Line 1:
{{
'''Michael Terrence Wogan''' was born in 1938, grew up in Limerick and started out in the media as a continuity announcer for RTE Radio in Dublin. And then he ended up becoming a legend in his own lifetime.
His breakfast show, both on Radio 1 and later Radio 2, achieved listening figures approaching 10% of the entire population of the British Isles. Consistently, five days a week for ''twenty-seven years'', even with a ten-year break in the middle. Also the commentator for the [[Eurovision Song Contest]] for well over two decades.
Line 6:
He was also a familiar face on British television during the 1980s and early 1990s, hosting the chat-show ''Wogan'' on BBC-1.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: The entire Kingdom of Denmark for a few years after he described their Eurovision hosts as "Doctor Death and the Tooth Fairy".
* [[Audience Participation]]: Letters, emails, texts and tweets from listeners are a key part of the show's surreal and occasionally deranged humour.
