Dermot Morgan: Father Trendy and The Live Mike
Dermot Morgan as Father Ted His final and most acclaimed character.
The Dublin-born Morgan first came to prominence as part of the team of the highly successful RTÉ television show The Live Mike, presented by Mike Murphy. Between 1979 and 1984 Morgan, previously a full-time teacher at St. Michael's, Ailesbury Road, played a range of comic characters, who would appear between segments, including
Father Trendy, an unxious trying to be cool Roman Catholic priest given to drawing ludicrous parallels with non-religious life in two minute 'chats' to camera, to the hilarity of the audience. He also played among other characters an intolerant GAA bigot, who would wave his hurley stick around aggressively while verbally attacking his pet hates. Morgan's success, which made him an instant hit the viewers, led him to quit teaching and become a full-time comedian.
