If they had to meet you in the flesh you wouldn't be interviewing them in the first place ryan so it's really a moot point.

Even pre-Covid, big names like Dolly Parton and Tom Jones had stopped visiting The Late Late Show many years ago.
So blaming Covid for them having to do Zoom interviews is a false point he's making.

Thats why it died as a show, as its only filled with Irish z-listers and RTE staff. Plus more misery.

"For years I thought Al Fresco was a crooner"

Haven't heard that joke in a few weeks.

To Iceland?

He transcends generations, but the only reason we have him on both of our shows today is because he doesn't have to transcend the Irish Sea.

If that 20mins of broadcasting was any lighter and inconsequential it would evaporate.

There is a skill to being able to talk for that long and also press the right buttons at the right time and such output is so mild and mikly that it will never upset anyone and maybe people don't want to be challenged or engaged too much at this time of the morning but at the same time it's just such absolute nonsense and waffle that costs so so so so much money it's hard to believe that it's value for money.

It's just reading out text messages and talking about movies that almost nobody has seen, like really what is this crap? And that's the better part of the show for me! It gets worse when it takes 20mins to 'interview' someone who wrote a book / has a terminal illness for the rest of the show. The lack of effort and creativity is what gets me more so than the poor content as content could be a matter of taste and maybe some people like that type of thing, but just not trying and being happy to rinse rte for sick money month in month out with no effort or attempt to provide value for money put forth just annoys me.

RTE Radio 1 website describes the show as, "..a fast paced entertaining and informative sixty minutes of morning radio".

Of course it will be.

You really think Tubs will be able to come up with new questions?

Ryan has wiki open

It's a shyte interview. Reeling off scripted questions.

sligojoek

Just came on to say, they'll have nothing to talk about tonight.

I see others got there before me.

generalgerry

He's going to "be on" the late late show tonight. I presume that they are green screening him in or something?

Odyssey 2005

How much did you pay for you're ½dozen tickets Ryan ?

Earlier did I correctly hear Ryan say "when I went to COLLECT the papers... I mean BUY them...."

PieOhMy

Who did ryan say was his godfather?

Odyssey 2005

Very cheap advertising for a good friend

Did she thank the producer for ringing her

I'm not fond of his broadcasting style but will say this much about Tubridy, it sounds like be gets along well with the production team. That's a good insight into his personality, I'd reckon he's easy to get along with. OK, not the best broadcaster, but a nice guy.

Pelvis Parsley

The Tubridy approach to broadcasting. He only gets enthused when there's a death or a freebie.

(23rd of April)

Tubridy revealed he does not actually swim in the sea when he goes walking by it in the morning. He had a bit of discussion about facilities opening their facilities for people who want to go to the jacks.

He again mentioned a film called ‘The Sound of Metal’

The plot is about a drummer who lost his hearing.
However, a contributor to the show pointed out the inaccuracies of the film.

A famous 80 year old Jones - first name Tom was interviewed.
I believe he is Welsh. New album out.’Surrounded by time’. (His 42nd album!)

Tom revealed a lovely bit of info that Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains told him that that ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was based on an Irish Trad song. Jones also had a few Beatles stories and Elvis stories. One involving Elvis singing to him in the shower!

Tubridy definitely knows his Tom Jones stuff, well researched. Mr Jones was in fine form.

The Ben Quiz was more successful than the previous week. The contestant (Aoife) was from Galway going for a prize for a weekend away in a place in Galway. (Tubridy had great fun with the innuendos it was good humoured)

A good interview with Tom Jones who is of course showbiz royalty.

Still sexy after all these years.

This is him in his prime - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAVpqOG-HDY

That paddy maloney story about heartbreak hotel ripping off an Irish trad lick is BS

How he stayed so healthy is what I don't understand. With the rock and roll lifestyle etc.
He spoke about it in his interview. Never smoked. Maybe that is the key? Never went too far down the slippery slope.

If you did not know who he was in the interview you would not say he was 80.

I always think that part of the reason Jones is such a common surname is because Tom made sure to do his bit to stop population decline

Reminds me of a project a few of us worked on several years ago. Was to take 8 months. Project leader hated us, we hated her. A few of us didn't get on too well either in the team.

When we were given the project I realised that I had worked on the exact same one for the exact client about 18 months previously. So we had literally 80-85% of the work done. In other words the 8 months was a doss. We all realised we were on the pigs back for the few months financially so we buried the hatchet, covered for each other and got on great for 8 months.

Once finished it was back to normal, we kept on hating/disliking/ignoring each other.

RTE is the same. They all realise they are in a piss easy job with very short hours, excellent pay and benefits and little to no real targets or pressure to achieve them. The RTS is paint by numbers; get a few people on with long term illnesses or recent bereavements during the week, spend an hour marking out 'interesting' stories for Tubs to pontificate over in the tabloids, and 90% of the show is done.

No wonder they all get on so well, there's no pressure and no repercussions for throwing out dross week after week, month after month.

Agreed..

Comes across as a decent and pleasant and engaging type person..

NIMAN

Yeah to be fair, he was up here in Donegal couple of years ago on one of his Atlantic Way roadshow things, when he did his show from the roadcaster.

After the live show was off air, he was great with all the mum's and kids. Spent loads of time chatting and getting photos taken, and OH said he was very nice and ever since tends to not let me say a bad word about him!

So I have no doubt he is a nice guy.

Yep. He’s very upbeat type person.

Has a real good nature about him..

So, I kinda’ feel bad when slating him as a broadcaster/interviewer..

He has talent, just something missing for me. Quite fluent and articulate and interested. He just seems to always go overboard on some stuff!

archfi

I have heard from quite a few people I know that have met him that he's a very nice chap IRL.
That doesn't negate the frequent head scratching that occurs when listening to his output though!

PS Alan Partidge's magazine show 'This Time with Alan Patridge' is back on our screens next Friday on BBC1...at 9.30pm...symetrical
PPS I'm not a new caller btw
