The second plane strike

I remember the gasps of the news presenters when the second plane hit and the realisation this is no accident.

And even though the full extent wasn't known at the time this.

Not sure if live or slight delay but:

The band L7 performed on The Word and the singer got her p*ssy out.

That was was after the watershed but here's one that happened at around teatime

Linda Martin confronting an audience member on the late late.

The former was the first LLS hosted by Pat Kenny after Gaybo left. Yer man was one strange fish, clearly plastered.

To be fair it's probably the worst thing ever to be broadcast live.

"Mad" in the sense of shocking or completely unexpected.

As a teen watching Noel Gallagher on the LLS was pretty special/mad at the time

On Live at Three, the two rabbits started humping. Derek Davis said 'Ah, the brown one has an itchy back, and the white one is helping him to scratch it'

The American news reporter and her camera man getting shot dead on live TV would rank high up there.

Slash being interviewed by Cat Deeley on the kids morning show one Saturday morning when he started telling her about getting a blow job from a groupie.

Looks like my memory had slightly exaggerated things - see end of this cllip

Oliver Reed and his many drunk appearances on TV chat shows. (The one with Des O'Connor stands out) plus the the last one being in the late 90s, when he appeared on 'The Word' with Terry Christian & Katie Puckrik.

Ollie was totally hammered as per usual, wearing a giant leather jacket and sporting a massive handlebars moustache, brilliant TV

Probably available on YouTube.

The Heysel riots. Pretty awful, and all of it televised live.

Ger Roe · 28-12-2020 3:43pm

The George Best interview on Wogan. He was drunk out of his mind and cut a very sad figure ... while it was mad, it was sad to see what drink had done to him and continued to do until it got him in the end.

I remember that. Omar Shareef was on that too and was very gracious as gb hugged and kissed him!

The one where the Bee Gees left Clive Anderson on his own after taking exception to something he said.

Jack Black was being interviewed by Ryan Tubridy when he was his usual fun casual self promoting a pretty forgettable version of Gulliver and he started asking penetrating questions about Black's childhood. Black asked "Is this therapy?!" Tubridy looked mortified like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him.
Jaw dropping cringe inducing stuff!

JeffreyEpspeen · 28-12-2020 4:01pm

I saw the second plane hit the twin towers on 9/11 live on Sky News, which is weird because it happened in the early afternoon and I should've been in school. 1st year of secondary school and I was already dossing.

More people need to do this. Tubs was interviewing Bruce Springsteen a while ago and asked - "Bruce, do you love America?". F off tubridy!

Saw them in the RDS, opening performance on The Children Of The Night tour. Sponsored by Ultrabrite toothpaste. October 1987. Great band.

I read about that and apparently he didn't actually die in the live footage, just collapsed. He died a few hours later in the hospital.

He died on stage. You can hear the death rattle.

Only saw this on youtube but here is an interview that Halle Berry did some time in the early 2000s. Howie Mandel makes a joke about a hit and run Berry was involved with and Berry calls him out for it.

The sad part is, Berry committed a serious criminal offense and is acting like a victim here. Mandel apologizes to her for the joke.

I remember watching the royal variety show I think it was when Tommy Cooper died on stage.

I read about that recently. She's a wagon

P. Flynn on the LLS and Sean Gallagher (brown envelope) on the Presidential Election debate. Two class bits of live tv.

Andrews was a sort of patron saint in this country , Gay Byrne slobbered all over him down the years

perhaps he wasnt so saintly ?

no idea , just asking ?

The time Derek Davis had an English female wrestler as a guest on his live chat show Davis At Large in 1985. I think he was getting her to demonstrate some of her moves and she got him in a headlock. He was down on his knees waving his arms about and couldnt speak as she was covering his mouth with her hand. Two backstage guys ran onset and pulled her away from him to which she started shouting "nobody touches me" and pushed or threw one of them into the set them kicked him or the other guy on the ground. At this stage Derek could be seen with a nosebleed holding a handkerchief up to his face. It was the talk of the schoolyard the next day.

Reminds me of Hogan doing similar.

I never heard about that hit and run before. She is flashing the smile a lot there but her eyes look like she is really angry.

Freejin · 28-12-2020 5:01pm

Not sure if I imagined this, but does anybody recall an episode of the Den ( with Darcy I think) where they had a duo in playing live music where one of the guys in the band smashed his guitar around the studio and walked off?

He wrote a supposedly warts and all biography of him. No idea as to its accuracy, I just remember that interview mainly for him walking off. Wouldn't have known who Miriam was at the time.

Jack Charlton stomps Eamonn Dunphy. Charlton: "You're not a journalist" Slam Dunks Dunphy. Cannot find YouTube video. I do know that some Irish TD's and other personalities take an active part in removing such material from YouTube.

That's why I like to save the good ones down, there's various sites you just need to put the Youtube link in and they will save them to mp4.

I never watch the LLS, but a friend was on it one night. Before my friend was Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. Ryan had no interest and had done absolutely zero research. His first question was, so Black Sabbath in 1978, what have you been up to since then. Queue Sharon with a face like thunder reeling off his ten solo albums, Grammys, etc and Ryan looking like a lost little boy. I thought she was gonna walk off/abuse him.

The most bizarre interview on the Late Late Show would have to be Joe O'Reilly by Pat Kenny. His mother in law was sitting beside him. O'Reilly was visibly enjoying the interview and the attention and did not seem to be grieving that his wife was just murdered and the discomfort was evident on his mother in law's face. Pat Kenny kept cool but his face betrayed suspicion and you just knew the Gardaí were watching O'Reilly like a hawk. I remembering turning to my father and saying "He did it!"
