The Late Late Show - Friday 6th November

Pelvis Parsley

This is becoming a habit :eek:

Good evening everyone. Covid and pontification tonight, from the "match fit" boyman who took the week off to watch an election that isn't going to be over for a month.

With the year that we've had so far, and Christmas looming ever closer, this week's 'Late Late Show' will see businesses from around the country feature as part of their "Taking Care of Business" special. Dedicated to promoting various sectors who have had to close their doors and adapt accordingly to survive, Irish companies will be showcasing their wares and demonstrating their resourcefulness for all to see.

I see freebies for Tubridy here.

Our pal Niall Horan will be speaking to Ryan about how the music industry has been affected by shutdowns, and what measures are being taken to keep it afloat.

Great.

Comedian and TV presenter Deirdre O'Kane will discuss changes in the comedy scene, and new challenges she and other Irish entertainers are facing. She also has a new TV series starting on RTE One this weekend, 'Deirdre O'Kane Talks Funny'.

Well, she has to be funny at something, still would though.

There will also be a number of experts joining Ryan, from Roisin Murphy, to Diarmuid Gavin, Anna Geary, and Kevin Dundon, who will be showcasing some of their favourite businesses from the worlds of outdoor and gardening, sports and fitness, food and beverages, and homeware.

Great to see new faces on the show, in fairness...

Must remember to claw out my eyes before half nine tonight..

Very poor, not least because the DLB will relish the opportunity to come across all pious and such.

We're well and truly into the pre-Toy Show "giving even less of a fúck than usual" time of year.

All credit to Niall Horan getting to where he is but is he really the best person/multi-millionaire to be putting forward to represent those in the entertainment industry who are really suffering because of COVID restrictions!? Maybe give a few new up and coming acts some exposure instead?

Hasn't been great for 20 years, you shouldn't be surprised anymore.

Just think, he's backstage right now practicing his Buy Irish lecture.


Can't wait!

While I like Nial Horan I thought that the recent concert he had to make money for his band and roadies should have come from his own pocket. instead he asked his fans to cough up easy money he can well afford to look after them himself.

She is fierce annoying. There's a touch of Donal Skehan about her.

Watching the ads there in the news, respect to whoever in the Advertising Agency correctly thought that a Littlewoods GAA advert would be improved by adding Big Time by Rudi to it

Should have turned up the volume, though

What’s the chances of the opening speech being a Trump bashing segment?

Obviously nothing is going to put me in bad form this evening, as long as those voting trends carry on, but it really sickens me to see this Xfactor boyband nonsense representing any type of musician anywhere.

Pah. They don't know they're born

Fair enough showcasing Irish products, Gaybo did an annual on this.

This Friday, as Ireland heads into week three of level five lockdown restrictions, The Late Late Show will be dedicated to promoting Irish businesses across various sectors who have had to close their doors and adapt accordingly to survive.

It's good and I like it, although I feel sorry for the local competitors of the companies that get a free ad on the most watched program in the country.

Is this QVC ?

That pool table reminds me of the RTE News report about the Shebeens being raided by the Guards.


Terrible places, apparently. Pool Tables, Cheap Beer, Comfortable Seats, No closing times.


My PMs are open if anyone has the addresses of any of these dreadful places.

Of course 80-odd% of online shopping will be from foreign companies.

Especially when so many SME industries in Ireland were slow to adapt to online commerce.
