    Tiernan is the unfunniest comedian ever.

    I can't wait to catch this train wreck on RTE player when I finish work.

    Just sold out something like 20 shows in vicar Street alone.

    Surely after 20 years people would realise you're not funny.
    He's better than al porter. Anyday.

    I wonder does he do much prep for his interviews, trouble is he's a bit down beat, too relaxed that it doesn't flow

    Following comments on this here and on Twitter. Twitter generally speaking loves the show and he's not getting much love here.

    Can't blame Tiernan for the guests but I do think he's doing a good job. It will be interesting to see how the show evolves. I think they could reduce the number of guests to allow for deeper interviews.

    They could also drop the gimmick of it being "improvised interviews". It's a chat show with Tommy Tiernan. If his skills continue to hold up he doesn't need a gimmick to carry it.

    Yep, think it's only a matter of time, judging by what he says. Seems like a decent man.

    Yes, but it's a form of cancer that can be kept under control for years.

    Some artists should get together and do a big send off gig to raise money so his family have their house morgage and that sorted.

    He could be a good host, but this format doesn't work....
    " and my next guest is... "
    "and who are you and what do you do?"

    Keep it simple with chat shows eg. Parkinson

    Tom Dunne organised a big 'Gig for Christy' about two years ago.

    Enjoyable.

    What I like most about it is, it isn't Tubridy or Darcy reading 9 or 10 questions from cards, then reading from a cue.

    Tiernan's show is how a talk show should be, unscripted and off the cuff.

    Tommy's a natural at this. I expect RTE to cancel it after one series however as they usually do that with anything half decent or which threatens the LLS.
