He is doing a good job in the after show . Adrian Chiles is not missed.

The only thing I don't understand is why they have a comedian on every week as one of the panel. Dara is able to fulfill any comedic role.

You're Fired is funnier than it's ever been and is almost better than the main show now.

The humour from Dara doesn't feel forced. He's just a naturally very witty guy.

I like that there's a comedien on the panel for Dara to bounce off of.

I love this programme, never watched it when Chiles was on as I can't stand him. The contestants real personality's come through

Loving Daras work but do we really need three guests, some of whom are bland to say the least.

Dara is a lovely young thing though looks far older than his tender years suggest.

I used to love it with Adrian on so I was concerned that Dara wouldn't be as funny. But he's great!

I was also worried I would miss Adrian Chiles, but Dara is fantastic. I thought he was great last series, but he really seems to have slotted into his role this series. His comment about Jim being a Jedi had me roaring.

I've not seen him in his stand up role. Is it worth watching, or is he one of these who injects the 'F' word into every sentence to try and get a laugh?

I think they have to put a comedian on the panel to make the program lighter. If three "serious" business personalities are in the panel, then, the program became a debate and could be quite boring for the audience. I think one of the aims of the program is to make fun of ridiculous coments or situations during the tasks, so they need someone to help Dara, while the other two can give more business like point of view.

Dara is fantastic live - very witty and sharp, and rarely swears. It's basically what you see while he's presenting, only better.

As the host I think there's a limit to how nasty he can be to the candidate. A guest comedian can be a bit tougher, with Dara moderating.

You do need to be fully-fit to watch him and not miss anything. He's turbo charged in stand-up!!

Well worth the effort!!

Shame, he was very good. It's alway been a good programme imo. The main show doesn't always highlight and ridicule some of the momentous idiotic things the candidates say and do and this programme rarely fails to dig out these gems.

He's one of the sharpest stand ups there is. Especially the way he interacts with the audience.

Yes, he throws in a few eff ee (he's Irish!) sea kays every now and then - but not gratuitously.

Definitely recommend seeing him live.

How old is he? I'd put him at early forties.

Oh, well I see their point then. I thought I was being generous with early forties.

I did't really mind Adrian but Dara is certainly an improvement.

I was given Dara's stand-up DVD AT Christmas and I think he would be a great candidate for Strictly.
He's funny and he can shake his moneymaker like a good un'

Love Dara, totally the right person for the role. I did like Adrian Chiles though. Sadly Adrian's career seems to be in the toilet (IMO). I wonder what he thinks if he tunes into Your Fired watching Dara putting his real stamp on the show?
