The interview with Juliette Binnoche... He actually managed to p1ss off the guest by excessively fawning all over her..

I find Tubridy to be an utterly terrible host of the show, with dozens of car-crash moments on his low-light roll of infamy. But he's never reached the utter depths of awfulness that was Pat interviewing Pete Doherty back a few years ago.

I'm no fan of Doherty, not in the slightest, but this interview made me feel bad for him. Pat was at his most planktastic. Utterly emotionally tone-deaf, with no interest in asking any questions that weren't Kate Moss or Class A drug related, the worst bit comes when Doherty can't stand the stupid questions any more and claims that Pat probably wouldn't be able to name a single one of his tunes.

Possibly not, says Pat.

I shook my head and my toes curled at the embarrassment. I half-hoped the TV might just explode, so we could all be rid of it, but no, it went on for a few minutes after that. Jesus wept.

As weird and as dry as Tubridy is, he's never had anything that bad. Which is really saying something.

Honorable mention for Michael Madsen on the Saturday Night Show one time - That man was drunk. I can sort of remember the interview finishing up and instead of Michael staying in his seat, he just stumbled off into the background, taking some of the set with him on the way to the green-room, or whatever location the next shot was coming from.

I don't know if all of that is true, but I like to remember it that way.

Methinks Tubs is going to feature a lot on this thread.Where to start?The interview with that wan from Medjugorje who had no English and Trappatonis translater was relaying what she saying,the interview with that looney from Ballyfermot who says he talks to the Virgin Mary and that the Devil was warning him not to appear on the LLS.In fact any of the numerous interviews hes done with so called psychics,angel therapy types and spiritual cranks and lets them promote their baloney without any probing questions or critical anylisis from him at all.

There is only one - Prat Kenny and Brigette Nielsen...*shudders*

I saw that too and thats exactly how it happened

Tubs interviewing Dawkins was pretty bad. He was there to talk about his book on evolution, Tubs kept asking him about God, and gave half the interview time to a priest in the audience who rambled on.

The interview with Pete Doherty in which Doherty is trying to bury into the couch to get away and then asking when he'll get paid.

Your man a few weeks back getting digs in at his daughter. Very uncomfortable viewing. Good thing Russell Crowe came out and broke the tension

Tubs interview with Channing Tattum and Jonah Hill was awkward as fnck

Also Tubs interviewing some actor and he insinuated he was stoned

Pat Kenny interview with Pete Doherty was different level awkward though

The interview Gay Byrne did with the mother of Bishop Caseys child - awkward cause he was such a prick to her

Ryan O Neal?Didn't see it but the quotes of some of the stuff he said were really squirm inducing.

Gaybo rarely had car crash moments compared to Tubbs and Kenny but I remember once he had John Hurt on,must have been late 80s.Hurt came across really strange,unbearably long pauses before he answered questions and so on.He came across like he wanted to top himself.Must have been going through a rough time as he comes across really well in more recent interviews I've seen him in.

Ralf and Florian

Just remembered another Gaybo one,that syndicate of businessmen who won the Lotto in 1992,theres a brief snippet of them in Reeling In The Years for that year.(edit:they were known as the Scruffy Murphys syndicate in the press as its in that pub they used to meet).Awful bunch of arrogant yahoos who came into the studio half plastered and shouting and chanting like football fans.When Gaybo was interviewing them one fella broke away half sentence talking to him to roar nearly into the faces of the audience, Yoohoo,we won and then he paused as if expecting them to start applauding him.There was complete silence from the audience
