    I looked forward to the Late late comedy show last night but was disappointed not to see Dermot Morgan.

    Any views?

    No Morgan is like the BBC forgeting to include Monty Python in a review.

    Mike.

    Did you notice how we didn't get any audience shots although there was plenty of applause (an applause effects machine?).

    Didn't see it but I presume it was instead full of Lenny Henry & Billy Connolly 'classic' moments? :rolleyes:

    Ah, now there's two guys that are funny like cancer!

    Gay had him on many times in the 90s... they had a selection of his finest moments on the Late Late after his death. Leave Billy Connolly be though, he's funny.

    Yes how did you guess, way too much Connolly.

    Watched the first 5 minutes and Pat Short was on so following that and Pat kennys usless head i flicked over....

    (heard someone say once that Lenny Henry was single handedly trying to make comedy history!)

    I wouldn't say that took too long :rolleyes:

    I remember him on TV and he just wasn't good enough.

    The reasons why he was good on Father Ted are the quality of the writing of Arthur Matthews & Graham Linehan.

    The reason why he was good on Scrap Saturday is the quality of the writing of Gerry Stembridge.

    The reason why his own material tanked was the quality of the writing of Dermot Morgan.
