Exclusive Boards.ie Q&A with one of Ireland's top entertainers. What's your question?

**Darragh** · 02-11-2009, 15:58

We've interviewed soccer stars and politicians. We have musicians and other personalities on the way but I wanted to give you first dibs on questions to one of Ireland's top entertainers.

Since he appeared on our screens in 1989, this Dublin northsider has gone on to dominate the music charts, including a Christmas number one (in December 1996, beating the Spice Girls), to run for the Irish presidency in 1997, to represent the country in Eurovision, to insult pretty much every personality on Irish TV and to present his own news show.

With six albums under his builder's belt and a trip to South Africa for UNICEF to see the mportant work going on in Kwa-Zulu Natal with children affected by HIV/AIDS, unemployment and poverty just completed, I'm delighted that Dustin the Turkey will make time in his schedule ~~this week~~ EDIT: next week - for a video interview where he'll answer the questions you put here.

GO ON YA GOOD THING!!

Put your questions below. His wikipedia page is quite informative and he's over on twitter here.

Do you want to ask him how it felt to be knocked out of the Eurovision? For a quote on a building job? We'll take your questions and put it to everyone's favourite Turkey Vulture. Who knows what sort of answer we'll get back?

The earlier you get your questions in, the higher the chance we can ask them!

This interview will now be next week, possibly on the 11 November

Well everybody has a story! I wouldn't call him a "muppet" though...

ScumLord · 02-11-2009, 16:08

How does it feel to be more talented yet less successful than Ray Darcy? You looked very similar back in the day ye'r the same height and everything.

Also do you support the legalisation of cannabis?

Elmo · 02-11-2009, 16:08

Does he think Rodge and Podge are just milking at this stage? Any chance of getting Ray D'Arcy to go back to The Den with Dustin as main presenter? Also why didn't I win the Pringles Competition back in 1990?

Mr.Nice Guy · 02-11-2009, 16:08

Please ask him does he still keep in contact with Snotser Galligan.

Any chance of putting the Christmas Number 1 video on You Tube?

Do you go out on the lash with your old buddies Sockie, Zig & Zag? Does Sockie bring his blue bucket with him? (you know, in case he doesn't feel well)

Any comment on the Bulling in RTÉ and how you beat the boss

Prob a little controversial though! (Nothing to Do with the Afternoon show or Toast for that matter).

Maybe I'm just deliriously happy today but I took that to be a joke on the fact that literally, Dustin is a puppet

Anyway, my question is if/when you become Taoiseach, what'll your first act be?

and/or

What do you think of Ray Darcy these days?

No, he's a puppet, muppet is probably trademarked by the Jim Henson company!

Quick question, are we interviewing the turkey character or the voice and real persona behind the turkey?

Real persona Question: Are you (the voice of Dustin) happy that you aren't recognised by all in sundry as you walk the streets of Dublin. In a posh way...do you enjoy the relative obscurity of your fame?

Turkey Question: Bibi Baskin, in her prime...would ya?
