RTÉ host and Sunday Independent deputy editor Brendan O’Connor
Further to Vincent Browne presenting his final Tonight with Vincent Browne show last night…
In the Phoenix magazine…
It’s reported:
“..TV3 heads Bill Malone and Aoife Stokes have been negotiating with Sunday Independent and RTÉ host on The Saturday Night Show, Brendan O’Connor, to take over the show for several weeks now.
“…TV3 wants to transform its nightly show from hard politics to a softer chat show and they believe O’Connor’s Saturday night show as well as his Cutting Edge programmes equip him for the job.”
FIGHT!

I fuppin hate that male appendage O Conner..
+++
few people I really can’t stand, but he’s one
me too. Had the misfortune to drive him several times, as he travelled on private business using his RTE taxi vouchers. Seriously up his own bottom. Had a way of making u feel almost worthless. Utter utter twit.
Had the displeasure of dealing with him myself once or twice in a previous line of work. He’s not the easiest man to deal with. Not a fan.
…used to always be hanging round Tesco in Merrion…very creepy character…
disappointing. I always thought he’d be sound enough in a narky aul bollocks kind of way
++++ etc. A complete gob.
It involves one of those things.
He obviously has form.
YUCK.
Gene Kerrigan is the only man to fill the Vinmeisters seat.
Vinmeister….
‘to fill his seat’…..urgh!
Good shout but I’d prefer Ursula Halligan.
She seems like a very nice person, but a bit of a dryballs, to me.
I dunno. I reckon she’d be ok once she got into the swing of things. She’s one of the few who seems to really knows her stuff.
I’d rather her than BOC.
Or Gene, for that matter.
there’s an idea now.
Denis again
I’d like to see Ray D-Arcy take the hot seat.
Ugh.
He’s the king of the modern chat show format.
He makes my skin crawl.
+ick
Ray makes my blood boil.
If by hot seat you mean electric chair I agree.
Thank goodness there are no lady people being suggested. We don’t want late night chat on the cheap.
Brain damage shows. Spin and ego and desperation. Worse than Fox News opinion piece broadcasting. Adding nothing but negativity to the world. Like yer Ma.
…please let this be true…I might get back to normal bedtime during the week…
would this mean we would lose the Cutting Edge seeing that it’s RTE?
I enjoy that show
Me too
Cheerleader for the bubble Smarty Mc Ballsy O’Connor. Bertie Ahern fan and general smartarse. The public gets what the public wants. As it’s TV3 they are welcome to take him off the taxpayer funded RTE
They should give the gig to Kevin Humphreys. He’s a great man.
What about Tom Humphreys?
Stokes?
Tom McGurk is the man. Or George Hook. Or Panti. Or…
Sinead O’Connor would be ideal. She’ll need the money too.
Stroker
With their budget
I suggest Martie Whelan is more their price range
I know he’s not popular around here but Ivan Yates would be good at the job. He’s gone at challenging people and knows when to have the craic
No.
Yates. Another pompous, egotistical, narcissistic, bankrupt, A failure who ran away twice from the country, left his creditors destitute but kept his ministerial pension. Now he has all the answers. PUKE.
leaving aside your contempt for people who become bankrupt (I assume so you’re a fan of Ireland’s archaic bankruptcy laws), he might still be a good host though, no?
The same age bracket : as in they’re both pensioners
T’would seem The Yellow Blue Shirt belly is the perfect successor
Would be great to see John McGuirk present. He’s been on it often enough and the shrieking lefties (some of whom have blue hair) would have a fit.
Oh Christ almighty. O’Connor is one of those guys who goes out on the dance floor with no inhibition and looks like a gooser (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Goose) full of unearned confidence as is De’ arsey. Have a go presenters with the originality of a chief whip.
