The Pat Kenny Show

The Pat Kenny Show is a televised talk show broadcast on Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) in the mid-1980s.

Created to fill the vacant Saturday night slot after the departure of Gay Byrne's The Late Late Show from Saturday to Friday nights, The Pat Kenny Show was Pat Kenny's first attempt at presenting a talk show. Kenny had previously been more concerned with presenting current affairs output. The Pat Kenny Show was a failure, being replaced by Saturday Live, which was presented by a different presenter every week. Kenny was given another chance when he was asked to present one edition of Saturday Live. This time he proved to be a success and went on to become the regular presenter of a new show, Kenny Live.
