The guy is a legend,

But you would never think he looks like what he looks like after hearing him on the Radio.

I would have put him on Ryan tubridys body

discuss

deadhead13 · 22-09-2009 12:16am

Thing is, most of us already knew what he looked from his TV days. Anyway, I agree its a good show. I'm just surprised it doesn't get a bigger audience.

Fuzzy Clam · 22-09-2009 1:05am

You want us to discuss Moncrieff in Tubridys body?

I thought he was seeing Aoibhinn?

Never been a huge fan of Moncreiff. Had his chance with the Sat nite show. Not sure why they dropped that. I'd rather listen to Derek Mooney's show. Derek is very honest and naturally funny, though the show is a bit offbeat. Not really into wildlife, and wouldnt be mad on that boggerwoman he has on.

Can't stand Mooney or Neena ni Nawna when she comes on ranting and raving. The two most annoying voices on radio.

Moncreiff any day!

Agricola · 22-09-2009 11:57am

Yeah Moncrief is a legend. Remember him on Dont Feed The Gondolas? He had this real sarcastic humour which he doesnt seem to really have anymore. Maybe it was all an act for TV! Its a pity the TV work didnt work out. I think he'd make a natural chat show host.

sarah_lennon · 22-09-2009 1:41pm

he's 48, doesn't seem like he should be that old

brettmirl · 22-09-2009 2:20pm

Apparently I sound like Moncrieff. Not sure if i should be ashamed or proud...

lampydoo · 23-09-2009 7:45pm

Moncrieff is brilliant! Always a great listen!

No Evo, you're not at my level:). Use the noodle next time you go to start a thread, and no personal insults either please.:rolleyes:

deadhead13 · 23-09-2009 10:33pm

Funnliy enough, just after I posted in this thread I saw regular contributor to Moncrieff's philosophy slot, Fr. Brendan Purcell, on the repeat of The Late Late Show and he looked nothing like I thought he would do. Declan Carty would be another example.

robk24 · 23-09-2009 11:32pm

the guy is brilliant... never fails to make me laugh at least once a day....

He had a chat show for a while years ago but I don't remember it being very good. The only guest I can remember from it is Chris Penn (Sean Penn's lesser known and now very deceased brother)

thebigcheese22 · 24-09-2009 8:50pm

I love when he does shows around the country (like in the Ploughing championship) and some scobes shout at the studio! He normally has an intellectual put down or two for them

a bunch of such scobes ( culchie scobes so gentlemen compared to conventional kind ) were standing beside me at the newstalk stand at the ploughing championships yesterday , a few of them shouting up , asking could they be on the radio , i told them they should be allowed as they all had faces for radio

coopersgreen · 29-09-2009 3:48pm

I like his show. He's self-aware enough not to take himself as seriously as practically every other radio presenter, especially on Newstalk (bar OTB), and it's so refreshing.

yeah but moncreif flys through material where as george takes a half an hour to get through one sentence , seriously , if he was saying mass , you would never have to go home as one sunday would drift into another

IronMan · 30-09-2009 1:58pm

I enjoy the movies and booze slot they do on a Friday.

The harrowing interview with the rape victim was very well handled I felt. One of the better radio personalities in Ireland.

thebigcheese22 · 02-10-2009 3:47pm

Anyone listen to his interview with the owner of a 'haunted' pub in England? It was ****ing brilliant! After a couple of badly answered questions, at the end she admitted she hadn't seen any ghosts and her customers never saw one. Moncrieff must have been banging his head against the wall talking to her! Fecking brilliant radio

icanhearjimi · 03-10-2009 12:59am

if he didnt answer 'eh, not too bad' every time someone asks him how he is it'd be a good show. 'eh, not too bad'

I was just trying to remember who that was. It was a cringe inducing interview, sean trying to make jokes that all fell flat, chris just sat there looking uncomfortable.

Should be up here in the next few days

ste88m · 03-10-2009 3:10pm

Have to say, I think it's a great show. Moncrieff is always very witty. Pity the listening figures aren't great.

What do ye all think of Henry, the reporter? Has anyone noticed there is a decrease in vox-pops and Kidstalk recently? Pity.. Kidstalk was usually fairly funny, especially with the inner city Dublin schools.

Thornography · 03-10-2009 3:46pm

Henry seems to me like they put him in a personal joke among the rest of the cast and producers. Giving him really mundane topics to talk about, with kids of all people and being told to be as serious as possible. I dunno but that's how I feel. Dont get me wrong its quiet funny, but I really think the cast have a good giggle at him behind his back

Mossy Monk · 03-10-2009 7:15pm

Been a big fan since his Don't Feed The Gondolas days.
