Tubridy Off To B.B.C

Di0genes

Has no one seen the Simpsons episode "Homer the Smithers

Smithers: I have to find someone to replace me while I'm gone who won't outshine me. I'll search the employee database under the word "incompetent".

Computer: 715 matches found.

Smithers: 715 names? I'd better narrow the search. Let's see... "lazy", "clumsy", "monstrously ugly".

Computer: Searching... 714 matches found.

Smithers: Nuts to this! I'll just go and get Homer Simpson.

Ross wants someone who won't threaten his job, to fill in for him while he hangs out on a beach. Viola Enter Tubridy. Bland non threatening fiiler,

Fago!

He's not fat anymore. He's quite slim in fact.


AND HE'S A LEGEND!!!

Bad news all round, he could use this to get an improved pay deal from RTE (bad), he could actually get a full time gig on BBC (even worse).

TeddyTedson

Is this thread bull****?

Mr Trade In

Let him go,hopefully we get Wogan for the Late Late Show,even Graham Norton would be better than Tubbs.

Poor Craythur

Serious question though: does anyone want to hazard a guess as to how he'll be received in the UK?

Irish voices seem to go down well in the UK (Dara O Brian, Terry Wogan, Annie Mac, various local radio DJs in UK). I reckon he'd do alright. It'd be like hearing a UK accent on our radios (There's an english dude on Phantom in dublin - he's alright). I wouldnt mind it, and I reckon many people wouldn't care what the accent is, as long as the content is good.

Just my opinion. I'd like to hear him on BBC Radio.

Whats with all the hate for Tubridy? I used to work in a hotel where he visited a few times, was always nice to the staff, far more so than many other people who stayed there.

Is it the usual Irish past time of hating on successful people? Or just the 'unfair' wage he earns?

_feedback_

I didn't bother reading this thread until now, as I assumed it was just búll****!
He probably would go down well there in a middle of the road type slot.

Yes, whenever someone dislikes someone else, IT'S ALWAYS BEGRUDGERY. :rolleyes:

Don't forget Dervla Kirwan - her voice is used to shíte on silkily about M&S chocolate puddings and whatnot!

Jealousy mate. He earns a huge wage and they don't. Obviously I'm jealous too that he earns so many hundred thousand euro a year and I don't, but I'd never wish him bad luck over it. Fair fucks to him. He's doing a job he loves for a lot of money. Anyone would kill for a job like that.

It is not jealousy - that is such an immature argument.

Yes, it's all because of jealousy. And begrudgery. That's the only thing that can explain it. Sigh.

well these people aren't giving any real reasons as to why they hate him, so one can only assume that it's jealousy. it's one thing to dislike a radioshow, but to hate a DJ/presenter for it is ****ing stupid and immature. If people don't like a presenter, switch the fuck OFF!!! Don't listen to the whole thing, come onto boards and complain about it!

Jeaslously? Nah. I just think he's a crap presenter who owes his career more to his grandfather's stint as Chairman of the RTE Authority than any talent he has.

wandatowell

The germ that is Tubridy is probably seen as the new Terry Wogan.

I'd say that has alot to do with career tbh. But I think he's good and wouldn't have gotten anywhere if he didn't have some talent.

I don't listen to or watch him. Because I think he is annoying and shit.

Thank you for asking!

I find him to be a lazy interviewer - he's not very incisive.

I find him to be patronising.

I find him vaguely pompous, though that might be forgiveable if I felt he was truly talented!

I find him to be a bit inept.

I think he is trying and failing to cultivate an image himself as a connoisseur of classy tastes.

I often get the impression he thinks he is too good for the gigs he has.

These are some of my reasons. I don't just randomly dislike people, I always have my reasons.

So sick of people saying this. People in the public realm put themselves out there for criticism.

How is he making a bags of it? He's pulling in listeners/viewers (I think, I stand to be corrected)

I don't mind people criticizing people, but when they give no good reason for slagging them, it annoys me. for instance, you just gave your reasons for disliking him. Fair play. That's a hell of alot more than some people are doing. "ahh **** him get him off the radio..overpaid twat"

eco2live

I am sure he will have the "George Lee, Can of P iss" clause in his contract. If it turns out that you are a can of p iss you can come back.

Enjoy winning streak in 2012 Tubs

Seen his radio show figures recently.
Radio show like the radio show he is supposedly going to present in the UK

the morning show has lost 91,000 listeners over the past 12 months and now attracts an average of just 216,000 listeners each day.

2fm and rte could play dead air for a few hours and still get 200k listeners.

I thought that C bird in the Artic was the Irish version of an idiot abroad but now we have the real thing.

But seriously, I hope that Tuberty (the man they could not hang) will save enough while he is over in the UK to buy a chin.

No seriously, Sure he can always get a wig and become Gail from Corries stunt double if things go badly.

I don't like him because I find him cringworthy and rubbish. This whole "it's jealousy" stuff? Grow up.

The Late Late Show has decent enough figures, but his radio show lost 91,000 listeners in the last year.

Sorry but I don't understand the way you worded that post hha (I'm not very bright ). Are his figures good?

Fine. You dont like him. Dont listen/watch his shows. And if you dont listen/watch him you wont need to be going onto forums moaning and complaining about the man. And if your not a follower of his shows I really dont see how you would be affected by Tub getting a job offer with the BBC.

Good riddance, although its terrible of us to inflict him on the UK audiences.

I think having to pay a licence fee every year gives us the right moan and complain. You could take your own advice - if you don't like this thread you don't have to read it.

He's employed by a public broadcaster, kept afloat by taxpayers. If people don't like him or enjoy his shows then they have every right to air those views.

About time FFS

I would say RTE are rubbing there hands now and wont have to fire him and are using this as an excuse hoping he WILL go.
He was not totally out straight on the radio today either he said he will be here tomor and the next the next day etc but it is just talk so there is something more to come out still
will leahy even said on his show wouldnt it be great.

OFF YA GO TUBS DAY DAY TWITTER THAT AND JFK

Cop

I can't tell yis all how delighted I am at the thought of Tubby going. He is one of the most irritating broadcasters I've ever seen or heard. Smug, arrogant, insincere, contriving every feeling and fad going.

Hopefully he'll feel "more loved" by the BBC, do a Wogan and stay for life and become nothing more in our popular imagination than some vague, forgotten nightmare that we keep deep down in the recesses of our subconscious.

Go away Tubby.

Oh FFS, here we go again. My TV licence fee rabble rabble. Yes because RTE's only source of income is the TV licence. Advertising and the likes would in no way contribute to a presenters wages. And tell me this. If you are so concerned about the licence fee; how much of it actually goes to Tubs? Seriously, if everyone in the country who pays the fee used that line for every single person on the RTE payroll, well then Im sorry mate but only a few cents of your licence fee is actually gong into Tubridys pockets.

yosser hughes

Seems like there is a few RTE employees on this thread.
I don't like Tubridy because he is affected,a beneficiary of nepotism like so many in RTE and no matter who was presenting the Late Late Show it would get good figures as people just watch it out of habit.
RTE is losing money and he is losing listeners and the Late Late will too.
If the BBC want another Henry Kelly good luck to them,but that's unfair on Henry.
