Think she was a bit excited at the start

I totally disagree. Best interview all evening. The other two were just boring as dishwater but at least BOD was a great Rugby player I think the second one lived in some boring dreamland of his but this one is very interesting and insightful. Wish she had of been at Naas Court a few years ago.

Rea was my favorite

Say Your Number

Pretty sure this is the only thing I've seen Rea in.

That AE Mak was good, catchy tune. Up there with the best Thomas has had on.

Did she not marry

Actually she married but it broke up and she never met anyone else.
Nope she had no time for all that rubbish.

That interview link below. It was more mad Tommy than reflective Tommy.

Thanks a million!

I think that was the first music act I got all the way through this season.

Once you got through the first verse the rest was pretty much all the same

All public knowledge I would say.

Once she’s retired she can probably say what she wants. Would like to have heard longer with her.

Imagine in some alternate reality she did but Phil Lennet in Jail. Maybe he would have wrote great songs while in it .....

Maybe, he would have a single and an album called "Jailbreak"

I think she said she was and that they separated.

Superb show. Makes Saturday night a pleasure.

A bit of Love/Hate afterwards is no harm either Frano and Nidgey not getting along...

Have to say this show is becoming my favourite show on a Saturday night. I think the whole format works really well and Tommy is a great interviewer. You never know what sort of thoughts are going through his head before he starts asking particular questions. Also hats off to the researchers/producers for coming up with some really interesting and very different guests.

Definitely the best show for me and something I’d look forward to every week. I hope they don’t take it too far down the route of Hello Magazine type of guest that the Late Late does, but it did redeem itself last night after in fairness.

I agree also, I look forward to it every sat night.

Only negative is it's wwayyy too short!

Never watched this show before, it was very good i have to say.

Stephen Rea has a fine head of hair for a man of 74, probably not the easiest guest to interview and Tommy did well to draw him out as much as he did.

Would have been interesting if he asked the judge more about what happened when that scumbag Smith appeared before her.

Yeah..

This is what kind of struck me last night..

Is it going to just turn into the TV show the b list celebs go onto to have a "genuine", "honest", "touching" interview with Tommy..

The odd guest is starting to come across as being a bit contrived..

Like it's not full on "tell me about the cancer" late late, but I think it's maybe almost reached a point where it's kind of a delicate balance.. Hopefully they'll stop it before it gets trite..

Hmob

Is it fixed or does he not know the guest list

He should do an interview swap with Tubs. Tubs interviews him on The TT show and vice versa! Shake it up a bit.

I just watched the interview with Stephen Rea. It's time. It's time to banish the Ryan Tubridy and Pat Kenny era of The Late Late Show, and give the show back to somebody who represents what it is to be Irish - Funny, sincere, and a troubled man himself (therefore genuinely empathetic). Please somebody, for the love of God, move Tubridy to children's TV and give the show to an entertainer.

Agree. It'll never happen though. The late late is tubs gig until such time as he decides different. He's one of the sacred cows as is joe Duffy

He would never do the late Late. What makes the show so neat is fact it's edited really tightly.

Tubridy talks too much on the LLS without saying anything at all. He just seems so insincere.

The worst are the music shows where he sits in asking stupid questions, he's had potentially great shows where he should let them play non stop for half an hour, but instead he will ask stupid questions about lockdown and things that have a "great sense if Irishness". He's a lightweight.

Funniest was when they had Glen Hansard and lots of other musicians for that Xmas busk, they finished up with a group song but took them a while to get set up so Tubs had air to fill and awkwardly went back to remainder of guests and just turned to one of them and said " I'll talk to you again how are you getting on" Or something to that effect.

Came across as so insincere like he was done with them and wasn't able to think on his feet and everything beforehand was phoney

True and I'm a big "Tommy" fan myself.
But it's only fair to realise that Tommy's show is prerecorded and heavily edited.
A lot of soccer games, are better on "Match of the Day" than "live".

The staged stories and faux bon homie (which I enjoy too, but I know what I am watching) on Graham Norton might be for you?

Some of the laughs I have had watching Tommy's show have been very special so have to disagree. Plenty of everything on it.
