What Ever Happened to Carrie Crowley?

BESman

So... ya what happened to her?

She presented everything except the news on RTE in the 90's and then disappeared.

I heard she was injured in a shark jumping incident and couldn't present anymore, is this true?

She was eaten by a Morbeg in 2008. Apparently her hair was really made of pot noodle.

I've been trying to ask that question for ages, but couldn't remember her name!! I remember that really annoying cowboy song she had. Actually, I think the utter crapness of that song probably had a lot to do with disappearance from public view!

And Mary Kingston she seems to have dissapeared of the face of the earth, not that I care or anything!

Just saying is all

She presented some cooking show at one stage, fancied herself as an Ainsley Harriot type!

What about Ciana Campbell?

God, she hasn't aged well.

I was fishing in Cheekpoint last year and herself and a friend strolled past. They were looking well in that casual sort of way. Gave them the nod, as you do
'Have you caught much?' they asked.
'A couple of nice bites, nothing worthwhile, but I'm only here half an hour' I lied...I was there two hours..
'Fo shizzle dawg' was Carries reply 'try switching yo bait, local homies be using peeler crab, frozen fo sho'
I tried the frozen bait and it was a bite a cast after that. Knows her fishing does Carrie.

Now I have "do do do you love me boy. Kiss me when they look away. Be my playground Romeo. They won't know and I won't say.." in my head.

Damn it!

Did she present the eurovision one year with Ronan Keating?

Also, while we are on the topic of mid-1990's tv presenters, what the hell happened Bibi Baskin?

Didn't someone off the Ryan show get buried to the balls in her? Prob been trying to get him removed since

It's the $6 Million dollar question Kojak. Last I heard she was lined up in the US as a host. Then Dana had some gig over there on a God channel. I think she amporphisised into Dana and ran for the presidential election here, seems plausible to me anyway.

What was the name of the girl band with the no. 1's in the mid 90's?

Bejewelled?

RTE nepotism:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbO1-qb7pcpU

Fine bit of stuff though.

General General

I've had a glass or two of wine, so here's the deal...

Uncle Gazebo had a thing for her... even practically said so to her on the Late Late but didn't actually act on it... so after a while, RTE got fed up waiting for him to fall on his 'sword', so to speak, & sent her down the ****ter.

Where, as was earlier pointed out, she now rightfully... hic.... can best use her remaining talents.

Ouch.

I am such a bitch.

Hic.

What ever happened to Theresa Lowe. Many a Sunday night whenever everyone went off to mass myself and Theresa would have the craic.

Bunny Carr was a fine looking man too mind.

I never heard about the shark jumping incident, but I did hear somebody on the radio a few years ago claiming that she didn't fit the RTE image 'hence the long term promotions' never came her way! I don't know if that is true? but I get the impression that if she had gone across the water she would have excelled in TV & Radio - She could have been huge. > Catherine Thomas is heading the same way, she too hit the 'local ceiling' a few years ago and now she seems to be on the downward spiral (along with Marty) > Catherine should have headed across the water, where she too would have excelled in TV and/or Radio!

Actually I read the opposite, I heard that she was getting far too much work with RTE, which wasn't helping her family life... RTE were very happy for her to be Queen but she didn't see herself as the first lady of Montrose. So she promptly placed the tiara on Ryan Tubridy's head, made like a donkey's dick and hit the road.

Whatever happened to Caroline Morohan? Remember that slightly disturbing reality show where kooky stalkers would prove their stalking factor and RTE would basically pay them to pursue their victims to the psychotic end... I'm sure the whole thing ended in a grizzly, bloodstained 911 call somewhere in the US.

I would agree with the first paragraph. Consensus seems to be that she was over exposed by RTE and that they had been grooming her to be essentially what Tubridy is now. She wasn't a huge fan of the limelight (excuse the pun*) and decided to call it a day when it all became a bit much for her and affected her family life. The Eurovision made her an overnight sensation with TV producers both here and in the UK showing an interest in her. RTE decided to put her in every show possible, at one time the list included Echo Island, The Morbegs, Potluck (5 days a week!), Pulse, and *Limelight. There also seems to be rumours that Gaybo was REALLY fond of her and was pushing her as a possible Late Late successor and Limelight was a test run on her chat show abilities.

I hear shes being considered as a judge for the new series of the X Factor.

That's a pity because in all seriousness she would be a far better host than Tubridy. Sure, she's got the same annoying Irish middle class worldview, probably has a Jacques Cousteau CD in her Hyundai Santa Fe with which she drives Sorcha and Cormac to Irish Dancing classes, but moreso in that bearable way that your older, married sister might carry on.

Carrie Crowley on the Late Late, I could certainly live with. For all her uninspired banality she is an essentially Irish character, quietly intrigued in her guests, polite, even charming in a lovely dull way. Tubridy, who is always too fidgety and busy onscreen actually makes me edgy, and his more irritating demeanour has destroyed the Late Late for me, and the Tralee Lovely Girls Competition, and morning radio. He also seems to have a rather extraordinary ability to say the wrong thing. I really don't understand Tubridy's popularity at all.
