    Ah Ryan... you didn't talk to Nell McCafferty...

    What the hell man? She might have played the role of antagonist to Gaybo, but there was genuine respect between them.

    To not speak to her-you're disrespecting Gay Byrne, and her too.

    I honestly thought she looked out it, be it from drink/drugs or from dementia.

    It was pretty uncomfortable viewing and not in a good way. She really looked like she didn’t know where she was.

    Where’s Sinead O’Connor?she does a fab version of this....

    You couldn't have Sinead O'Connor and Mary Coughlan in the same room...

    Remember, Sinead ran of with Mary's man.

    The whole place would turn into Jerry Springer (again).

    I imagine there will be another tribute show on his first anniversary, with Kathleen and the family and showing plenty of clips in between interviews.

    Live chat show format is dead. Everyone now just shilling their latest book/movie. The LLS should be put out to pasture....

    Pity no one in the audience got out of their seats to give Gay a standing ovation. Surprised it didn't happen tbh.

    I was petrified for her that she'd interrupt during the interview with the girl from Omagh,

    Probably cause it was supposed to be a celebration of the mans life and career, and she'd be a buzzkill as per usual.

    I rang my granny yesterday to commiserate with her and she was genuinely upset. I remember hearing the theme tune to his radio show in her kitchen and knowing it was time to be quiet. I'm now sitting here having watched the old clips that I vaguely remember from watching with my parents and feeling the same pang of upset but genuine gratitude for having seen the man in action.

    He was an absolute master of his craft and clearly enjoyed every moment of it. The joy he took in what he did was infectious and it showed in the stories he extracted from his guests.

    Honestly Nell was a confused old woman 10 years ago, doubt she would have something interesting to add now.

    Bar sporting events, communal viewing like the scale of LLS is gone for good which is a pity.

    I didn't want to be so bold as to say as much. Any idea who told the joke as it was pre-internet I think...but I remember my brother telling me.

    My father told it to me.

    Parkinson (I think): You're very drunk Oliver.

    Olly: I've a very good reason for being drunk.

    Parky: And what's that reason?

    Olly: I've been fcuking drinking all day.

    Btw, people who have been drinking alcohol often become dehydrated and get very thirsty and start craving water (I've witnessed this quite a few times).

    Alex White, Joe Duffy, (and another guy I can't think of his name) all radical, rage against the machine student leaders when I knew them and they all ended up in RTE producing Gaybo and Alex went on to the Dail or Seanad. Mad Ted.
