Open House is an afternoon television show broadcast on RTÉ One between 1999 and 2004. The last episode was broadcast in 2004.^[2] It was presented by Mary Kennedy and Marty Whelan and focused on lifestyle, cookery and human interest issues. Presenters included Dermot O'Neill, the popular gardening expert. The show was broadcast five days a week (Monday to Friday), and was also transmitted to the United Kingdom via Tara Television.

Open House replaced Live at 3, and was itself replaced by The Afternoon Show.^[3]

It was popular with students and rapper Coolio laughed when two of the show's researchers replaced missing dancers.^[4]

Marty does not know what will replace Open House, which came to an end last Thursday after 747 shows. "I certainly hope it won't be re-runs of old sitcoms or films," he said. "The whole attraction of Open House was that it was live, current and fresh. It was a Tyrone Productions show so maybe RTE just want to take it back inside and make it themselves, with their own people on board."
