Late Late Show September 23rd 2016

Skid X

Hello there, I was talking to Meat Loaf during the week about the Brangelina situation.

I said to Meat Loaf, I said, "You know that was actually her third marriage - Johnny Lee Miller, Billy Bob Thornton and Brad Pitt.

"I see ... ", says Meat ... "So

Two out of three weren't Brad"!

On tonights show ... President Michael D Higgins. You know the way he said he wouldn't go for re-election but he hasn't been as adamant recently? Maybe he'll spill the beans tonight. Miriam O'Callaghan will be tuning in ...


Also Stefanie Preissner who has been described as "the voice of a generation". No, me neither but apparently she wrote that "Can't Cope Won't Cope" that was on RTE2 this week


John Connors out of Love/Hate and a few others plugs his new documentary about Travellers History.


Ellen Keane and Niamh McCarthy won medals at the Paralympics and they'll be on along with the lovely Daráine Mulvihill who presented for RTE this time, and Channel 4 last time.


Jessica Thom is a comedian with Tourettes. What could possibly go wrong there?


Edit: Something about Antiques apparently. He had a stuffed bear in the promo after the news.


Music from The Blizzards, and John Sheehan and Ralph McTell


Ooh, I do hope Ralph does Streets of London again

*prepares to impress friends & acquaintances with my new joke*

Great OP as usual. I'm having it today, lads. Gonna be strong.

John Connors should be interesting . Didn't Tubs kinda piss him off the last time he was on?

Fr Tod Umptious

This was the show that should have featured the history making Mayo football team.

But alas we'll have to wait another two weeks, or two decades maybe.

Welsh Megaman

STREETS

LONDON!

Not as much as Skynet p*ssed him off.

Wow, wouldn't it be awesome if he brought a terminator back to stop the damage Ryan is doing to the future of mankind?

Welsh Megaman

Who's looking forward to the return of 'The Ray D'Arcy Show' tomorrow night?

That might explain where my clothes, my boots and my motorcycle went ...

Ally Dick

Gerard Depardieu on drums ?

Ol' Donie

Micheal D Higgins.

The D is for Dancin'

Ally Dick

Yuk. Not a fan of this man at all. Full of oul guff and nonsense

Skid X

Michael D, Michael D up on his bikeldee ...

Lady Chatterton

Good Evening all.

Michael D is so likeable!

Ol' Donie

I think it should be a rule that head of state should at least have his own head at head height.

Welsh Megaman

Michael Squee Higgins

ProudDUB

Evening troops. How are we all?

Any one see the Michael T Higgins tea cosy on Gogglebox Ireland last night? Gas craic.

RobertKK

I am not a fan of Michael D for the record.

Hope he keeps his word and only does one term.

Ally Dick

I'm sure there is plenty of sniggering whenever he visits other countries. He's too small. Looks like a leprechaun

Miss Demeanour

That a serious case of dandruff or a speckled suit?

sligojoek

Michael D Higgins. It must be mad being the President.

Sorry, wrong show. That's tomorrow night.

Ol' Donie

If Micheal D had a mini me, he could get a game if there was a subbuteo match.

Lisha

Ffs, I've lost the terrestrial channels on my TV.

Ally Dick

He'd love to see the place flooded with Syrians

Skid X

He was a big loss to Labour, they didn't have anyone remotely as articulate and passionate to debate for them after he left.

Doing a good job as Prez, some of the others who ran last time would have been far poorer.

Always think the same thing too, God forgive me. :rolleyes:

Great John Connors on tonight, the traveller who combats the negative stereotyping of his community by playing a murdering gangster on Love/Hate.

Michael D, Michael D, very, very speckledy

That's the number 1 reason why I can't ever be too critical of him.

But his preachy poetry schtick does get my goat.

Ally Dick

Michael went to Slane on the pull in the 80s

Kerrydude1981

Michael D is a great man,a class act

Made a great speech down here back in April for the 1916 commemoration at Banna Strand

ProudDUB

Jesus, someone stop him rambling about his early life. It's not a job interview.

Totally agree. The thought of some of the last crowd elected as President compared to Michael D is hard to believe now.

Hopefully runs for second term and spared a nonsense candidate like Miriam.

I agree with alot of his views but the champagne socialism label is inescapable, look at his gaff and pensions ffs.

Ally Dick

Here we go. He's leading up to his love of immigrants. F@ck off Michael. You're in a big house with iron gates and guards. You won't have to live with them. We will

Skid X

Michael D following the "keep talking and don't let Tubs ask any questions" strategy tonight, always a good plan.

Michael D has always been cool.

He is a man who can to relate to people of all backgrounds.

JustTheOne

I can never figure out whether we're meant to take this chap serious or not.

Surely it's a wind up?

He's a big Galway United fan.

Not literally, obviously.

sligojoek

My daughter was to meet MDH a few years ago but the new bishop took over the ceremony and a lot of people never got to meet him. As a consolation prize we had a good chat with Sab out the back of the tent. Lovely woman.

Why do you ramble about your early life in a job interview?

Ive been at both sides of the desk and other then something in the cv regarding sports achievements im not sure anyone ever, ever mentioned their early life.

RayM

Sean Gallagher watching this...

Berserker

Evening all. Is it just Michael D for the whole show tonight?

Good talker but not a humble man.

Just listening to him and he reminds me of Ronnie Corbett sitting in the rocking chair telling his joke on the Two Ronnies and drifting off in tangents.

Are we to take your question seriously?!
