Gay Byrne interviews Gay Byrne...

Reginald P. DuM

Some of these shows will be good in the coming weeks.. I cannot stand Gabriel Byrne however so giving tonights a wide berth.... Just hate the way he goes on. Probably bit harsh but if ya take a dislike to someone what can ya do!!

Why does the cameraman zoom so close in? I dont really want to see up there noses.

I enjoyed the interview. I thought it was very honest and straightforward. I like Gabriel Byrne, though I didn't think he looked his best in it. He is a straight-talking honest kind of guy. He had obstacles to overcome, including abuse as a child, which must have been pretty hard to deal with, yet he managed to succeed in a very difficult business. I admire him for that. He's talented and hard working.

As for Gay Byrne, I wouldn't be a fan, but ..... live and let live IMO. If he wants to work until he drops, and RTE are willing to pay him for doing so, then fair play to him!

Same here. I wasn't planning on watching it but caught the start of it and got hooked in.
As for Gay I just imagined what it would be like if Tubridy was doing the interview - it would be all "And how did that make you feel?" followed by "Tell us a bit more about that".

Gay is just in a totally different class as an interviewer.

thatsa spicy

Gay Byrne has contempt for the common man I believe. He looks like somebody who would hate those on the dole.

Also, does anybody get the feeling that he thinks death is such an injustice, even though he's got to live as good a life as any Irish person ever has?? Why can't you accept that it's game over Gay?
