    One that wouldn't be too well known here.

    Jim Everett was an NFL quarterback. Jim Rome - a smarmy, up-his-own-hole talk show radio host had a running gag where he kept calling him Chris (referring to female tennis player at the time Chris Evert)

    Rome had Jim Everett on his show, and called him Chris again. Everett said "I don't think you'll do that again..", and Rome foolishly called his bluff.

    Also, the time Shaquille O'Neill tripped over studio wire during a half time show. Genuinely hilarious.

    Don't know if this is true or urban myth and apologies that it's radio not TV related but for me this is a cracker.......if true!!

    An RTE 2 Radio Gerry Ryan phone in asking people where they would wish to be buried.

    Gerry Ryan: "Would you like to be buried or cremated?"

    Caller: "Buried Gerry."

    Gerry Ryan: "Where would you like to be buried?"

    Caller: "Up to my balls in Bibi Baskin!"

    Giant Haystack showing Jackie Fullerton the slam!! I remember seeing this on ITV, sometime in the 1980s. Still painful to watch but also hilarious!

    Remember last year when Nell McCafferty started shouting something during the huge Gay Byrne memorial special on tv and they had to pull the mic away from her. In retrospect it may not have been as mad as it sounds (at least from an article like the following, which might have PR from her/her family) but still a pretty wild moment at the time. (can't post urls because I'm a new user).

    Dana giving a weird statement to a question no one asked in the presidential debate. Pretty sure it was the same debate that RTE blindsided McGuiness and by the end of the day pretty much everyone bar Michael D was dead in the water

    It was very funny when Preston from Big Brother walked out on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Simon Amstel just kept ripping the pi55 out of him, then started reading from his wife’s, Chantelle from Big Brothers, autobiography. He threw a massive hissy fit and stormed off.

    Simon Amstel tearing apart Donnie from Towers of London piece by piece was brilliant television

    Incidentally Sean Hughes who was a captain for a good few years on it,i came across his obituary from The Guardian the other day looking for something else,was written by a "friend",just wow!

    That woman shouldn't be let anywhere a live mic, she cost Newstalk a nice wedge of cash about ten years ago as well.

    edit: here's the offensive piece of audio (starts 01:00 in). I remember hearing it live at the time and wondering who thought it would be a good idea to let Nell in studio without a delay.

    Bustamante wasn't in the final in 2004

    he sure was, versus Earl "The Pearl" Strickland, there was alot of animosity leading up too and during the match over Earl having sexual relations with either Francisco's aunt or his sister. I'll try find the link but it was definitely 2004, I thought it might have been in the Mosconi Cup but Bustamente wasn't eligible to play in that

    Dont think that happened tbh, at least I've never seen any convincng evidence that it did. Jerry Ryan himself never seemed to mention it
