Bill Cullen is on the far left hand corner.

He came from humble origins. Trufax.

Anyone see Vincent?

We were collecting You Tube clips of dogs while TV3’s Tonight With Vincent Browne was on last night. Oh did we we miss a humdinger. Daily Star editor Ger Colleran was in Vincent’s ‘seat’ amid a yabbering clusterfuck of slebs, including Louis Walsh, (above, with friend, in happier times). We hope to get some clips from TV3 during the morning. But this is a flava of the correspondence our overnight desk were dealing with:

OMG Louis Walsh’s Leprechaun haircut on Vincent Browne tonight, and don’t get me started on the rest, Glenda Gilson and the fashion police, Terry Prone  in her peach blush, and your mate with the cleft asshole, Micheal O’Doherty.

Ger Colleran led panel of country’s finest minds- Louis, Glenda, Mod, Terry Prone and some journo. So awful it was awfully brilliant. Ger cornered glenda on her uncle liam lawlor. Louis brought up the fashion police. Like St John of God’s meets The Ivy.

The genie’s out of the bottle. The celebrity/news nexus is fractured. It’s the end of irony. Oh and that guy Colleran is more hatstand than Browne.”

More as we get it.


A dog barks. The phone rings. Will you review the papers on Tonight, tonight?

“Tonight?,” you say.

“Yes, Tonight, this very night, tonight”

To which you reply: ‘Tonight with Vincent Browne, tonight? It’s very late at night. Why, of course I’ll do it’. And, right there, the wily old hack has you.

Don’t worry. Learn these excuses off by heart. But hurry, little ones, there’s not much time left.

10. “Can I get a taxi voucher to go back to Wicklow after the show. Hello? Is this thing on?

9. “I don’t read. Never have. I listen”

8. “Are. You. Out. Of. Your, Fucking. Mind?” (don’t wait for answer, just hang up)

7. I don’t know where you’re going later but I’ve a cabin. It’s simple: candles and a fold-out. We can just talk.

6. “Just as long as I can quote from my blog.”

5. “Vincent, my family haven’t forgotten how you treated Nan when you were at UCD. Yeah, well, she remembers because she was in LOVE.”

4. “If I wanted to be in the Ballymount Industrial Estate at midnight I’d have taken up joy-riding.” (you may add for colour: “Not that those kids can catch a break, what with the political system as it is.”).

2. “If I wanted to be brow-beaten and sighed to death I’d have exhumed my father.”

1. “Here, while you’re on. I’m thinking of launching a weekly current-affairs magazine. Hello? Is this thing on?”
