  • A piece to camera from Gay Byrne is constantly interrupted by an enthusiastic French football fan. However all is not as it seems.
    A coup for Mike Murphy as he plays a prank on his colleague and friend Gay Byrne in a candid camera sketch for ‘The Live Mike’.
    Acting as an overenthusiastic Frenchman, Murphy constantly interrupts and torments Byrne as he films a piece to camera at Trinity College. Gay Byrne finally cracks telling the French football supporter where to go.
    This episode of ‘The Live Mike’ was broadcast on 8 January 1982.
    ‘The Live Mike’ ran on RTÉ between 1979 and 1983 and combined music, comedy sketches and studio guests.

    One of the great moments in RTE history. I remember, clearly, the night that this was shown on The Live Mike show. It was priceless. Mike was very convincing and, fair play to Gay, he took it well and was able to laugh at himself.

    Gay's eagerness to verbally abuse a random French tourist is what makes this so funny.

      If our dear departed Gay MARY Byrne was a like and did that now, curing at our French cousin he would be deported and rightly so. Ha Ha very good and funny

    I am in total shocked by my most favorite TV presenter of all time and in all the world, the blessed and holy Gay MARY Byrne getting angry and curing at our visting French cousins. Gary just like John Wayne/Marion Robert Morrison also had a girls name and only did them the world of good

    Nothing to do with this exactly but does anyone remember the then Irish Prime Minister, in the 1970s, being interviewed about the cost of living. He was in front of a dry cleaners, and it had in the window, SUITS £1.80. It of course meant, to be dry cleaned, but the PM said, cost of living, look? suits cost only £1.80 each! He was joking of course but the reporter initially thought he was serious. 😂

    Could it be the whole thing was staged? Is there any footage of what Gaybo was actually banging on about Trinity College out here? Also no way Oswald acted alone.

      From watching it and having seen many staged videos, his reaction seems genuine.

    Maybe it's just me, but I never found any candid camera-type pranks funny, and I certainly never found Murphy funny.
