The Ray D'Arcy Show - St. Patrick's Day 2018!

Welsh Megaman

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody! And well done to Ireland in the ruggerball!








The guests for this Saturday's Ray D'Arcy Show have been revealed, and a well known US talkshow host is among them.

Jerry Springer, the long-running host of The Jerry Springer Show, will be joining Ray on the couch to chat about the enduring success of his talk show which debuted in 1991 and is now in its 27th season and viewed by millions every day. Springer will also discuss his views on President Trump and why he thinks he should be on his show and not in The White House.

Also on the special Paddy's Day show, in a first for Irish television, Ray will bring in participants from local St Patrick's Day parades from all over the country for a super parade. :eek:

Michael Lyster will be chatting to Ray about hanging up his microphone next year after his 35th season as presenter of The Sunday Game, how his health scare a few years ago still plays on his mind every day.

And Ireland’s renowned goalkeeper Darren Randolph will be talking about his nomination for the FAI’s Player of the Year. He’ll also discuss what it’s like to work with Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane, and his initiation into the squad.

Watch The Ray D’Arcy Show this Saturday at 9:45pm on RTÉ One.

It feels like it anyway.

Arghus

They should round up a few people who've been on the tear all day and just let them loose in that corridor; pissing up against a wall, oblivious and shambling around trying to light fags.

Rock Lesnar

The indoor parade might catch on but unfortunately this show wont Ray

Rock Lesnar

Not her again

Welsh Megaman

Imagine if Ray stood in for Jerry Springer...sighing whilst a black person and a member of the Ku Klux Klan are separated by security.

Just when we think we've seen the last of her, she pops up again.

Arghus

Meanwhile in the canteen...

EPAndlee

This is definitely the kind of conversation they have in the canteen

Welsh Megaman

When is she going to sing 'China In Your Hand'?

monkey9

This interview is full of innuendos.

Welsh Megaman

'You are an embarrassment'

Icsics

Ah Jesus, why in God’s name would they think anyone wants to hear from her!

The rest of the RTE staff are probably drunk or asleep after drinking all day. It was a choice between the security guard or her, I suspect.

monkey9

When they were still standing, i thought this would be brief. Sit down ffs.

Welsh Megaman

Just do the chin-up contest and GTFO!

EPAndlee

Would she speak a bit of filth in Irish, go on ya divil ya

The Talking Bread

I have told this story before but this is a great moment to tell it!

I was once in the bookies and Hector was there and who walks in but Blathnaid ni Coughdrop, obviously to meet him. Blathnaid had just arrived from an interview on Today FM with D'arcy and it was around the time of the bullying Sheena stuff. He had been asking her awkward questions, some of which clearly were hinting at the rift.

She was raging and calling Ray a little rat and a sneaky little man!

I love a good earwig!

Aidric

absolute wagon

Arghus

In fairness a real Irish insult delivered with maximum blas is a wonder to behold.

Rock Lesnar

Darren Randolph, what a 1st guest

Icsics

Back to the normal stilted interview now....yeah yeah....right....

Rock Lesnar

Get Jerry out and lets get the rubbish Springer style segment over with

monkey9

Randolph is a keeper you assume would be sh!te, but he's done nothing wrong for Ireland. Average keeper overall, but for Ireland no complaints.

Arghus

Nothing like the D'Arcy X factor to really compound the clear nervousness felt by a guest.

Yer Da sells Avon

I've grown to like Bláthnaid in recent years, mainly because of her passion for the Irish language.
