The Meaning of Life with Gay Byrne

Tommy Tiernan (2x2)

Data emisji: Sty 24, 2010

Tommy Tiernan hit the headlines last summer with what were perceived as horrifically anti-semitic remarks. To Gay Byrne, who knows him well, this outburst was mystifying, since he doesn’t imagine for a moment that Tommy espouses those obnoxious views. Tommy sets out to explain why, in his view, the stage gives him not only a licence, but a sacred duty, to say the unsayable, whatever the consequences. Religion proves a surprisingly strong element in his make-up.
