Ryan Tubridy to step down from Late Late role when season ends

What program are we talking about k?

Thats what I need to know?

Aaah ok. Anyway best not drag this thread off topic.

My fault.

If Claire Byrne got the LLS her first programme would be as follows:

1 Corona Virus: If it returns what lessons have we learned? Our guests include Dr .....

2 Brexit: We talk to traders on the border. How does it affect their livelihoods?

3 This is the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, We relive those momentous days with these reporters who were on the inside.

4 Our standard of living is falling. We have a special guest to tell us what she did to survive these terrible times.

5 We talk to a doctor about Depression. How can we fight this terrible condition?

6 Social Media. How old should your child be when they get their first mobile. We talk to a clinical psychologist.

7 Gardening tips We'll have Dermot Gavin in to give us tips about what to do around the garden.

6 Finally Surviving Divorce. 'Mary' tells us her story.

You got it in one actually. She certainly doesn’t have the depth of cultural knowledge to ask decent questions of celebs. Ordinarily I’d say so what if she’s out of touch. She’s a mum with kids and is keeping her career and family ticking along so it doesn’t leave much time for clubbing at the weekends or going to the trendy gigs around town. Even worse being based in Laois you’re on the small venue gig circuit all of us outside the bigger towns and cities are familiar with. However, if you have the interest and a band or actor is coming up in the show you’ll of course swat up on them and listen to their music and watch a few movies. This isn’t CB thought. She just hasn’t the interest to start with. She seems very conservative and unimaginative and actually from listening to her show in the morning for a good while, I can’t tell you the slightest bit about the woman outside of the interviews she does. anything cultural or fun she shoots down and says she can’t be getting involved with. I mean, besides current affairs, what’s she actually interested in? I don’t know. Anyone here have an idea?

Don't forget the usual suspects to talk to us about what to put in what bin, what supplements to take, and all we need to know about wills and probate.

Putting Claire Byrne and Pat Kenny in the same league is a crime against humanity. She was barely competent on Newstalk. Don't watch RTE,but I presume it's a list of agreed questions.

Didn't McRedmond spend most of his tenure at TV3 criticising RTE and moaning about the unfair advantage RTE had over TV3 due to RTE having the license fee plus advertising. I doubt their would be much gra for McRedmond in RTE.

On topic I can't believe Tubs has been at the helm for 14 years. Hook is correct that it's a poisoned chalice for whoever takes over. There's no-one that can recover the viewers that Tubs lost and the new host will have the ignominy of having "killed the Late Late".

All they seem to know how to do is misery. Turbridy,Joe,Darcy,Byrne,The Late Show. One of the many reasons I never consider turning it on.

There isn't a snowballs chance in hell the next presenter will be male. Absolutely none.

Do you think that's a good or bad thing ?

Personally I don't care if it's male or female as long as they give us a good show.

What is it with her? I just don't get it.

Are they going for the American style of pretty presenter regardless of talent.
