VINCENT BROWNE WILL get the chance to interview the Taoiseach tomorrow, having missed out on the chance to interview his predecessor.
Browne will interview Leo Varadkar on tomorrow’s show – his second-last programme on TV3.
Browne confirmed at the start of the month that he will step down from the Tonight show from Thursday after ten years at the helm. The station says Browne is doing so for personal reasons. Browne has not made any comment on the matter.
A statement from TV3 said the interview will be wide-ranging:
“Vincent will take this opportunity to ask the Taoiseach about his plans for his time in office and what he meant by vowing to represent ‘people who get up early in the morning’.
Another topic of conversation is sure to be Brexit and the Taoiseach’s priorities for the period ahead including Northern Ireland, the budget and the capital plan.
Varadkar’s predecessor Enda Kenny had refused to appear on the show after Browne had said he should “lock himself in a dark room with a gun and a bottle of whiskey”.
Browne apologised for what he called the “stupid and insensitive” remarks. However, in the run-up to the 2011 election, Kenny said that he would not appear on “any programme that Vincent Browne has anything to do with”.

I know it’s from last week but I’d really recommend The Martian. Spectacular film.
Only saw a cam version but thought it was a bit dull. Good concept but the film was lacklustre
I was a good film. Nothing brilliant mind. Black Mass is incredible.
Over hyped like gravity Stephen?
It was better than gravity supernova but a bit disappointing. I sound like I hate everything
I’ll give it a watch anyway when better quality is available. The best Sci fi film I’ve seen in over a decade is “the man from Earth” not your typical exhilarating thriller type but it’s more than engaging. It’s that rare film that requires inquisitiveness.. A blend of theology, fantasy and mind games. Definitely worth a watch
That sounds awfully good. I think the likes of the omega man and soylent green are way more inventive than these big over budgeted sci fi films out now like this and interstellar. All those millions spent and they’re just a bit blah
Don’t tell me Scott threw in some wishy washy religious crap like he did in Prometheus
He didn’t. He did an Apollo13 fixed.
“Only saw a cam version but thought it was a bit dull”
You’re a bit dull.
Has anyone seen that weird film called constipation yet?. Oh ya I forgot,it isn’t out yet.
Suffragrette looks a bit worthy. We get it, it was grim, move on!
Yeah…
When women acted like bicycles…
… chaining themselves to railings.
You had to explain your joke! Never a good feeling
I know… Tough audience…
But I’m here… Most days…
Never mind, I got it…there is a certain grandeur in being really disliked as we are
When’s hand job cabin out?
Going to see the Martian, again.
Brilliant movie.
Definitey not worth seeing twice.
Sicario esse no ?
Carrie mulligan is to boring drama films as toni Collette is to bawl your eyes out films
Wasn’t that impressed with The Martian. It got to a point where I really didn’t care if he got home or not. For me, Gravity was far superior. Sicario or Everest for me this weekend.
Everest is crap.
One of the movies is missing an f, twice. Poor f
have your say
