    All the makings of yet another terrible RTE show.

    My prediction is that the RTE sheep will copy The Graham Norton Show format with this one.
    We will see.

    Brendan O Connor has about as much charisma as an iceberg lettuce. I don't hold out much hope for this series.

    I think that this:

    :pac:~~

    works very well in place of a vomit emoticon.

    The very thought of this show makes me want to :pac:~~ .

    First show and the best they can do is Peaches Geldof?

    They are scraping the bottom of the barrel very early.

    Does not bode well for future shows....

    Car crash tv in the making. That Brendan O Connor chap has to be the worst choice in presenter.

    He's got no charisma, he's not funny and he has no likability (sp?) factor at all.

    yeah, jaysus you think they would have pushed the boat out to try and get a couple of decent guests for the first show.. Is it true he's getting 90K for each show?

    You have got to be kidding me. Who gave this guy his own tv show?

    He is fcuking awful.

    It's bad enough that RTE give him work as a judge because he released a comedy single once...

    I doubt that people want to see him taking over from Tubridy on saturday nights.

    I honestly don't know what RTE are going to do next, it's like some sort of comedy circus of errors.

    Surely they must do some sort of research before they put out these shows.

    Sorry that this post is kind of rant orientated, it's just that it's beyond a joke at this stage.

    Agree totally. A complete a**ehole who is about as funny as genital herpes. And as for the opening line-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Twink:eek: and Linda Martin:eek: are being dug up for the occasion. Can it get any worse. Total car crash tv. Can't wait to read the excoriating reviews.:D

    Only because they didn't know Twink and Linda Martin are also part of the guest line up.

    If that was the sort of thing RTE were putting out, I would have no problem paying my tv license.

    Get Brendan O'Connor and Pat Kenny in on the fun as well.

    I really wish they'd just put Pat Kenny back on the Late Late and move Tubridy back to Saturday. Kenny was wasted on it the Late Late, but at least wouldn't have the predicament that we now face. Of all the people they could have chosen to present the show, they decide to pick the most :confused::mad::( of them all.

    Pat the plank.

    ehh no thanks.

    If they were any way smart they would have been pushing Dara O'Briain to the fore when he was at RTE.

    But of course no, they stick with the same dull characters that they always have.
    Or else they give shows to comedians that aren't even funny.
    Watching Jason Byrne really is car crash tv at its summit.

    I do feel sorry for Andrew Maxwell though.
    He has his moments, it's just a pity that he couldn't carry his own tv show.

    It shall be a glorious night,
    An historic event.
    O'Connor interviewing as Geldof gazes at the crevasse between his eyebrows,
    And Twink and Linda preparing their parts backstage.

    Brendan is OK. Better than Tubridy anyway.



    This Callan fella is sh!te. He needs to feck off for a few years and then come back. I don't need to hear a crap Enda impersonation. Feck off.

    As I've said before, Callan is very good at the voices but has no material.. His material is very lowest common denominator.

    That's all well and good, but a moderate talent for sounding a bit like a politician while having absolutely no sense of humour hardly warrants applause.

    (If it did, Enda Kenny would get standing ovations everywhere he went.)

    Callan's material is rubbish. Utterly sh*te. He's simply another in the long line of Rté rent-a-guests that pop up on bargain bin shows like these in lieu of anyone who's actually interesting, entertaining, or with any actual talent.

    Bad Guest List
    RTE are obviously going to put the best guest list possible tonight with most high profile guests possible. Brendan o'connor not great, but maybe in time??? TBH, i think you have to give him a chance, stop complaining about him, hes only been on half an hour!!!
