Award-winning impersonator Oliver Callan will also be in studio to give the political and sporting week a kicking….
The Late Late Show, on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.
Is speculation over the identity of the remaining Dancing with the Stars hopefuls REALLY reaching fever-pitch though?
Like, no offence if it is but I think it might not be.
for the most part, I’m fairly easygoing – rarely care much about anything
but that des fupping bishop twit really gets on my fupping sac
I find his accent annoying. But he has made some interesting programmes.
I remember one from a few years ago where he was showing how tough it was to live on minimum wage.
And then going off the China for a year to learn the language!!! bonkers!
Whilst I’d never consider myself a big fan of his material, those two shows were far superior the dross RTÉ normally churn out. Fair play to the guy learning Mandarin and having the neck to go on a Chinese dating show. The minimum wage series was bleak, yet eye-opening. I wonder what it is about him that rubs people up the wrong way?
I think it’s his faux bemusement at all things Irish when he’s lived here since he was about 14.
exactly
I love him- he obviously has intelligent observant things to say about Ireland- err… when he is here- connections obviously.
Don’t forget the one in the Gaeltacht when he went to learn Irish. That was pretty good too.
I remember that one. Really enjoyed it. He’s not the worst in the bunch, in fairness. He’s no Ed Byrne.
He somehow forged a career out of being Dara Ó Briain’s best man.
If you are watching the late late show your life has gone wrong. I’m sorry.
I’ll turn off the telly so.
Thanks for the tip.
I’ll remind my mother. She’ll be delighted.
Can someone please explain Des Bishop to me
Please
I’m struggling to find his connection to RTÉ
Or to Entertainment
Or to relevance even
Is he something to D’Arcy mayb

It will explain everything..
Must he be relevant to RTÉ? He’s a stand up comedian and I find him quite amusing…well about as amusing as Hector. He’s also quite articulate. He’s also done a few interesting documentaries and I’d sooner listen to him on an Irish chat show than wheeling out Daniel O’Donnell and his missus, Christy bleedin Dignam, Vogue etc again and again. Just sayin’
Nobody, absolutely nobody is as bad as Hector.
