    The thought of Tubs, Pat and Gay doing Vaudeville is quite interesting...:D

    The Late Late Show's 50th anniversary celebrations, which will take place on Friday 1st of June in front of a very special audience with guests including Liam Neeson, Imelda May, Horslips, Tommy Tiernan and Daniel O'Donnell.

    I wonder wil Gay and Pat host the show together with Ryan or part of it of their own

    What, no Crystal Swing?!

    Not a single person watched the Late Late Show until young Derek high-kicked his way through the audience performing 'The Hucklebuck'.

    RTE, please rectify this grave error immediately. It's a disgrace, Joe!

    I only noticed how much Tubridy looks like Andy Bernard from The Office (when he's pulling one of his gormless expressions).

    Nothing hosted by Ryan Tubridy should ever be called a "celebration" or a "spectacular"... He'll probably be staging the show in a hospice..

    Give a guess which one of the three will be relying on cue cards to get through the show...

    Didn't feel too long in Gay's day...

    Its only feels too long because of the quality of the host that currently presents it.

    Quality of guests and topics too.

    In Byrne's time and to a lesser extent, with Kenny, the show wasn't afraid to tackle contraversial subjects and set agendas.

    It has now become a blasé, politically correct couple of hours of TV fearful of appearing to offend anyone.

    By the way,

    My response in post 6 to this question refers to Brendan Balfe who in his autobiography Radio Man describes being present in the studio audience for the first ever Late Late Show.

    Given his immense contribution to Irish broadcasting in his 46 years with RTÉ since then, I think it would be a fitting gesture to invite him on to the show this Friday.

    However, given the poor manner in which his forced retirement was conducted by RTÉ a couple of years ago, he could be forgiven for politely declining such an invitation.

    His unique voice is missed on Ireland's airwaves.

    http://www.independent.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/50-year-old-late-late-show-is-one-part-too-long-says-host-ryan-tubridy-3123526.html

    RYAN Tubridy thinks his own Late Late Show is too long.

    Speaking to the RTE Guide ahead of this Friday’s 50th anniversary celebrations, he criticised the Late, Late for being a four-part ‘‘sprawl’’.

    He told the magazine:

    ‘‘I don’t know anyone who could stay the course that long for a chat show.

    ‘’I’ll be honest, I reckon it’s too long by a part. It should be a three-part show, a lean mean fighting machine.’’

    On Friday Tubridy is joined by his predecessors Gay Byrne and Pat Kenny to celebrate their 50 years presiding over one of the world’s longest-running TV shows.

    Liam Neeson, Tommy Tiernan nd Daniel O’Donnell are among the guests on the special show.

    According to RTE, Friday night’s audience will comprise of “people who have made the Late Late Show the most successful and watched chat show in Ireland over the past 50 years”.

    The Late Late Show first went on air on Saturday, 6 July 1962, but was moved to Friday nights in September 1986.

    Ryan Tubridy, September 2011
    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/



    Ryan Tubridy, May 2012
    2011 was not a good year for me. If I was marking my own card it would have read 'could have done better'. I think I had a lapse in concentration. I can't identify one thing but it was a year that I'd like to have done again and done properly.

    http://www.rte.ie/ten/2012/0529/tubridy.html


    Talk is cheap, Mr. Tubridy. His concentration is not going to be helped by flying over to London for weeks at a time to present the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. I think he is a decent person in real life, but he has done poorly as host of the LLS. I can't see things improving next year, despite his comments above.

    The guys at FM 104 are really having it in now for Gay, Pat and Ryan. This video is definitely giving them the stick. Even though it is for a bit of craic.



    Imagine if they have said this stuff on the actual night. It would be a first for the Late Late Show.

    I would have stars from Tv3 S latest offering of reality Dublin Housewives on. I would love to hear a 20 minute chat of the brown haired girl giving birth; because you know nobody has ever given birth before.

    What about a 'spectacular disaster' or a 'celebration of nepotistic gombeenism'?

    The guest list is decent, but I was expecting; Twink, Dickie Rock, Louis Walsh, Boyzone, Jedward, Brendan O'Carrol etc. so thank **** I suppose.

    Jedward are certainties for this show as is Sinead O'Connor and probably Louis Walsh, Boyzone and every self publicising talentless gimp going.

    I'd say even Keith Barry will get another run out.

    LLS is just a publicity platform for talentless gimps.
