Colm Meaney was on The Tommy Tiernan show last night.

I thought Tommy was personally out of line asking Colm if he ever felt stupid on Star Trek. He's questioning Colm's work indirectly by asking this, the acting professionalism Colm had to give to the role. Star Trek is heavily admired, the fan base is huge from all walks of life.
Strikes me that Tommy said it without really considering how rude it was. Colm handled it beautifully tho- and audience was cool in their support!

Sadly we fell asleep during the Roisin Murphy interview - what and where was that going?

I don't watch the show or Tiernan generally but watched the clip..

Tommy Tiernan is just one of those guys who is his own biggest fan I reckon. Thinks he's hilarious and wants to be validated as such.

Meaney handled it great as you say. Regardless of how much of his work on Trek he might have forgotten, he's obviously not forgotten how do deal with guys like Tiernan trying to boost their profile at his expense.
