Worst presenter on TV (any show)?

Pigman II

I'm gonna nominate Bill O'Herlihy off RTE2.

It's not just that he's incompetant (which goes without saying) but he gives off this general air as tho he'd rather be somewhere else right now. Just now he was reading the link off an autocue and pronounced 'Ole' (as in Ole Gunnar Solkjaer) 'Ole' (as in 'Ole Ole Ole were off to Italy!' - don't worry it'll make sense to a footy fan reading) before quickly correcting himself. This kind of carelessness is just typical of his lack of interest in whatever it is he's talking about on any given occasion. Kind of ironic considering his role is to be the 'enthusiastic hungry question-asker'.

So which presenter do you really think is a waste of make-up / lighting / skin?

This isn't the place for 'annoying' presenters btw, just presenters whos ability to actually do their job is highly questionable in your opinion.

Pat Kenny on the Late Late Show really is terrible. compare his presenting skills to Gay Byrnes and the contrast is huge

I think Bill's involvement in the hillarity that is RTE's soccer coverage is crutial. He's the old man who knows nothing about the game and throws in the odd observation that I reckon the lads make during the break only to be told he's wrong and Gilesy goes on a rant about how Leeds used to play back in the age before electricity while eamon tries to get high on the ink from his pen....

Altogether I wouldn't miss it


PS: Pat Kenny is a farce and doesn't deserve to talk to Paedo's

Danny Baker, cant remember what he presented (not surprising) but christ I hate that guy! I expect to see him in a Reality show one of these days (if he hasnt already!).

Marie Hayes, giggles like a teenager saying how nervous she is, get the heck off then!

Then hesistates until she remembers what programme she's supposed to be introducing.

Stick to your radio show woman!

I couldn't disagree with you more. I think he's top class, subtly getting the best out of top class pundits. Compare & contrast with the BBC or ITV. Bill is a national treasure.

I find Tom McGurk to be the opposite. He's constantly interrupting interesting answers with more questions, then suddenly cuts off for ad breaks. Seems to think he's at least as interesting as the experts, unlike Bill who controls things nicely from the sidelines.

Rachel Allen. God that woman pisses me off. She thinks she is Irelands answer to Nigella. Hate her. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Agreed.

Also I think that Ger Gilroy on Park Live is atrocious (sp?)

fobs

Definately Pat Kenny as he is totally out of his depth on a talk show like this. He is better with factual programmes but is no good at idle chat.

Miriam o'Callaghan on her talk show but she is good on prime-time.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

That Julian tosser on ITV. dunno if he's still in action or what. And the long haired maniac on E4 who did big brother's big mouth recently. Don't know his name, but he screams a lot and has to stop himself from explaining his jokes.

Bill O'H is okay. Come on, you need someone who's going to make arse of himself in that situation. Rather him than Gary Lineker any day.
