[edit] Cleanup

I removed the sentence "He later entered the world of insurance." This sentence does not make any sense, and is not supported or explained by anything else in the article. Perhaps it was purple prose for "he later took a job selling insurance"? At any rate, it seems entirely nonessential and I thought it was confusing. Jerry 23:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ludicrousness

"He has hosted for one season, the Irish version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Due to Byrne's ludicrously high salary for the show it only lasted one year." - How is "ludicrously" measured in this case? And is this the definitive reason why it lasted for just one year?Dunjohn (talk) 21:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Definite POV, I have removed it. Snappy56 (talk) 11:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
