I only actually watched the last interview live last night.

I just watched the one with Becky now and I think it was a great interview. Its certainly not not like what a lot of people on here have being saying it was like. I thought Tommy was very nice and respectful to her and they both had some laughts.

I love when Tommy says he will be watching it and she says Do you wana come on over to Which Tommy goes no not that much lol.

Becky, I could take or leave.

Camera man, great interview.

Dolores, interview of the series.

Can't wait for the next series.

Yeah, Tommy sometimes asks questions out of nowhere, but I think that's kind of the point. Some interviewees will like this approach better than others, but an unexpected question can often give you an unexpected answer and that's part of why people like the show.

Some people go, "Argh, why did he ask that question??" or "Why didn't he ask this question???" Look, he's only a human being. It's an unscripted interview and he'll go where his mind takes him. That may not be where other people wish the conversation to go, but that's just how it is.

Yeah I'd be a fan of Becky's and I felt the interview was more or less what you'd expect from Tommy. He doesn't know anything about wrestling and was skeptical about it which is fine. The childhood questions came a bit out of nowhere but he can be like that anyway. I got the sense he was warming up to her by the end and his interest was piqued a little bit. She is very successful in her field and is quite well known outside of Ireland. She's had a few roles in TV shows in the US outside of WWE.

Agreed on the jeopardy of the wrong thing being said being part of the appeal of the show. Its well worth the price of the great interviews it yields and the great interviews outnumber the bad ones 20 to 1.

I'd love a film biopic of Dolores Keane

There would be a lot of drink product placement in it!

gormdubhgorm · 26-03-2023 07:43PM

I was thinking there what Tommy badly needs on his show is a co-host. Someone to balance him out a bit and reel him back into the conversation when he 'strays' or goes AWOL.

His missus?

I think Tommy does his best, better as a solo host imho

briany · 26-03-2023 09:25PM

There are aspects of the co-host idea which I like, but the show would lose too much of its intimate character.

The co-host is an interesting suggestion but I think the connection between TT and his guest is vital to the show.

Maybe co-hosting should be tried on the LLS though.

I don't really watch current wrestling, but last time I looked, there were at least 3 Irish wrestlers high on the card in WWE. Those being Becky, Finn Balor (AKA Prince Devitt) and Sheamus. A cursory google tells me there are at least a couple more in NXT.

Pro wrestling may not be as big as it used to be, but it's still great to see a few Irish sitting at the pinnacle of it. We big up the actors and sportspeople we have who make it big over in the states. Wrestlers should get a bit of that treatment, given that they're kind of both at the same time.

Sixties folk singer Donovan Leitch has been convicted of a charge of dangerous driving in Skibbereen, Co Cork with the offence taking place on 11 February after he attended a prerecording of the Tommy Tiernan Show.

elperello · 25-10-2023 02:24PM

A a longer version of the story.

Seems like he's not in the best of health.

Show will hit screens in January, with 16 new episodes to air on Saturday nights.

Atlantic Dawn · 03-11-2023 01:49AM

Is there a new series starting this Saturday or has the person who's sole job it is in RTÉ to update the tv guide information off on 2 weeks to sunny Benidorm? The RTÉ listings seems to suggest a brand new series kicking off...

The return of the improvised chat show in which neither the host nor the viewers are told the identity of the guests in advance

EDIT - The Saorview TV guide lists it with an R so I guess a repeat.

Banjo Carney · 03-11-2023 04:23AM

New series starting in January I believe

Ghost Train · 05-11-2023 12:22AM

Roy Keane and now orgasms, why am I watching this with parents here 😳

Tiernan’s whole interviewing repertoire is smut and vulgarity. He’s useless

It's good to see him a bit stumped. In fairness to her she's very relaxed and handled it well

HBC08 · 12-11-2023 12:14AM

I'd listened to the podcast so knew about it but this is such an amazing story with the arms transplant guy.

PK was very interesting aswell (although that was less to do with Tommy) The num one and num two head ratings guys having a chat.Id heard Paddy's story before but it's compelling. Hadn't heard how he got with Cat Deely,brilliant story!

This is great telly,I was glued to it.
