Did you hear Joe Duffy's apology to Sinn Fein's Aengus O Snoddaigh?

You'd know it wasn't done easily.

You could hear his teeth gritting as he said it.

Thought the Heather Humphreys impersonation was very good.

Welsh Megaman · 20-03-2020 06:38PM

That Marty Morrissey sketch was good

Good Joe Duffy as well.

Dan Jaman · 21-03-2020 01:33AM

He had a wealth of unconsciously funny material to work with this past week.
Half the clowns he was ripping on virtually wrote the sketches themselves, they're so ridiculous.

thesandeman · 21-03-2020 04:41AM

He pretty much just had to repeat exactly Eamonn Ryan's original speech.
I was half asleep when I heard it the first time and just assumed I was listening to a sketch. It was only when I saw it on TV later I realised it wasn't a joke.

Very good episode this week, I thought. Eamon Ryan, Joe Duffy wash your hands, Leo auto cue.

Ollie's been hard at work today! Fair play to him

Making sure to hammer FG...nothing new there.

Ryan deleting Ray D’Arcy’s message from his answering machine

The Ryan T bits were gas.
Joe Duffy was hilarious.

In all likelihood it was prob. D'Arcy that cut himself off at the other end.

Good Marty Whelan sketch.

Dan Jaman · 10-04-2020 06:28PM

Good one this week.

AK 47 was uncannily lifelike

His Sean O Rourke is fantastic!

Neasa Hourigan v Eamonn Ryan

Think Callan is forecasting leadership change there

Not sure..he sounded more like the reporter with the strange accent and delivery - barry lenihen.

The prophet of doom I call that fella.

Launches into reports with the enthusiasm of a well paid executioner who has just been told another batch of miscreants have been convicted and sentenced.

Isn't it the Washington reporter (bald guy) that has 'announced' in Callan's Kicks that it's all so depressing he won't renew his contract? Most of these 'reporters' are pretty doom - laden ok.

I've often thought that RTE's Sean Whelan must have been kicking himself in the last few years to have given up the Brussels correspondent role just at the time when it was getting really interesting, and handing the plum Brexit job to Tony Connelly.

OTOH, Catriona Perry left the US correspondent's job when it was very obvious how the administration of the ignoramus-in-chief would work out (and after he letched at her while on a phone call to Leo), handing what is undoubtedly a depressing gig to Brian O'Donovan.

Very strange post I’ll have to say, very strange indeed

Whelan never set anything on fire.. journeyman would be an apt description.

Connolly far more dynamic and out there, granted he had the ball thrown to him, but he caught it and ran with it.

Perry didn’t “leave “ the US job, she had done her stint, it’s usually two presidential terms I understand.
Have you ever seen a three term corr.?

Is there any point you are trying to make?

Thank you for taking the time to make such a considered reply.

I'm sorry that you didn't understand my post, but there are others I am sure who did.

That’s good, I’m sure they will be on here to explain.

Well done, well done.
