Created to fill the vacant Saturday night slot after the departure of Gay Byrne's The Late Late Show from Saturday to Friday nights, The Pat Kenny Show was Pat Kenny's first attempt at presenting a talk show.
Kenny had previously been more concerned with presenting current affairs output.
Kenny was given another chance when he was asked to present one edition of Saturday Live.
This time he proved to be a success and went on to become the regular presenter of a new show, Kenny Live.
