Hmm, I think this means Kenny on the Late Late hasn't been a sparkling talker or stimulator of sparkling talk for his guests. I think he has been a lacklustre talk show host, asking inane questions and not probing and failing to plumb hidden depths. I also think programme planners have run the show into the ground by choosing an endless conveyor belt of dimwit "celebrities" whose only talent is for wearing celeb clothes and flaunting designer hairstyles that cover hollow minds. The RTE producers don't need to hire Ryan Tubridy to succeed Kenny. They need to scrap the show and replace it with three or more discussion and documentary programmes that stimulate viewers' curious minds rather than serve as chewing gum for glazed eyes.
