Saturday Night with Miriam - 6th July 2013

Go Harvey Go

Senator David Norris, Minister for Justice Alan Shatter and author Ruth Field are amongst Miriam O'Callaghan's guests this Saturday night on RTÉ One.

Senator Norris joins Miriam for his first TV interview since it was revealed he is battling cancer.

Also stopping by for a chat is Minister for Justice Alan Shatter to talk about his recently re-published book, Laura.

Ruth Field, author of the bestselling book, Run, Fat Bitch, Run, will be talking to Miriam about her new self-help guide, Get your Sh!t, Together.

And 16-year-old Jordan Egan, who suffers from a rare, debilitating syndrome called EDS, will perform her new single, Easy for an Angel, which was written by her mum, Karen. All proceeds from the single will go towards Jordan's hospital care.

Plus one lucky viewer will win €10,000.

Once again, hurriedly typed up... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

We certainly don't need to be told more than once who Alan Shatter is.

And is that the complete line-up? I strongly doubt it, somehow...

9:45 tonight.

Cancer, chirping winsome teen with disease, self help crap and a Minister for Justice with a soft porn past. Its almost a parody guest list for a chat show.

Lisha

I won't be around tonight but I'm sure everyone will be great. No, really everyone will be great, just great really.
And tell me again about that time You got the censor to approve your book Alan. ? It's great it really is.

Harry Angstrom

It'll be the easiest interview that Shatter will ever get. Miriam will probably try to bring out his warm cuddly side. Good luck with that. Genuinely.

I agree - Miriam (or preferably Pat) should be giving him a proper grilling on Primetime, not letting him have a cosy chat on the couch.

And in the interest of balance, we will probably now get politicians from all parties on the couch over the Summer. Yippee :rolleyes:

grey_so_what

The last thing I want to see is Mir giving politician's on the couch an "easy time" Skid.............:D:D:D

I think I'll stay where I am.........:P

ps. Great Lions win today............:):):):)

I can just imagine the de-briefing meetings following Primetime.

Pat: Wow Miriam, what an interesting programme tonight.
Miriam: Yes Pat, you were really great, genuinely Pat you were great. Actually, the whole team were really great, genuinely.





Expect lots of "with respect Minister" this evening

I hope someone buys me the book for Christmas I couldn't justify spending the money on it myself

And I was right - Miriam just said that this guy, whom I have to admit I haven't heard of before, will be on to perform:

Go Harvey Go

Miriam a bit better dressed than last week, I notice...

And, once again, the audience are told to whoop and clap at something good. :rolleyes:

Harry Angstrom

"For people who haven't read it"

In other words, "for the entire population".

There must be cutbacks in the wardrobe department. Last season she was way more dressed up, who will ever forget her wardrobe of 'Quality Street' dresses.

Harry Angstrom

I wouldn't be surprised if Shatter got one of his mates to make a complaint.

Lady Chatterton

Shatter needs to stop dying his hair, it's awful.

Lisha

The jasmine in limerick is really really great no seriously it's great .

Hope ye laughing as much as me

Lady Chatterton

Lisha, you're really great for joining us this evening


BTW: I've eaten in the Jasmine loads of times and it is great (genuinely).

delaad

He's a robot.

Go Harvey Go

"I don't want it to be Prime Time."

Then the audience are told to clap again... :rolleyes:

He'd be better off encouraging the censor to ban the book.

The best way to get publicity for a book is to have it banned !

Lady Chatterton

Savita died due to medical misadventure/possible negligence, the current legislation wouldn't have saved her.

Go Harvey Go

"I hate to have to bring up the Anglo tapes, folks."

Will she do it again next week if there's another politician or journalist on, I wonder...

efb

soft interview with the Justice Minister, yawn

Lady Chatterton

Shatter is loving all the raunchy references. He obviously thinks that it increases his street cred.

Skid X

If it was up to me, Henry Shefflin and Robbie Keane would have been in the Lions team too, as well as Drico.

coolhull

Wow, those viewers questions are sooooo difficult.....

Atlantic Dawn

She should have asked him about the recent midk wallace penalty points scandal and his checkpoint charlie incident.

efb

I'm out

Ah now, Shatter came in his smart/casual summer suit tonight. He wouldn't have been prepared for those sort of questions

Go Harvey Go

"For €10,000, who was controversially left out of the Lions squad: Robbie Keane, Brian O'Driscoll or Henry Shefflin?"



All the competition questions on RTE's talk shows are set by one person, aren't they? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

She said she didn't want it to be Prime Time - that's why she didn't ask these questions.

Lady Chatterton

I feel sorry for this girl but this item is not very entertaining We also have a cancer item ahead.

amdublin

Jesus mammy let your daughter speak for herself.

Go Harvey Go

I've just noticed that RTE TEN didn't say that this girl's mother would be on with her, either - merely saying that she wrote this song that her daughter will perform... :rolleyes:

amdublin

Awww. Lovely.

Atlantic Dawn

You make me laugh
Give me your autograph
Can I ride with you in your BMW?

Lady Chatterton

She has a lovely voice!

Lady Chatterton

Fair play to George

Sully

Fair play, George!

Lady Chatterton

Poor George is close to tears.

amdublin

Oh mammy, please stop talking!

Skid X

I don't think Mir needed to ask George about the rugby, it has derailed the interview.

baldbear

Hooky is a emotional old likeable fart.

She's a typical Irish mammy

He knows nothing about Rugby, he isn't much of a broadcaster but his autobiography is one the best I have ever read.

She is the former Mrs. Tom McGurk after all

Utterly predictable, wasn't it? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And, with all due respect, it was predictable that he'd turn up once Jordan said that she had a crush on him...

Lapin

I wnt out to make a cup of tea and came back to find Hookie gatecrashing the young wan's moment in the limelight.

What happened?

Did he drunkenly stumble into the wrong studio ?
