BAD SISTERS creator and star Sharon Horgan appeared on Wednesday’s THE TOMMY TIERNAN SHOW on RTÉ One where she spoke about navigating the entertainment industry as a woman, as well as finding a balance between her career and home lives. Horgan’s influence on contemporary comedy is undeniable, a testament to her sharp wit and a writer’s instinct for the painfully funny truths of modern life. From the raw, unflinching honesty of PULLING, which she co-wrote and starred in, to the critically acclaimed CATASTROPHE, a series that redefined the romantic comedy by injecting it with a healthy dose of grim reality alongside co-writer and co-star Rob Delaney, Horgan has consistently crafted narratives that resonate deeply. Her work on MOTHERLAND further cemented her reputation for exploring the unvarnished realities of womanhood, relationships, and parenthood, creating characters that are flawed, relatable, and utterly hilarious. She possesses a unique ability to weave uncomfortable truths into comedic gold, making us laugh while simultaneously wincing in recognition. Her ventures into production with Merman have also empowered other distinct voices, showcasing a commitment to expanding the landscape of intelligent, character-driven comedy beyond her own brilliant output.
Meanwhile, Tommy Tiernan has carved out a unique space in the crowded world of television hosting, particularly with THE TOMMY TIERNAN SHOW. What sets him apart is his audacious, and indeed brilliant, decision to interview guests without any prior knowledge of their identity or background. This unconventional approach transforms each episode into an unscripted, often profoundly intimate, and always unpredictable conversation. Tiernan’s innate curiosity, his genuine empathy, and his masterful ability to listen and react in the moment elevate these exchanges beyond typical chat show banter. He creates an atmosphere where vulnerability is encouraged, leading to moments of surprising honesty, profound insight, and often, uproarious laughter. It’s a high-wire act of improvised television, relying entirely on his quick thinking, his vast general knowledge, and his deep well of human understanding. The result is a viewing experience unlike any other, proving that authentic connection, rather than meticulously researched questions, is the bedrock of truly compelling television.
