Whatever happened to Kevo?

MrEko

Does anyone remember a young lad called Kevo? He was last seen on kids tv during the early 90's on RTE 2. Legend goes that he was found outside the doors of the main RTE building and was adopted by the kitchen staff. He was rised and taught by the staff and visitors of our beloved televison station and rose to fame by presenting a quiz game that involved a lot of velcro on Saturday mornings. After this he just went away.

So I put it to the inmates of After Hours, do you remember Kevo? If you do, can somebody please tell me what he is doing these days? I am not above admitting that this question has been bugging me.

Remember Kevin O' Connell? You might know him better as Kevo or some might remember him as “that little b****%”!

Kevo started his career at the age of 12 on Jo Maxi and then went on to do Late Late Toy Shows with Pat Kenny, Scratch Saturday, and a regular rant in front of a wall at Windmill Lane on ‘The Grip’ with Ryle Nugent.

We managed to track him down – now 31, he is an assistant producer in the RTE sports dept!

Found this...

ye he was in trouble for a few things I think, not just drugs - I dont think much was in the media just local rags, I suppose rte wanted to distance themselves from it - plus he wasnt massive famous either I suppose

Jaysus yeah. I remember this dude. He had some Saturday morning gameshow where he had this big 7ft tall spinning box. One side of it had crooks for throwin rings at, the other side had a hole for throwin frisbees into. He'd then go over and stick his arm in the hole and pull out each frisbee, sometimes buildin the tension by pretendin there was no more in there, before pullin out another one!

He was a case that fella!

I was meant to go on that show but had to go on family holiday to Holland. I was gutted!

I think he went to Blanchardstown IT at some stage as well.
