    That welcome relief from DOK's voice after the collapse of Appliances Delivered is about to be shattered...

    "A brand new talk show hosted by comedian(?) Deirdre O'Kane is set to brighten dark winter Saturdays nights in November.

    The six part RTÉ One series, Deirdre O'Kane Talks Funny, will uncover what makes some of Ireland’s best-loved personalities tick and celebrate careers which have entertained the nation via stage and screen."

    Cant stand her voice, grates on me, see wouldn't be my cuppa tea.

    Didn't find her funny as a comedian, not sure what the format is for the talk show.

    RTE scraping the bottom of the barrell again.

    Is this what we are paying our €160 licence fee for? ffs

    There goes any credibility afforded to RTÉ with their claim of always telling the truth.

    This sound is the closest to that of her voice in terms of the effect on my aural senses and brain

    Have RTE abandoned 'Angela Scanlon's Ask Me Anything' ?,

    They had apparently filmed two episodes before the lockdown, it sounded like a Saturday Night Talk Show

    So the same dross as every other talk show on RTE? These people are neither interesting nor best-loved.

    At least Tommy Tiernan had interesting but everyday people for the most part and we moved outside the RTE canteen celebrity circuit.

    They really are the pits when it comes to anything remotely original or watchable.

    Yep, nothing at all new here, usual RTE 'celeb' circle wankery.

    Note to self, find something else to watch @ 9.10pm every Saturday for the near future.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    Saw the ad for this....sets the tone for what it will be...annoying and in no ways funny, are there thousands out there who find her funny? RTE clearly think so...

    They will probably have her on LLS on Friday for an 'exclusive' preview.

    ...while comedian and TV presenter Deirdre O'Kane, will discuss changes in the comedy scene, and new challenges she and other Irish entertainers are facing.

    It’s very reliant on clips & I wish she’d sit up properly in the chair!

    Dunno how she gets an interviewer gig on RTÉ. When she presented the 6 o’clock show on tv3 she was absolutely terrible. She makes everything about herself and is a complete pain to listen to.
