  • David Icke appearing on the show wearing a turquoise-coloured shell suit, and claiming to be "a son of the Godhead". Wogan memorably commented to David at one point of the audience's laughter, "They're not laughing with you, David, they're laughing at you."

  • George Best appearing on the show in September 1990 extremely drunk, and needing to be escorted off set.
