What next for Ryan Tubridy?

A few political documentaries maybe

He still has his radio show

I imagine him as a guest even on LLS or another Irish talk show

This is exactly the show that Tubridy wants RTE to pay for him....

It is a superb bit of satire that encapsulates the spirit of the free loading, self entitled and grossly overindulged Tubridy....

Idea for a program. Root Finder with Ryan Turbridy. In this series Ryan travels far and wide to talk to global superstars about their Irish Roots and what it means to them, how when growing up that their parents would oft remember the old crountry and sing songs and ballads. Uk rooters will include the likes of Steve Coogan (Sligo) the Gallagher brothers Mayo and Oasis) and Nathen Carter (Birmingham). From across the pond and based in some of the most expensive hotels the RTE crew will get to interview funny man Will Ferrel (Longford), Brendan O Carroll (Miami) and presidental duo Obama and Biden (Offaly and Mayo). In an twist of fate the presenter will bring the guest back to their roots and stand on that old conerstone which are the rimnents of their ancesters struggles and perseverance. These one hour specials to be aired at 930 Rte 2 Friday nights.

Retirement, sure he was in his 50s many years ago.

Surely he'll go down the podcast route and interview guests that way. It'll be a who's who of Irish celebrities, you know the ones, the ones doing the circuit. Podcasters interviewing podcasters and the like.

I would say he will run for the presidency once Micheal D Higgens term is up as Tubridy would just love all that pampering.

Much stranger things have happened. So many vapid, clueless non entities go for the presidency every time, he would fit right in in that field.

Well he is a man of the people after all.

A lower budget show would be more appropriate where he has to travel from Howth to Greystones on the DART and see what responses he gets from the public along the way.

I hope Tubridy doesn't sell out and replace graham northon

Like he tried on BBC R2 when Graham was in holidays a couple of times? The listeners hated him.

He always said he would love to live a quiet life in Connemara.

He might get the opportunity sooner than he thought he would.

jail for tax evasion & fraud Id hope !

As for what's next for Tubs, going to predict he will show us some tears this week. Just a few, or if not, definite signs of getting emotional.

He'll be well coached in how to act. And a few tears or being overcome with emotion might just be enough to get a certain amount of forgiveness from a lot of the public. To try to save his career, cos he is in a bad place at present, coming to the committee and acting Johnny Big Bollix ain't going to cut it.

Plus he'll offer to pay a large sum to charity. Maybe not the full 345k, but maybe 100k.

Thats the problem with us Irish we are too forgiving if i funnelled away 350K you can bet i'd get jail time tax evasion is just that a crime against us tax payers. Never liked the scrawny bollox lovely to see him squirming. Gay Byrnes money was robbed by his accountant so his lecgacy is not tarnished but Tuibs made sure to get all his money and his legacy is fraudulant statements to the irish public on taking a pay cut and funnelling it through bogus consultant fees. Karma

If Noel Kelly and Ryan Tubridy can get 500k a year from Bauer Media or the BBC or Gobal who been taking on quiet a few of the BBC presenters then more power to them.

He doesn't have the name value or gravitas to walk into a top job in the UK so will he be willing to start somewhere on a middle rung of UK talent who won't want him there.

More than like he will end up one of the Bauer stations in Ireland making very good money but nowhere near what he was making at the national broadcaster.

Or maybe he will go off and write another JFK book and try and break America and take Donie's spot at CNN.

Death Notices on Tipp FM?

There's a couple of Tipp people on the committees he'd love to announce.
