I can't believe that a Late Late with Derval O'Rourke and Jimmy Carr on it ended up being a bad show. Speaks volumes about the deteoriation of the LLS really.

We kick off the programme with a shameless money-spinner that tries to exclude RTÉ from any blame about the content to follow whatsoever. Then, we've a self-proclaimed intellectual who shows no signs of being able to string a coherent, interesting sentence together. God knows how many times he said "Dub".

Mickey Harte, wheteher you like him or not he's grand to have on for three or four minutes. But for yet another season, RTÉ use the exact same shot with the jimmy jib countless times. You know the one - the camera starts at the back of the audience, tilts down slightly above the performer, then lifts up and tucks in behind the triangle hanging from the ceiling. Or vice versa. Very basic, and used way too often.

Then Derval O'Rourke, one of the two saving graces of last night's programme. Good interview, mostly on her part. Next, discussion about the recent instability in the Middle East. But this turns into a debate about Northern Ireland.

Following this was the most disturbing piece of the Late Late for quite some time. A convicted paedophile gets interviewed. Few of us can comprehend what goes through the mind of someone like that, but this guy can. Therefore, he deserves some attention. However, he sails through the interview. Pat barely challenged him at all. "I doubt you're going to very much like my next guest," Pat began, but the more they spoke, the more it seemed that Pat thought he was pretty OK. Charity group One in Four said today that there should at least have been input from a qualified therapist, to at least challenge assertions he made. It seemed like Pat tried to get the audience to side with the guy as the interview went along.

Jimmy Carr was quite good I thought. He'll probably draw in loads of complaints, but given what preceeded him and what was to follow him, he really wasn't that bad.

Then The Full Monty. RTÉ's flagship programme resorts to its most tabloid moment. A shameful inclusion that has no place on the Late Late - especially on a programme where child abuse is being discussed. When you think of the dignity and pride that the world's longest-running chat show has and see complete rags being made out of it, it's not just frustrating, it's disappointing.

If Gay's not interested in coming back, maybe his production team will. They can't be happy with the way the LLS has gone. I know it'll probably lead to another skirmish or two in the canteen, but aren't a few broken plates worth saving what once was an instiution in Irish society?

Well I went on a big rant last night while watching the show. It stemmed from that really. Thanks though

Can anyone comment on/describe in painstaking detail the Jimmy Carr/Pat Kenny discussion where Pat admits that he is known as "The Plank" ?

Missed it as there was visitors at home - would have thought it was a top 10 cringe-tastic moment and worth a portion of my license fee

It'll be on http://www.rte.ie/tv/latelate/ eventually.

Here's what was said:
JC: (on his girlfriend)...surely a sense of humour is kind of what most relationships are based on, I imagine. You're single aren't you?
PK: (laughs)
(applause)
JC: I got dared by the audience this evening (at his gig) to call you the plank. They double-dared me.
PK: No, no. They don't call me the plank.
JC: The audience said that. But they said - oh! That got a big "oooh!" Is that a nickname, or...
PK: Well, there's a certain person - who may well be a guest on this show in a couple of weeks time
JC: Really?
PK: A special friend of Roy Keane. He christened me, at one point, The Plank.
JC: The Plank? Are you going to have him on and belt him?
PK: You never know...
JC: Come on, that'd make some great TV! It couldn't be more controversial than this evening. But even so...
PK: If I gave him a thump?
JC: I thought it was from some glove puppet thing, they were telling me. No, they were clearly winding me up and I've upset you now.
PK: I'll explain -
JC: They said you'd love it!
PK: I'll explain everything to you later on. [aside] And it's not Dustin by the way. That's Dustin, Dustin the Turkey
JC: Dustin the Turkey?! Are you alright? Have you been getting enough rest, a man of your age? Dustin the Turkey?!
PK: Part of the problem is that you've been out of this country for too long, and perhaps, you don't realise all the things that have happened.
JC: Yeah! Well, judging by this show this evening, you're in a lot of trouble! It's terrible!

Pat decided he'd get his own back. At the end of the interview, Jimmy Carr was asking if we'd see any "winkies" during the Full Monty. He suggested that himself and Pat should join in. Pat said:
"Well you were saying you'd some "small parts"", referring to an earlier part of the interview where Carr was discussing what movies he was in.
"Slam! Pat Kenny ladies and gentlemen! Boom!", Carr replied.

Speaking of Jimmy Carr, me and my friends met him today just past the Rory Gallagher statue near temple bar

Sizzler

I have to say Im totally confused as to what Brush Shiels is famous for? And why would anybody think on the LLS team think anybody would want to see him on the show?

Hes a creamer ! Would be more suited to hanging out with Aslan down the full shilling in Finglas.

Embarassing.

My mam said there was a warm up comedian before the live broadcast went out. Some Dub whos name she forgot, apparently his comedy made Jimmy Carr like a childrens entertainer in comparison

"aw he was awful rude. You woulda loved it probably"

Did Gay and Pats teams ever get physical? I vaguely remember hearin that before.


muletide- no offence was intended Know plenty in the country who use it though (Cavan and Meath at least) maybe its a "Pale and its outskirts" term

As for the anti Brush sh1t, gwan ****! Go to one of his gigs, its classic pissed up Irish trad. Aslan? Those junkies couldnt polish his guitar. Awful awful band.

Pat admitted that he was 'the plank', damn I'd love to have seen that.

It's usually repeated late on Monday (tomorrow). I remember because I think I stayed up late last season to watch the infamous interview with the skirt.

THE Mayor of Kerry has reacted furiously to comments made in a weekend newspaper that slated her dress sense and branded her “a slapper.”

Cllr Toireasa Ferris said she was stunned to read an editorial in the Sunday World which was scathing in its criticism of the outfit she wore during her appearance on the Late Late Show on Friday night.

TBH, I'm not sure. I've heard it loads of times, but it kinda seems to good to be true!

I thought The People of the Year Awards were quite good last night. And a lot of it came down to Gay and the spaciousness of the Citywest. And Donncha O'Callaghan falling over It was nice to see after the shambles of Friday night.

At one point, Gay was speaking about a man in his 20s who died abroad. "He was backtracking... I mean backpacking, of course, when..."

I'm not entirely sure if that was a slip of the tongue by Gay, because a few moments later, the feed from the Citywest dropped momentarily. So, in a related incident, could the autocue have gone belly-up for a moment, innocently confusing Gay and hence the mistake?

medja

Part's of friday nights Late Late were very like the edtion of knowing me, Knowing you were alan kept going on about Hot Pants at the end of the show.

lukin

Kenny said he was going to have the person who nicknamed him "The Plank" on as a guest in a few weeks.
I presume he's talking about Eamon Dunphy?

Tha Gopher

The clues would suggest so, but Dunphy used his now dead TV3 show basicaly as a vehicle to slate Pat the whole time. IIRC Pat publicly complained about it. So i dunno really

what I found most interesting was pats somewhat hitleresque hairstyle this season.
