PK@rte.ie (again). The All New (Patrick Kielty) Late Late Show Thread

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

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

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

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

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

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

it’s over??I was actually starting to enjoy it there😞

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.

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

It’s an awful show.

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 !!!!!!!

• 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.

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 !!!! …..

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. 😁

No …. I don't know who this show is even aimed at ….. it is fast becoming a caricature ….. the concentration on lightweight airhead stuff needs to go and it is a pity Claire Byrne didn't get it ….. she would have taken the show in a different direction …. what we saw last week made Tubridy look serious …. it is time to make this show more serious and more discussion orientated …. not politics all the time but other issues surely ….. and educational …. the age of the celeb is gone and unless someone finds a way to bring Elvis back from the dead I don't see any future in celeb focused shows these days ….

..

Was not around for week 1 - was it any good. Here for the night with a red in the air.

Jaysus - very bad , needs a new writer , also IO know we hate Trump in Ireland , but you cant joke about a man who actaully had 2 assassination attacks.

saorise goin to say something controversial 😋

I know Hollywood is a bit like this - but has her career gone sideways ? always a new lead woman in Hollywood ?

Well,

True. But if you must.... You should at least be funny.

Saoirse Ronan reminds me of Eamonn deValera.... Both New Yorkers with fake Irish accents.

"If I go in there, I'll burn." 😁

Jaysus, the ideas bin for new shows has gone dry 😂
