Keep 'er lit.

He annoys all the right people so he's grand in my book.

Is he making a comeback?

Why Hector?.....

Not funny in anyway,shape or form

Your Face

For me, he represents the worst of the Celtic Tiger years.

Saw the post.. thought he might be dead

Thinkingaboutit

Depends on what you mean by funny.....

Really, really, annoying.

I was in audience of the Brendan O'Connor show a couple of years ago (don't judge me, my friend had tickets and I was curious!

) Hector was a guest that night. His 2FM radio show had been cancelled in the recent past and he was on to plug his newly opened gym. He came across very bitter about being released from RTÉ, was bitching about other RTÉ presenters. It was a bit awkward, bit of a tense atmosphere!

Funny How?

Can't stand him

Nice fella, liked his travel series. Don't mind him on the radio the odd time but wouldn't listen every day or every Sunday kitchen or whatever he does now

Hector is as funny as a dose of the trots.

Let yourself gooooo

Has he got the bullet again?

Nobody has a good word to say about anybody in entertainment in this country. You wouldn't want to be of a sensitive disposition if a TV personality and read a thread on boards about yourself.

I voted no btw.

What was his slip up at RTE?
He slagged of Miriam O'Callaghan if I remember rightly?

The Savage Eye clip of "Hector's Water Boiling Show" was amazing - can't seem to find it now...

I always enjoyed him when on TV..we still sing Spider Fear ( Spiderfar) at Christmastime. Always wanted a celebrity deathmatch between himself and the bould Des.

He appeals to a certain segment. It's real "Wahey, look at how much of a culchie I am, and how I talk about in-jokes like cuttin turf and ceilis and shifting girls down the back of Bridie Beags pub that only people from the country will get, and shure amn't I fierce cheeky and all?"

Most of the time I hear him I can tell he'd probably be funny if you were one of those people.

The impression I get is that one on one he's probably a nice fella, but he'd never stop flapping his gums.

One must be thick-skinned to be in the public eye!

Same. I'd say he's a sound fella when he switches off Hector the media persona. His travel series was good. He has that personality and charm that works well on those types of programmes.

His radio show is fecking horrid though. Just wall to wall

"Ah shure Jaysus, ain't an aul Sunday chillin out with the nippers the greatest lads, HAH? HAH? Here's U2 boys.........RaHOOOOOOOOO!"

Praetorian

Seems like a nice guy, but I don't find funny or entertaining. In fact I literally have to turn off the radio if I hear him on.

How is he a culchie?

he's from Navan

Only saw him on tv interviewing an Irish legionnaire in Guyana and he was okay; he wasn't trying to be funny and seemed interested. Got cancer in my ears after hearing him on the radio though. His humour is not for me.

Really enjoyed his travel shows.
