    I watched it once. It's generally a Fianna Fail wife bringing on a Fianna Fail politician near the end (can't wait for Fianna Fail's Ryan Tubridy take over of the Late Late) in a wheelchair. And we all promise to vote yes to Lisbon re-reun '09. Then a sing-song.

    Seen it a few times I've been unfortunate to be in on a saturday night recently. There's always a sob story. Oh and does Miriam always wear the same dress? Seems like it!

    Did they not have Enda Kenny on it at one point?

    They had Enda on last season and George Lee on this series.

    Fine Gael itself could be seen as a Fianna Fail wife...........
    Agree on almost everything but bicker in public as if they dont. Out of the public eye, the best of friends.

    It's a well known fact that Enda Kenny's wife used to work for Fianna Fail.

    Its the most depressing season so far. Always some depressing sad story for the bulk of the show ending with a happy competition.

    Suppose. Probably from another Fianna Fail family. As is Gerry Ryan who was up for the Late Late. Can imagine the converations in the DG's office.

    Chat isn't her forté. I accidentally caught the end of last week's singalonga Miriam and my stomach churned quite a bit until I quickly changed to another channel. I won't make the same mistake again.

    I never thought it possible, but after seeing this show, there's a bigger plank in RTE than Pat Kenny: wooden and personality-less doesn't begin to describe it! The horror .. .. ..

    This run of her show has been awful! Pat short for example, give me a break! Herpes is funnier than Pat Short!

    It really says something about a show when the best guest on tonight was the ginger kid with the glasses talking about Silicon valley!

    She's still on Prime Time. This is just her summer job!

    It's amazing how she cant make the transition. Just listening to Rachael English covering for Marian Finucane on the radio, and she's doing a great job. None of that Tubridy smug FF false sense of modesty, and more personality than Kenny (though I do think pat is good on the radio).

    She seems very awkward in front of the camera when the focus is on her. To be fair to her she is good enough at the political stuff.

    It's Early Monday morning, and Im just in from the pub.

    The repeat of Saturdays Miriam O Callaghan show is on.

    Can anyone shed any light on why a person who does not look, sound nor act like Elvis Presley has been introduced as "Elvis" to end the show by singing Suspicious minds?

    I haven't seen the rest of the show, was he on earlier as a singer or comedian? or is it some kind of Jim'll fix it style dying wish performance?

    If it's the latter , ermm..Fair play. All the best, god bless.....

    If it's the former, it's utterly sh*t. Rté want a slap.

    Watched a bit of it last night. They had some young IT whiz that was doing great in Silicon Valley. Had the potential to be a very interesting interview but thanks to Miriam's ice queen interview style it was terrible.
    She just didn't know how to let the interview flow and she asked the guy would he ever consider coming back to live in Ireland twice despite the fact that he had given her a pretty concise answer to her question the first time she answered.

    I watched it with the OH (who's not from Ireland) and she just assumed that Miriam was a dizzy blonde that had got lucky with a chat show. Terrible terrible show.

    Kevin Doyle is yer man's name. Tbh, I thought his performance was terrible as well. Looked like a man who had been gigging the previous six months, the voice seemed strained.

    He usually works full time with an Elvis tribute band.

    Christ. I've seen him before, and heard him on the radio. He's normally passably listenable. He looked shattered last night, and the performance was poor. I didn't realise it was him.

    Lets face it it's RTE what do you really expect ?

    The host is married to a big wig in RTE and obviously has had a few strings pulled to get her own prime time (get it) chat show. Oh look its the 7ft tall Amazon woman with 75 kids. A political interviwer trying to look like she has a personality. She'd give Pat the plank a run for his money.

    The vast majority of the guests work for RTE too, therefore they are promoting themselves and their own channel.

    This was the worst of the worst alright.

    I was interested in what the young whiz kid had to say too. He spoke a lot of sense and she really should have fleshed it out a lot more but cut the interview short. Terrible!

    As for the Elvis guy I was waiting for a punchline or something to happen. What the hell was that about..........

    I've heard her being interviewed on a few radio shows - there's a download on Ray D'Arcy's Today FM web page at the moment - and she comes across really well on those. Funny, down to earth, willing to laugh at herself. Point the camera at her and she's like a totally different person. It's a pity the warmth she seems to show when she's a guest seems to evaporate when she's a talk show host.
