The Ray D'Arcy Show - 26th. March 2016

Welsh Megaman

D'Unbelievables funnyman Jon Kenny and former Glenroe actor Mary McEvoy talk about reprising their roles in John B. Keane's The Matchmaker at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on Saturday's Ray D'Arcy Show.

Also on the show, best-selling author and comedy writer Kathy Lette will talk about her life and career to date, including her friendships with the likes of Julian Assange, George and Amal Clooney, Hugh Jackman and Kylie Minogue.

In her first TV chat show appearance, Boy Meets Girl and The Danish Girl actor Rebecca Root will talk about her Irish roots and life as the first transgender actor to be cast in a lead role in a mainstream UK sitcom.

Fresh from winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup for Ryanair's Michael O'Leary, 23-year-old Tralee jockey Bryan Cooper will be filling Ray in on a momentous week for his professional career.

And comedian Eric Lalor will join Ray on the couch to talk about life in comedy and his role as bad boy Cathal on Fair City.

The Ray D'Arcy Show airs at 9.40pm

Jesus. Ireland having two national chat shows is highly unnecessary.

Both with crap guests and even crapper hosts!

That's some line up

squadro

Chocolate porridge anyone???.

Harry Angstrom

Does Ray actually celebrate Easter, what with him being an atheist and all??

RobertKK

I just finished booking my holidays for October so I don't care how bad this show is...

I just switched on


"Ehhhh....so eh...how do you know each other"




What a brutal interviewer

This is stupid, the sheep names.

Later he will be celebrating an Irish jockey despite being against horse racing and betting. He has form

Jon Kenny. The sublime genius who really made D'Unbelievables.

Saw Mary McEvoy and Mick Lally doing that play in the Tivoli about 8 years ago. Excellent play, well worth going to. Met the two of them in the car park beforehand, we were looking at the graffiti and chatted to the two of them for a few minutes. Genuinely nice people.

If Jedward appeared on the show, he'd probably ask them the same question.

Red Kev

Still the best piece of Irish comedy I've ever seen.

Urgh, painful TV. This is like a strained, awkward first date.

TheRiverman

Just switched channels after watching one minute of this rubbish.

SEPT 23 1989

He makes the funny man unfunny

dirkmeister

Hopefully Cooper is able for him if he goes off on an anti racing rant.

PeterTheEighth

Lord jasus D'arcy doesnt have a clue how to do an interview does he?

RobertKK

Barely started talking to one when he wants to talk to the other, and far too abrupt.

amdublin

Lol Jon Kenny!

grey_so_what

Good evening all,

I'm late joining the thread but I've had the program on........

Dear God, this is a terrible interview....

I wouldn't have know Mary only for her voice!

Are they playing musical chairs or what?....is Mary a bit Mickey Monk?

coolhull

Ah, Biddy. Is dere an'thin' stirrin'?

Harry Angstrom

I still lie awake at night and wonder about how Biddy's car could flip over the way it did.........

Don't worry, Ray's just warming up.


















Sorry, I tried to keep a straight face!

PeterTheEighth

Biddy does a good chicken all the same.

He lacks the social skills to even have a conversation.

It would depend on the height of the chocolate rabbits and if his kids approved of them.

grey_so_what

I'm not just saying but my 90 year old mother would ask better questions than Ray is...

He's too quiet, and Darcy will probably be plamasing him anyway.

That 'Bridget and Eamonn' looks funny.

I bet a fella behind the camera is holding up a sign saying "laugh"

SEPT 23 1989

Jon knows the score he is taking the piss out of the amatuer interviewer

Vorenus400

Love the church sketch from D'unbelievables. It was proper satire of going to church at the time. All the men at the back of the church having a quiet chat and waiting for it to be over

RobertKK

Jon Kenny reminds me of some of the callers to that psychics live show that use to be on TV3, and where people would ring up to wind up the psychics.

Harry Angstrom

If Biddy and Jon did a stage version of George and Mildred, I'd go to see it.

Anybody remember where Ray got an egg made in his own likeness.



Ray was given an Easter Egg by Cadbury's, made in his own likeness, for the show on TodayFM. And how Tom and Katie smiled with excitement and wonder when Ray brought the Easter Egg home......... until Ray sat them down and explained the dangers of sugar, and rang a man from the Hazard Materials Removal company to have the Easter Egg taken away and safely disposed of.

I like to think it is a polished elephant turd.

I always suspected that if Ray was made of chocolate, he'd eat himself.

Gerry is mortified

grey_so_what

He should've interviewed Gerry....

He could have given us the first hand gossip from the canteen direct..

PeterTheEighth

Gerry is retiring? He's looks about twenty years younger than Ray?

SEPT 23 1989

He worked with all the greats

Not tonight

Welsh Megaman

Ray meant that from the heart...









As he read the cue card.

RobertKK

Cadbury's served Ray's head up on a platter.
