People were not impressed.
The Ray D’Arcy Show was on the telly last night and the viewing public in Ireland weren’t too impressed with what was on offer.
Twitter are always quick to slate talk shows like D’Arcy’s and the Late Late Show, but it was especially annoyed with one segment last night.
Ray pumped up the crowd and introduced legendary actor Jack Nicholson. Wow, what a scoop says you, ah, no, it was just a Jack Nicholson lookalike.
Watch the horror unfold here.
Ray’s plea of “it wasn’t my idea” live on TV would indicate that he wanted nothing to do with it.
Twitter went into overdrive, the general consensus was “WTF?”.
So the #raydarcyshow had to bring in a Jack Nicholson lookalike to get the audience to wake up and react. Jesus….

Dear #RayDarcyShow Producer. Feedback – a Jack Nicholson impersonator is a very bad idea. Signed, The Country.

Not watching but apparently 1 of the guests on #raydarcyshow is a Jack Nicholson impersonator. Scraping the ground where barrel used to be.

#raydarcyshow did Ray feel it necessary to practically sit on top of the Jack Nicholson impersonator? He was clearly uncomfortable! Strange.
