    I know that depression and suicide are both extremely serious issues and unfortunately, are all too prevalant in Ireland at the moment but it feels that Tubs is covering very depressing topics week in week out. Where has the light entertainment gone?

    Surely it would be good for people to be distracted from their problems for a while.

    Truth be told, we Irish like the misery.

    Tubridy IMO is a one trick pony- asks a few questions and gets a few answers. It comes across what he thinks of the person he's interviewing. Michael Parkinson and GAY Byrne could interview 100 celebs and you wouldnt know who they disliked. Tubs cant hide it. He's up his own arse.

    You obviously didn't see Gay interview Gerry Adams in '94 then...

    You know, I've realized that all of us actually really like Tubridy ;) and will be terribly sad to see him go ;) so there is no need need for the BBC to change their minds or anything... :eek:

    I remember that interview back in 1994 and there was a huge amount of speculation ahead of it as to whether Gaybo would shake hands with Adams or not. Can’t remember if he did or not but I suspect that he didn’t.

    I agree with you that sometimes Gaybo couldn’t hide his feelings, be they good or bad. For example: he had a soft spot for Sinead O’Connor and he always supported her even when it was not a popular thing to do. Remember when she tore up the picture of the pope and refused sing the American national anthem?

    I used to have huge difficulties with Gaybo, I thought that he was a bit cocky but I have to concede that he has a rare gift; he has a great way of getting people to open up and talk about themselves.

    I have recently been watching some of his “Meaning of life programmes” and it was a real pleasure to watch him at work. I have a little interest in GAA but I’m not fanatical but I was glued to Gaybo’s interview with Brian Cody. Anyone that has ever seen Brian Cody on television will testify to the fact that he is a very modest man but he is also a man of few words. However, Gaybo managed to pull off a very good interview with him.

    I always feel a presenter has done a good job if they get me to watch and enjoy something that I normally wouldn’t be that interested in.

    Great, as if Tubridy wasn't insufferable enough as it is, now the Beeb are hiring him he won't be able to get his head through the doors at Montrose :rolleyes:
    proof in his mind that the 'begrudgers' are wrong about him.

    Whoever hired him in the BBC either hasn't been taking note of the criticisms that've been leveled at him in the papers, here and on Twitter or they don't care because the LLS ratings are high and they hope he'll replicate that over there.

    I think Tubs is in for a nasty surprise if he thinks his schmoozing and cruising style (as Liam Fay called it in the Independent) will take him very far over there. At least not for where he probably thinks he's now headed-a TV show on the BBC.
    BUT, then again look at how the likes of Val Doonigan and Henry Kelly made careers for themselves over there so who knows. Must be the accent wot does it for them :rolleyes:

    Oh you knew with Gay alright who he liked or disliked. As someone already said remember the Gerry Adams interview or the Annie Murphy one? And of course it was also obvious when he loved an interviewee too - used to nearly throw up as he tried to tongue that half wit Sinead O Connor every time she was on. :rolleyes:

    I've got myself fired from jobs in my own time. It's one sure way to break a contract. I think little Ryan is doing exactly that.

    I wish, I never tire of listening to Ming, he is a great character!

    I wonder could Ming fix it for me to have a bag of turf, I love the smell of turf!

    Josh Groban on the double tonight, he's on the LLS and on Graham Norton.

    It'll be interesting to compare the two interviews, albeit Graham Norton has a slight advantage in that his is recorded and edited.


    Eamon Andrews, Terry Wogan, Graham Norton,Des Lynam, Henry Kelly, Craig Doyle, Dara O'Brian, loads of others, and now Ryan Tubridy.

    Who's next for the BBC - Brendan O'Connor?

    I think the suicide discussion is a good thing, judging by the feedback on his show this morning (if they were genuine that is). A sad story has always been part and parcel of the show. I'm just glad they've stopped wittering on about the R word, a while back the whole show revolved around it.
