Kevin, the teenager on RTE in the 90's.

Jamey · 2007-03-17 15:42:42

This is driving me a bit mad. Does anyone else remember like a teen presenter on RTE in the 90's. He was called Kevin and did maybe a show on Saturday morning. Anyone know what happened to him or where he is now? Or does anyone else even remember him, I'm sorry I dont have much more detail! And does anyone also remember…

Seems to have vanished off the face of Dublin. *starts Find Kevo campaign* Maybe he doesn't want to be found, I wouldn't.

I was in the Audience on Scratch Saturday once with a few of my mates, and after being thrown into the corner of the set by King of the Gingers, Andy Ruane, we were next to BleedinRapidKevo(tm) while he was dressed in a Robin Costume for some sketch. Even more charming, was his way with us kids "Touch f*ckin nuffin, or I'll f*ckin kills ye all". Classy guy!

Was that lad's name O'connell by any chance?? Something tells me it was, but I'm not 100% sure

God he was extremely annoying - how he got on so many shows is beyond me

I met him twice. Once a few years ago at the launch of Playstation 2 in the Redbox and once a few months ago in RiRa when Kathryn Thomas and John Aldridge and all were there as well ( think there was some charity "You're a Star" type thing on at the time) Needless to say we hassled him for the entire night both times.
