11 times Ray D'Arcy captured the nation's heart
RAY BEGINS HIS brand new show on RTÉ One tonight – looking to take over Irish Saturday night telly.
No pressure Ray, you only have decades of epic TV moments to live up to. Like:
1. When he interviewed Mary Robinson on The Den
He got the President of Ireland, Dustin and Zig and Zag to sit in a room together for our TV entertainment.
Never forget.
2. Also, when he line-danced on The Den
<3
Giving it socks.
3. When he did the Ice Bucket Challenge on The Rose of Tralee
Is there anything more Irish than that sentence?
4. When he recreated the Firestarter video
Ah, Prodigy. Ray did you proud on this one.
5. When a young Kylie Minogue appeared on RTÉ in 1990
And ended up dunking a load of sludge all over Ray
Good times.
6. This lip-synced Nothing Compares 2 You
So much emotion.
7. When he let a rake of people hurl water balloons at him to break a world record
8. When he quizzed the nation’s youth on Blackboard Jungle
That iconic set.
9. When he did this on Today FM
Dancing his way into them.
10. Any time he pulled off Dad dancing in public in fact
11. And finally… when he hosted the Rose of Tralee and wasn’t afraid of the slight mortification that comes with the job
The original Daithi, you could say.
Good luck tonight, Ray.
