Most nights when Vincent Browne is on TV people watch. Why? Apart from delving into various current affairs, Tonight On Vincent Browne can often be entertaining.
But when the word went around that Vincent Browne would be covering the Marriage Referendum from the George with Glenda Gilson and Bosco?
The #vinb #marref results show will be nothing short of comedy gold !!
Vincent Brown live from The George... With Glenda Gilson & Bosco đŸ˜‚— Gerard Hannon (@rettiwt5463) May 22, 2015
Needless to say, this was a genius idea, and it was something that twitter went wild for, and good reason. Here is the best online reaction from the shenanigans.
Same sex marriage, @vinb broadcasts from The George and the final of the Eurovision. Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached peak gay. #vinb

Not sure @TheGeorgeBar comely maidens dancing at the crossroads is quite De Valera's vision, but it's brilliant #vinb

Things got very crazy when Bosco arrived:

So what actually happened in the show?
The people loved it:
#vinb at The George is the best - this is how to do a referendum results show!

#VinB has Bosco as a guest. That's it. You win the Referendum coverage, Vincent.

And this is probably why, here's an image you'd never thought you'd have in your head:
This day is NUTS. Yes, that's #vinb, two topless men in devil horns and a drag queen. #MarRef pic.twitter.com/sRhZVilXZl

And good old Vincent kept his cool well.
Make sure you watch the show on the TV3 Player when it goes up.
