RTE viewers praise Tommy Tiernan Show as 'the best thing on television' after 'top interview yet'

Viewers of the Tommy Tiernan Show on Saturday night are hailing the programme as "one of the best yet" after another round of "fascinating" interviews.

People watching the chat show at home described the programme as "the best thing on television" and hailed the host for his "gifted" interviewing style.

Snooker legend Jimmy White, Monaghan actress Charlene McKenna and musician Brush Shiels were the latest guests to appear on the show.

Tommy Tiernan received widespread plaudits from the public after the show, with many taking to social media to heap praise on the comedian.

One person said: "This show really is the gold standard of interviewing brilliance. #TommyTiernanShow."

A third said: "Tommy was almost as good as Croker earlier #GoodSaturday #TommyTiernanShow."

A fourth added: "Really great interview @tommedian how you lead the conversation is an absolute art form. Your programme is the best thing on tele #TommyTiernanShow."

While someone else said: "Take all of my RTE licence fee and just give it to Tommy Tiernan. Brilliant interviews every single week. Tonight could have been one of his best. #TommyTiernanShow."

Tiernan's chat with Jimmy White was a highlight for many RTE viewers on Saturday as one of the biggest names in snooker history opened up on his alcohol issues.

One person said: "I’d seriously sit here all night listening to these two chatting, it’s so real and pure..no one is trying to sell anything or trick them into answering something they don’t want to, just two lads having a chat #TommyTiernanShow."

A second wrote: "Jimmy White looks better than he did 20 years ago. Tiernan loves his snooker and White responded. Fascinating interview and a fascinating sportsman whose senses are still filled by the game. My late grandmother’s hero. #tommytiernanshow."

A third said: "That last 15 minutes of chat between Tommy Tiernan and Jimmy White has justified the t.v license fee all by itself. #TommyTiernanShow."

While another added: "Hats off to Jimmy White.. what an interview probably one of the best interviews I've seen.. different class. Love how Tommy Tiernan just the guest talk about what they want.. #TommyTiernanShow."
