Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

That’s how he could make a comeback, starring as himself in his own musical.
I keep seeing it as Pat Kenny too, so I refer to him as Kielty for clarity. Don’t think Pat Kenny would be too keen to return to RTE to present LLS 🤣
Ads on the radio for the Willy Wonka musical coming in a few months.
Noel Kelly needs to work fast and block book Croke park as direct competition - “Toyman - the musical” starring none other than the “beloved by all” Ryan Tubridy.
The LL is a dying format, the scheduled tv talk show, moreso when it's the merry go round of RTE canteen regulars and nobodies outside of this island.
Had to read that a couple of times to realise PK is Patrick Kielty and not Pa Kenny.
I don't think Kielty will be a seat filler like Kenny and Tubridy were.
He made his name on the comedy circuit so knows the show is the thing, not him. He'll be conscious of numb bums on seats and at home, and I reckon the shortened 90 min length is his idea.
I honestly can’t disagree with a word that you’ve written - I’ll still give him a decent chance though to make a go of it
No loafing Oaf no ideas who this McSavage guy was until I READ the article.
Heard him interviewed earlier. Thought be was bigging the show up a deal more that it is in reality now - the best live chat show in the world etc.
The LLS is increasingly irrelevant to anyone under 50. It's in the death throes.
I have high hopes for Kielty. If he's allowed creative input, he'll make the LLS at very least worth the odd watch. Even with poor guest lineups, he'll make a fist of it I think.
Kielty was interviewed by Meeeriam this morning, comes across as a guy without notions about himself. I particularly liked that he said things could go wrong, but he’d try and keep humour in the show. He seems to have a grip on what can be best about the LLS, and I feel he will make it appear more spontaneous, maybe a bit more like back in Gaybo’s time. I liked when he quoted his mother up in County Down, when it might be suggested she’s proud of her son, her response would be “which of my 3 sons are you talking about?” He’s making sure to let us know ego and vanity are little part of him.
A breath of fresh air? It’s on RTE so all the usual goons will be lined up to continue the propaganda.
Let that shower of cronies survive on advertising and cancel the licence fee.
Having two bites of the cherry for too long has led to this debacle and of course, jobs for the boys, family, freebies. Why should we pay for their lavish lifestyle. Enough.
If Norton wants A-listers then surely our very own Ryan Tubridy is available.
I mean if he can fit the time in, in between his podcasts, writing a comic and going to London to meet the insatiable demands of his UK fanbase.
Interesting times - it won’t impact TLLS in quite the same way as you could count the number of A listers over a season on one hand but still- it might encourage creativity and innovation as a result
Good interview with Patrick Kielty in Sunday Business Post today- some great responses to questions - I’m really looking forward to him making a success of TLLS- I think he’ll be a breath of fresh air tbh
That’s a hat she got in Penneys
You're busted! That's Meghan's panama hat hanging in the lobby, isn't it?!😁😁
You need a VPN player that works with TV players like RTÉ & Virgin Media…
HolaVPN was the one that worked for me..
I was able to watch the All Ireland Final back in July on my phone through the VPN while in Lithuania… I was then able to cast it from the phone onto a 55” TV and the picture was excellent…
And usually just the fluff piece takes a paragraph or two then 20 paragraphs reciting everything that has happened - copy paste every article
and none of them asking about the 150k any more, like it never happened.
I can't remember the last time they didn't publish one. It certainly must be well over 100 days ago?
Whats worse is that very few of them said anything interesting and even fewer criticise him. They're mostly puff pieces. Have they no shame?
It was on RTE 2 also, I think, not that I watched
The rights were probably sold to a UK broadcaster and it may have been on one of the UK channels. As for the RTE Player, that's a disaster story in itself.

Haha my bad so. It also sounds like I didn't miss much of a game.
Still a very strange set up not to be able to watch abroad.
I met enda officially once but then met him again in a garage , I didn't expect him to remember me but I said hello and had a right oul chat, legend and very funny man 😄
That phenomenon of blood being thicker than water is well true, have witnessed it many times when even family members who don’t get on at all won’t have a bad word said by a third party about their kins-person 🤣 as you may be critiquing their very genetic material!
Think that the match was on Virgin One. :)
It was 'on' Virgin Media! 'On' as in pixellating and stuttering every now & then.
I'm overseas this week and chanced the dreadful RTE player today to watch the rugby. Not allowed view it due to geographical restrictions. Raging as we actually pay our bloody licence every year, and the tech team at RTE can't put a simple "password" into the system to recognise you as a licence payer and give you access.
Fair enough Enda!
