PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

As a sidenote to enjoying the show, Hector was bizarre last night. Pretty much zero engagement from him at all. Seems like an odd fella in general.

Just watched a clip - breath of fresh air - may even watch it one the player later on. Except for the bits with Hector in it. Not sure what he's for.

Maybe he didn’t want to be there? I presume “the podcast” was booked so he was probably obligated to attend but I don’t remember him saying anything. I found it odd because, no matter what, you’d think as a fellow comedian/entertainer, you’d put the best foot forward and dig out PK for his first show. Very strange.

These are human beings with somewhat interesting stories to tell.

Who would you like to see on the show?

And every 15 minutes great praise for northern Sinn Feiner Joe Brolly, who was not even on the show. Different guests mentioned him at different times. A set up.

Exactly. He let McClean get the dig in against the British that "we" thought the British army were terrorists. Sorry James McLean and Pat Kielty, you do not speak for all of us. PK should have pulled him up right there. Hundreds of thousands of army security forces served in N.I., there were not all terrorists, most were decent men and women trying to uphold the law / keep peace / earn a living / stay alive. PK could have brought up those pictures of James McClean dressed up in a balaclava like a pira man in front of his children. Not funny. Imagine if a TV presenter in the UK brought on someone from UK who played football in Ireland and who states the Irish security services were terrorists (there was collusion between the Gardai and pira as found in the Smithwick tribunal but the vast vast majority were not terrorists).

All in all, a disappointing Late Late. Clear nepotism in his choice of guests, and stomach churning when McAleese waffles on how her star, most "memorable" pupil was Shinner Brolly married to your one in between Hector and Tommy Tiernan, the one who got her picture up during the show beside Biden. (she was'nt sure was she a cousin or a niece, what was she drinking?)

Are we to expect the same old tripe guests like Padraig, Bannon, Pat Shortt, Huberman etc?

The British state were the antidemocratic terrorists.

"They said I was ruthless, daring, savage, blood thirsty, even heartless. The clergy called me and my comrades murderers; but the British were met with their own weapons. They had gone in the mire to destroy us and our nation and down after them we had to go."

Hector talked briefly about his new TG4 show touring The Philippines and some other nearby countries. Apart from that he didn’t say much else.

I thought PK did a good job last night and gave us an enjoyable ninety minutes.

The foundations are laid now and things will only get better.

However this thread is stuck in a groove and needs a makeover.

Please remove your quoting of my post from your mealy-mouthed and frankly anti-Northern post.

Ha ha ha - Tubridy LEFT the LLS- you do realize that don’t you? He wasn’t sacked he left. And as far as him spending “decades entertaining the public” - ha😀- we’d no fcking choice in the matter and he got paid bloody bucket loads to do what you call entertainment, most on this thread call “taking the utter pizz”- so no I don’t feel one bit sorry for Ryan- off to the sunset with him or wherever he wants to go - lord knows he has enough tax payers money to play with

I liked it a lot. He got the blend of silly and serious right. James McClean isn't someone I would instinctively like but Paddy brought him along decently and I learned something about him that created respect. It's early days yet but my telly's Saorview was rusty from lack of use until last night. I'll watch the LLS again next week.

Oh and Tubs' sob stories, Country and Irish, and yahoo-ism should be burned in a massive furnace and never spoken of again. It was shite piled far too high.

Yes.

You’re living in dreamland if you think it’s a €50k job.

Show business just doesn't work like that.
