Most people are pretty much over it by now but in case you were wondering what the former Late Late Show host Saint Gaybo thought of proceedings last Friday night, it was all A-okay with him.
The broadcaster was speaking at the launch of the Diageo Guinness World War One Archive Exhibition in the Little Museum of Dublin where he commented on the reaction to last week's show saying; "I think it's great that any TV show causes a bit of talk, discussion and scandal," he told the Herald.
"Everyone says TV is dead and yet we can't stop talking about it, whether it's the Late Late Show or Stephen Fry on The Meaning of Life or George Hook talking about his mother on Brendan O'Connor's Saturday Night Show.
"The reality is you cannot do a programme like the Late Late Show and not get complaints."
Gay Byrne wasn't short of a scandalous show in his time either what with Bishops and nighties and what not. Going on to say; "When I presented it, the complaints were many and varied. I was read from pulpits and there were special meetings with county councils condemning the show and asking for Gay Byrne's head."
Byrne also commented on Ronan O'Gara's controversial comments saying; "Well, he is a rugger bugger, I suppose. That's how they talk."
Ouch!
