Ronnie Whelan has a book out

Announcement

I wish to advise you all that I have developed a serious crush on Mr. Tubridy since seeing him in this picture sporting his spectacles.

Going forward, I will not be making any negative comments about my new love Ryan is my very own Mr. D'arcy .

No deal there I'm afraid. Ray is 5ft nothing and I'm nearly 6ft tall :)

A direct quote from Ryan Tubridy:

Ryan Tubridy
This is the year I hope to make the show my own. With two seasons under my belt, I'm looking forward to getting the show on the road

http://www.rte.ie/tv/latelate/

A strange choice of words - as if he is admitting that he was just coasting along for the last two years?
Sounds like the recent criticism has hit home if he is declaring that he is finally ready to 'make the show his own'.

Meh... sounds more like another case of foot-in-mouth for Tubridy. He doesn't think about what he's saying, he might say that if he thought they were the best two seasons ever. And in fairness, other celebrities sometimes say similar nonsense, I could see Gay Byrne potentially saying something like that.

According to this morning's Irish Indo the line up includes

...Mahdi al-Harati, the Irish Libyan rebel leader who led the main rebel brigade into Tripoli, former footballer Ronnie Whelan, and veteran British TV personality Jimmy Saville of 'Jim'll Fix It' fame.

He gave the hebee jebee's to Louis Theroux alright.
But Tubridy is a much better class of interviewer, so he should be ok................................................................

I posted this in the last thread but will post it again, because it's just a perfect example of Tubridy interviewing.

lol, spot on

Skid

You can imagine the scene in the Libyan Rebel camp:


"Victory is almost complete - We have seized power and the capture of Gadaffi is imminent. But I must leave you now, I am a guest on The Late Late Show on Friday"

"But Commander Mahdi, did you not see Cuba Gooding Jnr last Friday?
How do the people of Ireland endure this every week? I know things were bad here, but it must be torture to have to watch that every week"

"Yes General, It is truely a harrowing experience for them, but it is much easier to follow the Boards.ie Late Late Show thread if you actually watch the cursed programme"

Hyzepher

I believe Jimmy Saville came in on the Queen Elizabeth Cruise ship this morning. If that's true then his segment will be recorded as it leaves at 9:30pm

You're correct Liz. Unfortunately, Ronnie's daughter has a condition called Myasthenia Gravis.

(MG) is an auto-immune disease which causes a breakdown between nerves and muscles and results in loss of effectiveness in the muscles of the arms, legs and eyes.

I absolutely loved watching "Jim will fix it" on Saturday afternoons as a young child but I was completely freaked out when I saw the Louis Theroux programme. Saville didn't come out of it looking too good IMO.

You are Ryan Tubridy? By day, plain and unassuming RTE radio celebrity but by night (well Fridays anyway), SuperDork? Cue the Southpark clip.

Do you like Brian Kennedy?
Do you like 'Ireland's Call ?'

Well tough, because Brian Kennedy and Paul Byrom will be singing 'Ireland's Call' on tonight's show.

casio4

I dont mind Brian Kennedy singing he's not bad but he annoys me when he talks

Will The Savile be smoking a cigar ?

Jesus did anyone see Tubers on just before the news. He looked like he was just told the show has lost 150k viewers!

The sooner the better. It's nothing personal as I'm sure he's a decent chap but he's terrible on the Late Late Show. No matter the quality of the guest he's sure to make a bollix of the interview.

He'll be up against the US X Factor on TV3 in a few weeks so expect the viewers to drop even further.

Gawd, only Tubridy could have a theme tune from the 50s sound more dated than the original...ugghh
