    Anybody actually think its funny?? Why any show claiming to be funny would have Brendan O Carroll and Deirdre O Kane on it, I do not know. They would be the definition of negative funny. RTE, can I have my money back please

    It just doesn't work very well at all. Them kind of shows should only feature stand up comedians and not journalists and tv/radio actors. The humour is so forced and unnatural. Compare it to 8 out of 10 cats and Mock The Week, the jokes on them shows just flows so naturally.

    The worst thing about it is that Ireland is crying out for a show like this. There is so much bollocks on the news every week it is prime material for some good comedians to pounce on.

    I feel so sorry for Barry Murphy. While it isn't the hardest thing to be the best thing about this show, he is miles above the rest of his guests.

    Me too.

    I wouldn't agree that only stand-ups should be on shows like this. Have I Got News For You manages to do very well with non-comedy guests. Of course it has two great captains which TAWGTF sadly does not.

    Thought last nights was better than the rest of the series.. O'Carroll was actually alright, and I think it beneftied from have mostly comedians on it, rather than journos/commentators..

    Think it should get another series.

    Brendan O' Carroll? Deirdre Kane? That's like unfunny times unfunny.

    Honestly, the exploits of the Bader-Meinhof gang would give me more giggles than the above.
