TV3 DEBUTED A new hour-long version of its flagship entertainment show Xposé this evening.

It was broadcast live from a new studio in Ballymount, and also featured the station’s new signing – Peter O’Riordan, aka THAT GUY from the TMZ video.

The idea was to be “stylish”, “fresh” and with a new level of “interactivity” featuring viewer tweets throughout the programme – as well as fresh segments and more panel pieces.

Peter, meanwhile, was down to bring a “cheekier presenting style” to the show.

Anticipation was high.

And how did it go? Well, some people were dead impressed, frankly.

Some, however, were disappointed with what they saw as a strong resemblance to E! News.

And how did the new guy Peter do? Well, all the talk was about his head movements.

But basically, the jury’s still out

So let’s focus on more important matters. Like the segment on bum enhancers.

Maybe this is what they meant by a cheekier presenting style.
