'irishman' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'game show one' is the wordplay.
'game' becomes 'RU' (rugby union).
'show' becomes 'air' (both can mean broadcast).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'ru'+'air'+'i'='RUAIRI'

'for' acts as a link.
