You have to judge them by their time. They brought (relative) glamour and excitement to small towns across the land, who had previously to make do with ceilis and little else.

Are you saying ceili's aren't glamourous? It's part of what we are Skid!

This sounds like an ad for Aldi. Are they on special offer this week?

This guy is not very funny...

chipsdave · 24-10-2014 11:35pm

In 50 years time you'll have Tubs offspring interviewing One Direction , thats the way RTE works

Showbands were way before my time. So i can't fairly judge them in context. But they seem soooo lame I can't even put it into words.

They just seem like a cheap lazy cash in on actual rock and roll.

Donie way before my time also but my mother absolutely loved them so even though they mightn't be mine or your cup of tea they did have a big fan base

Atlantic Dawn · 24-10-2014 11:36pm

I understand him perfect and I am slashedish.

Down with that sort of thing! If we don't support Rock and Roll music it might never catch on.

He should be able to give two or three minutes of stand up before the interview.

Was thinking about that earlier. That used to be the format, didn't it?

I don't like this setting up gag interview nonsense.

But this is making me laugh.

leahyl · 24-10-2014 11:37pm

Meh...who's on next?

monkey9 · 24-10-2014 11:37pm

This is after half eleven on a Friday night. A stand up comedian is on and this should be great craic. Tubridy has an unreal talent of making things uncomfortable.

Skid X · 24-10-2014 11:38pm

I think Kevin is a very good comedian, this isn't a great place for him to demonstrate his material.

After the big intro with the crowd clapping and the band playing some song, every interview quickly turns in to an interview with the clerk at the Department Of Social Protection..

I think they scrapped it after Tommy Tiernan's performance

Always wondered why they can't let the comedian do 5 minutes of stand-up, then sit down and talk to Tubs.

Ol' Donie · 24-10-2014 11:40pm

Mum'll be gooon aff er heeed.

CountyHurler · 24-10-2014 11:40pm

Did you hear that Skid... it's OPTIONAL... :pac:

Atlantic Dawn · 24-10-2014 11:41pm

2015 next year, think it's time for me to travel the world.

Behaviour not becoming if an Irishman.

Atlantic Dawn · 24-10-2014 11:41pm

He probably has the horn on him after watching that match.

Un Croissant · 24-10-2014 11:41pm

I'm ripping up photos of ceilis here, like Bob Geldof or Sinead O'Connor.

It means nothing to me (oh, Vienna)

CountyHurler · 24-10-2014 11:42pm

Everybody salute Paddy Cullivan, he's had a successful night miming

Sciprio · 24-10-2014 11:43pm

Listen to that beautiful cork accent.

You mean a five second segment at the end of the show?

Big waste, I thought that was very funny.

Might watch him on youtube after Jools.

Welsh Megaman · 24-10-2014 11:44pm

Till tomorrow night, folks!

Pantigate II: Panti Strikes Back!

More U2 on Jools BBC2 right now.

Whatever floats your boat. I'm 100% Irish and I've no interest in ceilis whatsoever.

purplecow1977 · 25-10-2014 12:06am

I actually really enjoyed the show.
Was praying U2 would do Every Breaking Wave and got my wish.
Really enjoyed Ryan and I definitely wouldn't have been a fan before.
Its very easy to sit at home and judge but its an enjoyable night all round!
Was surprised it was in same studio as Brendan O Connor show,always thought LLS audience was bigger!
On way home for a good sleep :-)

Woah, I was totally joking!

Ceilis are gas. That scene with Graham Norton in the caravan in Fr Ted summed it up.

WoollyRedHat · 25-10-2014 12:41am

What were the choir singing tonight? I ned a new shower song. Barbie girl by Aqua doesn't cut it anymore.

High Hopes by Kodaline

WoollyRedHat · 25-10-2014 12:45am

Sounded so much better than the orginal, thought i recognized it.

Ol' Donie · 25-10-2014 12:47am

Woah, just flicked over to TV3. There's a documentary called Blackmarket Ireland on.

Apparently there are some stalls selling counterfeit merchandise on Henry St!!

Did you guys know about this?

EricPraline · 25-10-2014 1:02am

Do The Late Late Show do any prior research into the authenticity of the guests that they interview?

You appear to be trying to suggest that if they had they they wouldn't have him on. That's ridiculous. The Late Late Show has often had all sorts of charlatans and obviously fake people on, as well as people who most people consider fake. Just because you bought into his fairytale doesn't mean others did. It's probably fair enough to say Ryan could have highlighted these criticisms about him more.

CountyHurler · 25-10-2014 1:18am

It appears he avoided most of the really damning stuff -- ridiculously claiming that "non-disclosure agreements" prevented him from discussing them. On the IQ question:
IQ: Regarding his absence from IQ lists, O'Brien wrote: “I was about nine years old when a teacher administered my IQ test," said O'Brien. "Unfortunately, as I was nine, I didn't know that I needed to keep the paperwork for future reference.”

O'Brien did not respond to a follow-up question asking, since he was using his IQ as a marketing element, why he didn’t later take a Mensa-endorsed test in case that figure got challenged.

I thought there was something dodgy about that non disclosure agreement alright

thelad95 · 25-10-2014 1:43am

This Walter O'Brien guy is a curious one. He actually seems like a really nice, genuine guy despite his success. He's obviously got an aptitude for Maths, problem solving and computer science but there is also a ridiculous amount of crap spouted about him.

He sounded like a pervert

And her informing him where her boyfriend had just come from completely went over his head.
He obviously was not briefed by his top notch backroom team that there was an important match in Oriel park
