Sometimes you have to say you miss Pat Kenny from The Late Late Show. That pretender Tubs really has not made that much of an impact. For all the criticisms of Pat Kenny on the Late Late he did do some of this best work on the show, Ireland's most watch chat show. Though unfortunately he did have some major gaffs but in fairness to him his interview with the cast of Jackass shows he's clearly happy to laugh at his mistakes and move on, though perhaps this phone call to the Late Late was the fault of the producers, who without knowing possibly made comedy gold.
