You Should Have Left

Awful film

Awful interview

Awful host

Blud

"Thanks man"

Kevin Bacon clearly forgot Ryan's name.

Ryan, if you can survive COVID, then I can survive COVID. So f**k off with your scaremongering.

Welsh Megaman

"Ryan, I'm a big fan of Irish music...especially Crystal Swing."

Next week there’ll be a scrolling notice on the bottom of the screen with the fines for covid rule breaking, just in case they haven’t hammered this covid ****e into us enough.... urgh

He was posting on the boards thread - so only listening about 35 %

Irish music is gick!

Skid X

For balance, can we hear from some of the tens of thousands of people who had Covid and never noticed it?

Kathleen tell Ryan that poor gay would be turning in his grave at how sh1t the late late has become.

She cut in and answered a load of questions he was going to ask.

The GB annual memorial slot. We’ll have a recital of poetry to round it off, be better if they put together a montage of a few of his best moments and showed us that to remember him

She's a lovely lady. A welcome guest.

I'm gone over to Graham Norton on BBC1 now but my head is still spinning from what must be a candidate for the worst LLS of all time, Huberman laughing inanely at absolutely feckin nothing, that celebrity cake segment, the chunky chick in the feathers, Dara O'Brien in the most pointless, silly and unfunny segment since the last silly and unfunny segment RTE put on.

To think this was once a revolutionary show, vital, thought-provoking, sometimes causing consternation but always interesting.

Is there anybody in RTE that can see that it's a dead thing. Tubridy has basically butt-f***ed the show to death. It's not working but it keeps on chugging along. It's now a national embarrassment.

Doctors room ghost

If gay Byrne was around these days there’s no chance he’d be entertaining the idea of that fcukin cake nonsense.
He wouldn’t be long with telling them to fcuk right off

jetfiremuck

Lets not forget that RTE milked until the tit was purple . We got it for breakfast dinner and tea ffs

Azatadine

I still can't get over that debacle of a segment about the cakes.....I think even the stick insect himself became aware that it was bad during the segment.

Atlantic Dawn

I don't think I'd like the limelight of media covering a family members funeral, would be hard to grieve.

Joe Duffy would love "every gurgle, every cough" and what it meant in terms of approaching death.

generalgerry

It should be obligatory that get a punch in the head every time he uses the word "Gorgeous" in reference to anything other than a good looking woman.

sudzs

If I'm gurgling, ramp up the morphine.

Skid X

I went to Gay's one man show a few years ago, I think I was the youngest person there

It was great, he told some very funny stories - it went on for hours

Kathleen came on halfway through it and played the harp and read poetry. Which was nice.

Atlantic Dawn

Did RTE have ads on during the funeral?

jetfiremuck

Can we talk about the schitt show the late ;late has become. ffs

Gay Byrne helped modernise Ireland and loosen the grip of a certain institution.

I always remember the heated debated on his show.

Great entertainment.

generalgerry

Jaysus she's very sharp for 85 years old. Fair play to her.

Better than I am drinking the vodka neat all the same.

Not surprising that grief would bring her health down. Happened me rapidly after my mother died.

I was thinking earlier that you can see cracks forming in his facade like he knows the jig is up. Jedward were like Peter Ustinov compared to tonight's lineup.

You can't beat the olde school Gaybo

When Tubridy first took over I couldn't stick him cos he was so uptight and I felt so much of the interview format was forced and scripted and lacking "flow" compared to the "at ease" style that Gaybo and Parkinson et al deployed to devastating effect back in the day.

Fast forward to now and he's STILL uptight, stilted, forced etc. I can't believe he hasn't settled into it after all these years.

Gay was ahead of the curve

He wrote this article in the RTV Guide in March 1963

I have no idea why this is so funny

Imagine tubs interviewing someone like Oliver Reed. He’d get a black eye.

Atlantic Dawn

I can imagine how Gay would have tackled Covid on the show, he would have hit it head on explaining idiotic habits give you it, his old debates were gold...

You have to like people to be a success doing this

I don't think Ryan does

Was he perfect? No. He could be patronising, biased, overbearing, and all the rest of it. He had some bad shows too.

But even his worst show was better than Tubridy's best. Because he had a head on his shoulders, didn't need a cue card, could read a guest and an audience, and had the knack. RTE at the time, a more sensible institution than today, recognised this, and gave him the latitude he needed.

Kathleen is in TV since it started in this country, as gracious a lady as I'm sure she is, she must be gritting her teeth at what this spineless misery merchant is at in the studio her husband dominated for so long.
