eek:

    Indeed, it doesn't seem to occur to him that HE might be the problem. I think he's way too tactless and even rude to be interviewing anyone. If he doesn't like someone (which seems to be a frequent occurrence), it comes across to the interviewee and things immediately start going downhill and becoming awkward and tetchy.


    Self-absorbed too:
    Ray D'Arcy should have been all 'what's the craic Jerry?' during his Wednesday phone interview with Jerry Seinfeld.

    Instead, he began with a description of himself.

    "I'm 47. Sort of five-foot-nine on a good day. Balding. Father of one five-year-old daughter. Another one on the way in June... Large family. Nine. Working-class background. That's basically it."

    Clearly Ray thought he was at a speed-dating event, but Jerry seemed to think Ray was an over-familiar telemarketer and responded with disinterested rambles, pauses and monosyllables.

    Yes, there's almost a touch of arrogance about him, as if he considers himself superior to his celebrity guests. Even if he's thinking that way, it's crass to allow it come across to the interviewee.

    He does a lot of voiceover ads that you will hear on the radio. And I've heard him on panel shows as well, usually brought on to add a comic element but rarely achieving.

    Is it any wonder with the salary he is on in RTE. As I said a few weeks ago how many of Ray D'Arcys guests get paid more than he does? Virtually none of them
