    A nasty little man with his condescending attitude. Big fish small pond persona, no wonder no one else wanted him.

    The very definition of a pair of useless arseholes.
    RTE wouldnt know what talent was, they rejected Brendan Grace or Dermot Morgan and these were two very funny and unique guys

    Although I did like Terry Wogan n some ways, he was one boring person.
    He could put anybody to sleep with his talking.

    I do agree.
    And I assume that most of us grew up watching those guys as kids till they passed away.

    The late late show made gay Byrne, not the other way around. Wogan had a big slot in UK with his chat show, Wogan.
