Don't Feed the Gondolas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don't Feed The Gondolas was an Irish television quiz show on RTÉ, similar in format to the BBC's Have I Got News For You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. It ran from 1998 to 2000. The host was Seán Moncrieff, and the regular panellists were Brendan O'Connor and Dara Ó Briain.
The name of the show is attributed to a remark made by a Wicklow County Councillor, Jimmy Miley, during a meeting regarding Blessington Lake. When the meeting proposed putting a gondola on the lake, he remarked: "That's all very well, but who's going to feed it?"[citation needed]
A running gag of the show, whereby the host Seán Moncrieff would make prank calls under the alias 'Monica Loolly' and claim to be from a small town in Galway named Ahascragh.
