    I'm Irish and never heard of these lads but I have so much respect for Jimmy Breslin after watching this. You can tell he was a real honest guy who cared deeply about inequality. RIP

      Same, well Irish parents and born in Glasgow and I must find out more about him. Not many things worse than an Irish person being racist about other poor folk trying to start a new life

    Jimmy Breslin was an American original. His column interviewing the fellow who dug JFK's grave is a classic.

      I am a reporter for a small town paper. My favorite part about that column is, aside from the fantastic writing, that Breslin, amid everyone focused on JFK and the grim formality of it all, decided to walk off the beaten path and talk to the gravedigger. It's just great observational reporting.

    Jimmy Breslin almost played Roy Schneider’s role in the French Connection but William Friedkin fired him when he learned Breslin didn’t have a driver’s license.

    Jimmy Breslin is considered to be a New York Cultural Treasure by literate New Yorkers imo.

    Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel at all.

    have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like the other ones.

    What I found interesting in this conversation is that neither Breslin nor O'Dowd observed that the wave of well educated Irish immigrants represented a "brain drain" for Ireland. Is that not a tragedy?

    Really wasn't fair that these Irish could sneak in because they spoke english and were white while non white people wait years to get in.

      @@robingagan6288 I'm not blaming them just saying it's unfair. It is also unfair that hispanic people because they live near the US get to sneak in while people who live on the other side of the world must wait.
