Deirdre O'Kane to host new show.

Jesus what is wrong with Gallagher, absolutely hyper, like a gatling gun, keeps talking non stop

O Kane cant get a word in

Pj is deadly so funny...great that he's talking lots as deirdre is crap

I remember Jake Stephens went to some singing competition in Finland and danced and sang to walk of life on stage with his newspaper.

Thought it was brilliant

It's depressing that we have to fund this rubbish. RTE have a soft spot for a few of these no hopers. DOK, Amy Huberman, Nathan Carter, etc. Not entertaining, not talented, not good enough to make it somewhere big. Really low grade offering.

What about the young lad that does the cooking? Jaysus he is cringy to look and listen to. In a way you have to admire the neck of him to get on screen and spoof his way through the whole sh**e show.

He seems a decent sort. Hard to believe underneath that vulnerable exterior lies a badass tattoed biker.

Interesting to get more of your thoughts on the vulnerability angle.

Will say he looks quite handsome now.

Donal Skehan is the TV cook you are thinking of.

Don't know whats everyones problem with Deirdre O Kane. I think she's good, doesn't try too hard and let's her guests speak. I've enjoyed her so far.

If she's that bad ye ought to change just channel. It's just 1 push of a button.

You'd have to get up and press the buttons on the TV the old fashioned way.

you see that only works for the programs that are not taxpayer funded. We are all paying Deirdre O'Kane whether we like it or not. Same as the rest of the RTE "stars". How many million will they lose this year.

To be fair that’s not that unusual. Nigella has been everywhere with her cooking shows for over 20 years, and there’s plenty around the world are just enthusiasts. You don’t need to have been to cookery school to show a novice how to cook a steak or a bowl of pasta.

On DOK, I am firmly from the school that cannot stand her, but I saw the second half tonight and thought it was okay. She asked better like of questions than Tubs ever has. When PJ dropped in that he was born in bessborough she made him pause whatever story he was telling about the young offenders and explore further. If that was Tubs he would have just moved it along as quickly as possible

When has “Tubs” not wallowed in a bit of misery?

Didn’t even bother tune in last night. Saw the promo earlier which reminded me not to bother!

Deirde O'Kane. Always thought she was funny, and pleasing on the eye.

No, I'm not her mother, agent or Husband in case anyone else has that Hi-Larious joke teed up.

How did you turn it on? And don't say by wearing a thong and putting Barry White on in the background.

That's the way the funding model works though. You pay the licence fee and get some benefit from it - you'd want to be some kind of unique person to appreciate all of the RTE content. But there is something for everyone:

News
Current affairs
Sport
Light entertainment
Children's
Movies
Radio
Orchestras

etc...

She’s extremely poor, hadn’t high hopes but she’s worse than I imagined. Have they really kicked Tommy Tiernan for her few irrelevant lines?

SEPT 23 1989

First time watching last night it was dreadful

She reminded me of a revenue official conducting a tax audit

PJ hosting would have been better for a Saturday night show

More energy and life

No, Tommy is coming back for another series.

This is just focused on DO'K and other comedians.

A bit niche but I'd say worth the effort.

Strange bunch comedians, I'm enjoying it so far.

Plugging it in.

The show is about as interesting as watching paint dry but I don't get the dislike for DOK herself, at least she doesn't have a D4 accent.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I thought I'd hate it. But she's actually grand doing this show. I don't think she's funny at all but the comedian she had on last night is a genuinely funny fella.

None of those TVs come on with a chanel - the start on standby. What make TV is it... or stop digging perhaps.
