PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

I think it was camile that was out but made the others sound out :)

Cue Dermot Bannon, unfortunately I see he is on the loose again, so expect an early New Year appearance.

He was on the radio yesterday with Darcy practically inviting himself on by all accounts 😃

The lad organising the Eurovision for RTE was on Ray Darcy during the week. He said that was the original plan but things changed after Tubsgate.

No offence but Bullshit, absolute bullshit. Ever year after we loss (fail to get on the score board) the same guys complains RTÉ has no money. Did he call it Tubsgate?

Lets hope we are successful :) BBC NI can help out and host it up in Belfast :)

@Eibhir a few notes on this interview, link below.

1. He says he had wanted to move to a show across several weeks
2. He says events outside of our control (actually those events were all to do with RTÉ and well with in their control, RTÉ just got out of control)
3. Ye have to laugh, yeah!
4. Selection process started in June (Wait so you just said that you'd wanted to move the show, but didn't all of this happen in June, so that was probably the shorts thought that anyone has ever had)
5. They usual start in September, I would love to know what this guy does outside of the Eurovision.
6. 380 entries receive boiled down to 60 and then got people to listen, any eurovision fans get to listen?
7. He knows how to use excel
8. 5 with the Wildcard being about who's who, when did their entry arrive ?
9. PIL and Wild Youth both being wild tracked last year (that worked out)
10. He approached them and they came back to him (yeah very fair)
11. no science, at all, I like some other like some, Europe likes NONE
12. Future, should be stand alone but it all depends on finances (why what happened, what happened, did something happen, I wonder what happened)
13. We look down at the Eurovision, making it credible (just not in RTÉ, honestly I have watch Eurovision over the last 3 years, first year was quiet good and surprise, last 2 years not so much (maybe I only watch 2 years), I won't be going back it wasn't that good TBF).
14. Boycott due to Israel, its shocking, we are a public service broadcasting service (expect what happened back there in June)
15. Same as we did last year, I think! International Jury, National Jury and Phone Vote
16. Weighting of the vote is spelt weighting not waiting, why explain this?
17. 6 finalist will be announce on Ray D'Arcy
18. TLLS will have a eurovision.
19. Are you hopeful ....
20. Is Kevin Bee hopeful :)

COME ON IRELAND LETS BRING THE EUROVISION BACK JUST TO F WITH RTÉ

RTÉ has been doing such a fantastic job of doing badly at Eurovision for nearly 25 years now, so they no longer even need to make an effort, it just comes naturally.

🙂🙂🙂

Scam, I seen an article supposedly from the Independent.ie posted about it, but never clicked on it. They can spoof the web address they seem to be hosted on too...

Great entrance Conan !

Der's more to Oireland...DAN DIS.

Not a bad show at all tonight by the sounds of it.

Do all the diddley-eye musicians get paid?

I thought there was no money in RTE
