CRAIG DOYLE IS to front a revival of the late-night chatshow Nighthawks as part of a major revamp of RTÉ Two television this autumn.
The Irish Daily Mail reports that the former BBC Sport presenter will front a Nighthawks-style show that will be broadcast once a week but will increase to three if successful. It is part of an overhaul of the television channel that it is felt is needed in light of hemorrhaging viewership and falling advertising revenue.
Nighthawks was first presented by Shay Healy when it was launched in 1988. It featured several future comedy stars including Kevin McAleer and Graham Norton. Ironically, it was launched as part of a major re-branding of RTÉ Two as Network 2. The station then became known as N2 between 1997 and 2004 when it reverted to RTÉ Two.
As part of the overhaul, the Mail reports that Aprés Match’s Barry Murphy will front a series called Murphy’s Pictorial Weekly with Maeve Higgins’ Fancy Vittles axed. The reality show Naked Camera is being moved to Thursday night on RTÉ One.

No matter what way they chop and dice it we’re still paying back the debt on a private bank that we should never have assumed.
Gilmore “expecting” again, is he an elephant, he’s seems to be expecting something for a long time.
same old lies. thinking he is stringing us along with his bull crap….lie, steal, who cares….
& in other news,pigs have been spotted flying over Leinster house
Pigs need not fly over Leinster house when they can sit comfortably at the trough located within.
Some favour they are doing us Alri nearly 20billion in interest on a 30billion lone..better off with out it
Brilliant LMAO
Some body is trying to ruin my Sunday . First a photo of enda and now gilmore .
@Tax Slave you know what they say “A Bad Penny Turns Up everywhere” and they are worse that the bad penny more like the enemy
Oh FFS. The due date on the promissory note can be pushed back 100 years without causing a credit event in europe. It can be done, it should be done, instead of what happened last year i.e converting it into soverign debt which will accrue 13 years interest before being landed on our kids, and michael noonan declaring it a victory.
Is it just me or is head getting bigger
Nonnon will be gettin fatter on his big fat pension….in other words he does not give a toss
So the good news is what? We are still paying a dead banks debt but spread over a few more years. So hurry let’s get more people working in this country to pay this debt and make up more taxes just to pay this debt. Here’s a novel idea. Let’s not pay it?
Why don’t you go kick Angela’s door door and tell her whats what…. Your novel idea will mean that Ireland will be refused funding thus meaning we will not have any money to pay for social welfare, public services etc… Its quite simply really… In addition the international reputation which has restored over the last 2 years would be undone in one foul swoop…
Thanks making it long term so my children and even gran-children will have to be debt slaves to Europe , stand up be a man and do like Greece did and get some debt written off ! Ye are a useless bunch!
Lying lick spittle, how does he possibly think he will fool anyone with such pathetic half truths and misleading comments?You’re worse than the others Gilmore because you pretended you weren’t like them.
Eamon is ilke OJ Simpson still telling people things they know not to be true.
Just resign, that’s all!
Do they seriously think we believe them or (outside their own circles) have even the slightest bit of faith in them.
I wouldn’t believe the Lords prayer from them.
I actually do Mike.. I believe a deal will be done!!! I am sure though that the majority of j.ie contributors including the journalists who work for it will be very annoyed when we do!!!!
@ Declan. “IF” a deal is done without being sleeveen or underhanded I will gladly eat humble pie but there isn’t a straight line in the dail and this shower are not capable of being truthful or thinking of others outside their own circles.
I do believe that Noonan or kenny are either sleeveen or underhanded!! Just dont believe it!! I do however have a huge mistrust of our commercial media such as journal.ie etc….
Dont believe I meant to say Mike…
Declan – Out of interest, why would you have distrust for commercial news websites like us, and from where do you base your premise that me and my colleagues would be disappointed to see the government succeed?
Quite simply Gavin, there is more revenue in bad news than good news… The people who hit up journal.ie and other websites and certainly the ones that comment are predominately anti-goverment…thus your readers shall we say want bad news becasue they thrive on it! There is commercial value in turning small stories into big ones and also in dragging out stories way longer than they need to be… The comments of Pat Rabbitte in my opinion were on the money!!
Declan – From comparing our traffic figures to the level and number of commenters, we’d feel pretty confident in saying that the majority of our readers are silent and don’t feel particularly compelled to engage in comments. I wouldn’t interpret the attitudes of the minority who DO choose to speak their minds as reflective of the overall majority.
@ Declan.
I don’t think that’s fair on Gavin. The government have given people many reasons not to believe or trust them and by their own admission they have lied and gone back on promises.
The Journal just report news and would it ever dawn on you that a huge amount of people actually detest,lothe,dispise the government and are sick to the back teeth with them and their deception.
I reckon you would have a serious eye opener if a vote was called tomorrow.
You would be destroyed .
“Gilmore expects promissory note deal”
The headline should be changed to “Pope expects triplets”. It would be more credible.
Lol
Gilmore is taking out the magic wand again to make debt disappear. Just like last year then Eamon.
I believe you Eamon!! And I won the lottery last night.
I think Gilmore is a great man …… after the second pink floyd album he came into his own ….. as for the Labour partys leader …… It must really be hard to hold a straight face …… even on both of them … #Labourswayorpepperspray
hahaha brilliant mary,
prefer the ‘live in gdansk albums meself
and Behan was definately right!
Believe it when I see it…. Sure didn’t he say 2 years ago before the election that he was going to tell frankfurt where did could stuff their the debt that Ireland owed…
Rubbish!
Does anyone actually take Eamon Gilmoran seriously?
More seriously than journal.ie ……. Yeah…without a doubt…at least sometimes he is relevant…… Journal.ie is the media equivalent of the ambulance chasing legal profession….
These guys just want to push it in to the next generations to pay under a different leadership. By that stage these ministers have cleaned out the coffers with the help of the senior civil servants. The poor people will end up paying on the double for their mismanagement.
Why don’t his old Sinn Fein The Workers Party print a few billion notes….
….like they used to.
paddy good q. but sean cant get the paper from north korea any longer.
Is this article part of the best Irish lies story??
can anyone guess the popular political phrase, starts with “S” and ends with “ite”…… you guessed it, soundbite, a personal favourite of Mr Gilmore
Dah ! Boring ! !!!!!!!!!
And we are going to need a surplus of at least 1 billion a year and every year for the next 30-40 yrs to pay in back in order to maintain our depth within the 3% deficit limit -
Another tedious and insulting PR exercise
Yes he doesn’t mean it really
We don’t believe Gilmore, Kenny, Hogan, Burton or any of their blatant lies.
More pollution from this disgracefull goverment
more crap in this one than the burgers.
Are we seriously expected to believe this constant Gilmore liar?
blame the media? government buildings is a virtual conveyor belt for bad news these days -even when its spun as something else.
as for putting a microphone in front of Happy Gilmore- might as well wheel out out Eoin Harris, for all the notice people takes of him.
have your say
