Another infamous Pat Kenny gaffe (Or is it?)

10000maniacs

While interviewing Chris Tarrant tonight, Pat was talking about a guy from the Falls Road Belfast who won £500,000 on WWTBAM.
Pat ends the conversation by this quip "He shovels fertiliser in the garden now".
Is Pat inplying that this guy used fertiliser for other purposes on the Falls Road before he won the money?

Maybe we should shovel some fertiliser into Pat Kenny and get rid of his massive wage bill. Might bring down the TV Licence fee .... you never know.

Did anyone else feel that Gaybo was trying to take over the other week...and didn't know his 'place' :rolleyes:

I reckon he's contrasting (badly, bold Pat) with the guy's former (when he could get it) job as a "sewage worker with a shovel".

I can remember the guy being on the show and I thought at the time Tarrant was overemphasising the guy's situation (he was unemployed and Tarrant kept mentioning it) but I suppose he was showing what a difference it could make to his life and was probably genuinely pleased about it.

Not really. I think he's experienced enough to know it's not good to hold court on someone else's show.

However (and sorry but this is unrelated to the original post), I have to say that Brendan Grace singing that song to Maureen O'Hara was one of the most surreal moments I've seen in a long, long time. I ended up face-down in the couch with my hands over my ears when it became apparent he wasn't taking the piss. And then she tried to kiss him and he pullled away! As if going bald wasn't enough of a stress for the poor woman.

seems like a harmless enough comment ... instead of shovelling sh*t in the sewer he's shoveling fertiliser in his garden

I remember that show aswell with Grace and Gaybo. When Grace started singing I had to leave the room.

And yes, I did think that gaybo was upstaging Pat, but without trying! God sake put Ecksor on instead of Pat Kenny. Now THAT would be fun.

Kenny deserves only a fraction of his current salary.

That said, he can be very funny unintentionally. He reminds me of Alan Partridge in the first series of "Knowing me knowing you" or "Cognoscens me cognoscens te" as the Ancient Romans would have called it.

He was. And as much as i'd love to see Gay back on the Late Late, he shouldn't have acted that way. No matter how **** Pat is, it's still his show. It's his contract and it's his job. Another guest wouldn't get away with doing it, and there's no reason why Gay should.

I reckon Ryan Tubridy will replace Pat Kenny et all!

Looking forward to his show on Saturday night! Is he the new "Gaybo" in the making?

Someone told me that while interviewing B*witched, he said that "Did you know that hedgehogs have no fingerprints?" which hand no bearing on what they were talking about and then carried on regardless.

I wish I had seen that, I'm laughing now just thinking about it.

I concur with Illkillya in his agreement.

Tubridy can suck farts out of a dead badger while playing a tin whistle and I still couldn't listen to/watch him. Then again who would?
Besides everyone knows that w4nker Ryan will get the LLshow...

Spot on!

Pat Kenny, the man who makes Alan Partridge look like Ludwig Wittgenstein

Indeed, it was the most ridiculous piece of TV I have seen in some time - I lost a few pounds in weight simply melting away with embarrassment looking at it. No one would have blamed Pat Kenny if he had given Brendan Grace a well placed, and rather forceful, kick in the arse when he went down on one knee to sing to O'Hara!! That would have at least justified 1 cent our the licence fee on the grounds of entertainment.

Regarding Gay Byrne on the same show... Gaybo has a face as familiar to us as a five euro note.. actually more familiar, as he has been around a lot longer. He will seem to own any chat show he appears on, simply because of our association with him as presenter of the the Late Late Show.
