Surprised Snoop Dogg isn't on tonight's show, he had more exposure than the actual competitors. 😁

€13 billion the country has it's hands on.

Wouldn't that build a few cancer services?

I never remember a year with such an amount of Northern Lights at our latitude and our side of the globe.

It would but given past performance they'd struggle to build one children's hospital🙈

Rory and PK clicked well. There is a difference, I find, in Northern Ireland humour. Going back to NI lads I knew in college 30 years ago.

”when you play Ireland,you play all of us”….they left out the end bit “and you’ll still beat us”

Cool Philter 82 now.

it’s just struck me that Paddy wears exactly the same clothes every Friday night

Welsh Megaman

Didn't know Brian Cox and Sir Ian McKellen were going to be on.

Ceola excellent name for a musician's daughter.

John is failing a bit, voice a bit frailer. In early 80s too.

Last Dub standing, fair play John.

Welsh Megaman

Haven't been to Dublin for a while, does the Luke Kelly statue depict him with no pants?

castletownman

I'd say the Dubliners had some pints during their hayday.

All about tik tok, skinny lates and veganism nowadays.

Some story from John 😂

Who Ate The Cat

The lad even stole one of Luke's shirts!!

Welsh Megaman

Worst Brian Blessed lookalike contest ever.

jojofizzio

these guys look like they could have spent some time in a UK jail in the 70s

Who Ate The Cat

Dubliners with mullets😅

castletownman

Haha, I actually had pints with the Gallagher lad doing the Luke Kelly bit in Skib about 15 years ago. Random memory.

Feel this strange urge to go and buy some briquettes now.

Fair play to them, keeping the old tunes alive in style.

Gay Byrne would fit 2 PK Late Lates in 1 show.

I remember Rob and Kirk from Metallica performing The Wild Rover at Slane, could have just been a weird fever dream I had.

I love that version for Luke's hair.

Poor enough season opening show.

Glad people found the thread.

Can I turn back on notifications?

The old thread moved over to page 207.

When they fix the threads bug, this thread can be merged to main thread.

Welsh Megaman

Enjoyed that Dubliners medley. 🙂

And now Bruce is going all Pete Seeger on us on BBC Four. 😌

Till next week folks, Nos da!

AMKC

That was a great first show back. He nailed it. I enjoyed it all bar maybe the rap.

lumphammer2

It was a very poor show for an opener ….. for those not big into the Olympics and golf there was very little ….. plus that opening segment was pure infantile ….. made Tubridy look serious!!! ….

It’s an awful show.

iffandonlyif

Just got around to watching it. I was very enthusiastic after his first episode last year but he doesn’t really seem to be progressing. There’s a Tubridy-like awkwardness to the interviews and I feel very on edge watching him trying so hard.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122616685#Comment_122616685

I feel exactly the same …. the first few episodes last year were quite good ….. then it slipped back into Tubridy-like stupidity …. the opening 5 minutes or so last night was infantile …. I think this show needs a serious …. that being the operative word!! …. makeover …. I think we have had more than enough airhead infantility at this stage …. so much so that we (almost) miss Pat Kenny !!!!!!!

Atlantic Dawn

Snow Patrol are on this Friday, I believe that segment is being pre-recorded that afternoon.

• Four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan will speak to Patrick Kielty on Friday night about her new film The Outrun, which is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name by Amy Liptrot.
• Bundee Aki became an Irish citizen this week and the New Zealand-born Irish rugby player will speak of the honour it has been for him to become a proud Irish citizen.
• Dating Naked UK is Rylan Clarke’s new Paramount+ series and he will be in the studio to bear all.
• Finally, Snow Patrol members Gary, Nathan and Johnny will speak about their long awaited first album since 2018, The Forest is the Path, before performing a new song from the album and a megahit.

Posting on this thread again, as the old one is broken! Thought it would have been resolved by now.

It is Thursday, so the site might get updates applied tonight.

I won’t be watching, but it’s a good lineup. Probably Ireland’s second most-prominent actor, one of Ireland’s biggest bands, a rugby international whose recent Irish citizenship will hopefully provide the opportunity for a discussion of identity, and a charismatic UK entertainer. I’ve said before that, love it or loathe it, this is the quality of lineup that the Late Late Show can realistically aspire to.

lumphammer2

Just saw the lineup for tomorrow ….. woeful …. this show is getting worse and worse …. who cares about some smutty dating show from the UK ….. why oh why do we have to put up with this drivel ?? …. who wants this lightweight uninterestingd drivel ?? …. and I though Tubridy was bad !!!! …..

riddles

is there any market for a show like this anymore?

I was thinking about this the other day.

The fact is, we now live in an age where all films and tv programmes are available all the time, everywhere - the LLS is simply not central to the culture anymore like it used to be.

When was the last time you heard a conversation in the office along the lines of ‘Oh my God, did you see so-and-so on the Late Late on Friday’?

Using boards.ie to illustrate my point - say, ten/fifteen years ago, a single non-Toy Show episode would generate about 25 pages in this forum - nowadays, there are barely enough posts to fill three or four pages.

The LLS now exists as simply a show that is on RTE One on a Friday night, it doesn’t create any talking points anymore…except on this thread. 😁

Toy Show threads used to be absolutely breathless, every time you'd refresh there would be at least ten new replies, impossible to keep up with, now it has as much posts as average 2015 LLS thread, with sometimes minutes without replies.
