Was it this program I was listening to over the weekend that had the Presidential election song scit.
Something like "All Kinds of Canditates are wainting for you". . . .It was very good but I don't know what station/program it was on and I can't find referecence to it anywhere online.

There is no comparison between callan and mario, for me mario wins hands down everytime, in fact listening to callan its obvious youre listening to a mimick who is attempting to mimick a far better mimick. Callan's mimicking abilities are also undermined by the fact that his skits are just unfunny.

It's a fairly pathetic effort really ... cheap schoolboy jokes.
Agree he's a good mimic but the material is scraping the barrel IMHO

I predict a gag involving David Norris taking Jedward 'up the Aras' backstage at the Late Late Show.

*toilet flushing*

I haven't heard the show but Oliver Callan makes me cringe in general. I gave up on Nob Nation very quickly. I like a few smut jokes as much as anybody but not all the time. As if things weren't bad enough they've co-opted him onto the Brendan O'Connor show once a month now. Brendan is needlessly smutty too so they should get on very well. Even more reasons not to watch Brendan O'Connor.

Ugh. Rubbish

Steve Jobs nearly sounds like Woody Allen.

Agree - it is not even funny! And that is why Oliver Callan will not win any kind of PPI award...he just ain't funny or entertaining!

what the **** were they thinking ?

seriously this thing needs to die a death quickly

if you pretend its someone doing an impression the charlie bird show afterwards is more funny

Heard it today.

I thought it was much improved and well worth a listen.

It was quite satirical and had a sharp edge to it.

I liked it.:)

I heard the start of it... usual Norris gay double entendré sketch, and the unfunny Paul Galvin stuff... The guy has huge potential, but the longer they leave him without writers, the more his reputation will suffer.

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/gardai-probe-gaa-star-galvinrsquos-pub-bustup-with-rte-impersonator-oliver-callan-2913194.html

A pub flare-up involving GAA star Paul Galvin and a group including RTE comic Oliver Callan was last night under investigation by the gardai.

Officers were called to the Dublin city centre pub after receiving a complaint of an alleged assault by Galvin.

The Kerry footballer, who writes a weekly fashion column for the Irish Independent, had left the premises, Kehoe's in South Anne Street, before the gardai arrived.

One eyewitness said last night that Galvin was being "vilified in the wrong" and the incident did not warrant calling in the gardai.

I dunno its a bad day when second rate humourists can't go to the pub without getting accosted by minor public figures.

Some people can't take a slagging and respond with aggression.

I'd say they'll be putting together a photofit of him down the station alright.

Callan deserves a slap for crimes against comedy.

And Galvin deserves one in return for crimes of fashion.

Pair of twits.

I suggest a duel with plastic inflatable hammers at dawn.

Galvin will insist they are appropriately dressed... I reckon inflatable hammers at dawn, with both belligerents dressed in the following attire..

Lapin

Tuned in today for the first time since the initial show.
Some improvement noted. I did have a laugh at Joe Duffy interviewing himself and the mention of €400k in the sketch. The Bertie Ahern Meeja quiz was good too and Paul Galvin got the slagging he deserved.

Still some awful dire rubbish in there too though.

Celebrity Death Match would be better.

Listen to a few mins. Jesus his Martin McGuinness impersonation is dire..

Slidey

I listened to it today, I think it has improved a good bit.

Anyone else agree?

mike65

A few smiles, I like the Odd Couple in the Aras most.

Greenman

Liked the Trapattoni sketch.

I find it much improved too and very current.:)

I think they stole the Robbie Keane/interpreter idea from Mario
