ON A LATE Late that featured Bob Geldof, Nigella Lawson and some serious food being served up – there was only one set of guests the nation could talk about.
Mark Ryan / TwitterSo this weeks #LateLate started with Dustin the turkey & @TheAlPorter in drag, did someone spike my wine?? Now it's Robert Geldof & the rats

Don’t make a show of us in front of Nigella, please.

They did manage to get in the most infamous reference of last week’s Christmas extravaganza though:

I’m getting sick of seeing Mary O’Rourke on the telly.
We’re getting sick of seeing you here every day.
What’s this ‘we’ business, Paleface?
No offence Beachmaster but you are rather prolific on the auld comments, are you in prison or house-bound perhaps?
Beach never takes a day off here, and she’s sick watching telly…./o\
Fu (k the haters Beachmaster..
Why on earth do people still watch the late late show in this day and age? What is wrong with people??
Old people & squares – the same type that go to mass.
Squares – was that slang in the 60s?
Words don’t expire.
But slang does. Not many ask for pint of reeb nowadays. Victorian slang for beer (backwards).
Obviously Conor the people watching the Late Late are not of the high calibre of person you are and don’t live the ‘hip and happening’ lifestyle we could only wet dream about. So where do all the cool triangles and hexagons hang and chill these days?
Probably getting stoned & playing guitar on a Friday night, and listening to music, engaging in interesting conversation – certainly not watching the late late show.
My mother watches it because she’s old and finds it familiar, and because everything else on TV now is just people being eaten by zombies or talent shows
Nothing wrong with that, Neal – she fits the demographic. I just stated a fact.
Nothing is good on TV now…
The same reason people watch car crashes and their results, morbid fascination.
It’s an embarrassing show
Another exemplary example of cut and paste journalism about a complete and utter non story
Copy & paste, Tony.
Your knowledge of I.T. is limited.
Is it Ciaran? Explain. Because when you cut & paste something, the original disappears. Is that what happened here? The Journal “cut” an article from Buzzfeed, and the original Buzzfeed article on their website was left as a blank page?
Dustin was always a very funny bird….Mary O Rourke isn’t…….
Heard he has a drink problem.
Yeah pepper…he could really have cut loose on a late night show…maybe its not too late…and so what James if he has a drink problem…..
Thought it was mick Wallace in the picture before I read the heading my bad.
He got punished for the Eurovision, has RTE let him out now for good behaviour?
Al Porter is the most one dimensional comedian I’ve ever heard.
have your say
