I reckon being kicked in The Pills would be more humorous than Lawrence Mooney

I saw Mooney’s stand up live years ago. I didn’t like him before hand, and I liked him a lot less after.
I know that smugness/cynicism is a pretty standard act for a lot of comedians, but to me Mooney always comes across as a genuinely shit bloke.

We have dozens of phenomenal comedians.
But much as tv networks seem to think otherwise, comedian =/= successful panelist. And in Mooney's case, successful panelist (or radio host) =/= comedian.
Most comedians don't want to be panelists - they'd rather write for The Project than be on the panel - but they've gotta pay rent. Then there are other comedians who don't go near tv panels, and do gags about the (necessary) hypocrisy of "panel comedians."
Given the right format and a good guest, it showed again that Andy Maher being what he is - a straight man and footy nerd - is more natural, engaging, and funnier than either Mooney or especially Molloy, as long as Sam is there is bounce off him.
Barnaby Joyce would be one.....that drunk politician character he has been playing for years is an amazing piece of work
Good to see someone not scared to rip the shit out of Pendlebury.

Didn’t see it, did they have any fun with Whateley’s ongoing meltdown? If not I’m sure they will next week
Unfortunately no.
Billy used to be a school bus driver years ago.
Imagine misbehaving on that bus.
I’m tipping ‘85 GF goal. Bus driving stories, shoulder surgery where I’m not quite sure if he can lift his arms above his shoulders . Sheedy was/is mental. Come on Super, just go with the flow mate. ( Has to be a VanderHaar drinking story)Oh no….interminable repeats of Brereton kissing him…like no one has seen it….
Yeah, ok…probably something worth watching.

People who bag Maher don’t have a clue. He willingly plays the butt of jokes while keeping a fast pace and asking smart questions of guests.
Duckworth not the most interesting guest….
Yep shits all over Darcy
I think the issue with Maher is his radio persona - it’s so irritating that it reflects onto anything he does.
He’s a genuine ‘student of the game’ - but he’s always putting his hand up - and when he isn’t he’s purging complete drivel….bloody annoying.

He did a very funny piece about being backstage with Denise Drysdale and having seen her in a bra. (DD had remarkably large breasts, before having them toned down a bit)
Darcy struggles to speak. Every fourth word is "ah". How is he in the media?! He's worse on radio that he is on tv
I thought Billy Duckworth was good.
He’s got a very friendly face, the sort of bloke you would have a chat with at a country pub.
