    Surely they must realise themselves that this is in no way funny?

    Barry Murphy certainly does: look at the misery painted all over his face.

    If the writers were on drugs it'd have some chance of being funny..

    Woeful content, that messages gag before the break.. Oh Lord..

    I too am a fan of Myers but clearly TV comedy aint his forte. But he's not alone there.

    Murphy seems like he's in mourning.

    Maybe it'll improve so I'll keep an open mind. But jaysus a teleprompter would have raised the production values above something looking like it was produced for a leaving cert project.

    Terrible stuff, thought terry prone was alright she actually was a bit witty, that so called comedian with Meyers isn't funny at all.

    Something always wrong with RTEs attempt at current affairs comedy, thought this might be something a bit different but its trying to be Have I Got News For You (without the humour)

    I can't believe how bad it is. Terrible. In a promo ad Kevin Myers said that it will be truly awful. He was spot on with that comment.

    They've taken the best bits of "Would I lie to you" and thrown them away, then kept the rest. No banter can develop if they're allowed ask only one question.

    This probably worked on paper. It's not working on TV.

    Murphy is doing his best, and is at least remembering to try to be funny occasionally. Mario Rosenstock is a genuinely talented comic, but is just coming across as smug here. Kevin Myers is simply being Kevin Myers, and that, sadly equates to being no Ian Hislop, and he's looking really out of place.

    The real problem is that in tweaking the format to make it microscopically different to HIGNFY, they've turned it into a pile of disjointed, unfunny, lumpen sh*te.

    The choice of guests is pretty awful too, I know Gildea is a mate of Barry Murphy from the Mr Trellis days, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he's about as funny as an unexpected crotch punch while you're grieving. As for Terry Prone...Jaysus.

    Maybe if they view tonight's broadcast in the cold light of day, they can tighten up, drop the pretence, just call it "Have I got news for you, so I have" and concentrate on being funny with genuinely funny guests instead of mates and liggers, then there's hope for the future.

    *oh jesus. Theres a call my bluff round. Ignore the hope for the future bit. Kill it now.*

    Why the **** are the scores given as goals and points?

    This has taken RTE comedy to a new low. And after The English Teacher and The Roaring Twenties that is quite an achievement. Horrendous.

    I see that Kevin Gildea was actually credited as a writer on the end credits.

    It was bad but I've seen much worse.
    The studio looked around the same size as my tv room and I'd imagine it cost RTE 50p to make.
