    God yeah. If you don't yourself, rent his DVD and it'll change your mind. The first couple of minutes are weak enough but it sets up the rest of what can only be described as laugh out loud stuff.

    I did notice that the camera man tended to linger on her more than anyone else, slim pickings eh :p

    I cant stand her. What is her story anyway? RTE seem to be pushing her everywhere, I even saw her recently hosting some young scientist thing on RTE2 and she hadn't a clue what she was at. All she ever seems to do is have that big goofy smile on her face!

    Shes still fit though so at least has a step up on some of the other RTE offerings but I agree that they should just stick another man on there. Like is there any woman out actually thinking "yes, they've got a woman on this, we are being well represented"?!!

    She's just there as eye candy I presume. She's a very cute girl but there's definitely a touch of the chipmunks about her with those enormous fiacla.

    RTE do seem to be pushing her alright. Wasn't she on Test the Nation too?

    She must have a very good publicist behind her. Also see Nikki Hyaes, who seems to be appearing everywhere, for no reason.

    Well according to this, she may just be smarter than the average cookie.. thereby justifying her presence at the Young Scientist Event.
    Rose of Tralee, Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain (center), who completed her first-class UCD honours BSc degree in Theoretical Physics in Summer 2005

    She needs media training if she's to make it though.

    Oh and on topic, I saw Dara live in Vicar Street last year and thought he was halarious, and I do think that he's a better host than Murphy, but Colin is getting better.

    Apparently O'Briain will be back in the host seat for the last show next week.

    Ray D'Arcy seemed very uncomfortable. I thought David Norris was good though.

    Thought the same about ray

    Jesus I knew there was something i didn't like about her!! She's going to be the new Pat Kenny. Albeit a female.

    Well...hes still obviously excited about the whole thing and being a "celebrity" here means most interviews with him for the next while will have at least a question about the kid.
    He did seem quite uncomfortable being there though.

    Grrr...Colin Murphy again. Very annoying. I like him as a panelist but a terrible presenter (as I have already said on this thread I think).

    Another new girl this week..."she's not funny" yada yada hey. All the women they get on aren't funny apart from Paulinne McLynn,. Despite what y'all say I think she's funny and not just in a 'best of a bad bunch' or 'she was mrs. doyle' way.

    Still, new girl was better than Mairead she wrecks my head.

    It was good last night, still seeing too much of Colin's hogging. And he's so damn ugly to look at. I know Dara aint a beaut but at least he doesn't pull faces like Colin does...he looks like a fricken ape.

    Referred to by Gaybo on his radio show :

    http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701

    The lack of funny women is nothing to do with RTE or a chauvinist Irish standup scene - its genetic.

    So now we know.

    Calling Dara O'Briain a "goober" is just unfair, hence its controversial :D

    And I too agree that no woman is funny enough to be classed as a comedian, Ive yet to see one. The closest thing to a funny female is Deirdre O'Kane, and Id only class her as average. I dunno what it is, we must lack funny genetics... myself not included of course, coz Im a hoot :cool:

    I think colins good not great like dara but then again dara's made the decision that he'd prefer to be on english television...excuse me,cough,cough,sell-out,cough... ahhh! thats better. So if you look at it they have no choice. Colins the only one around on a consistent basis.

    On a side note am i the only one you thinks ed byrne is a waste of space on that show, i mean he contributes nothing of value and is only there cause he used to be funny.

    Maxwell on the other hand is pure genius, that remark about that hairy fine gael td in a hair net had me in tears!
