Tubridy was particularly annoying in that segment. Matt Cooper asked about the lack of interactivity between the guests and wondering did Tubridy actually 'enjoy' doing the LLS. He also alluded to the lack of spontaneity for a 'live' show which Tubridy answered quite poorly I thought.

I think Matt must read the LLS thread, some of the angles he was taking were straight out of the bitter mouths of Boards.ie members.

He also played the very funny Pat Kenny / Jimmy Carr / Austrian holiday clip. Tubridy still has to have his one funny, spontaneous moment on the show.

Why would Tubridy go and do an interview on a rival radio station? Doesn't make sense to me? Would RTE have to ok it first? Were the questions only based on The Late Late Show?

He was on promoting the late late 50th anniversary show on Fri. Its the second time Matt has had him on and I have to say he was very condescending, smarmy, pompus little git. He was saying that gay was presenting it for 13 yrs before he got some controversial stand out interviews, eg padraig flynn, Annie Murphy etc, and he is only 3yrs into it. Then said sinead o Connor was coming back for one night only to sing on show, she was on with ray D'Arcy this morning announcing her sabbatical is over!! Although I know its hard to keep up with her!

- Everybody thinks that all the shows Gay Byrne did were great, but this is just nostalgia
- Gay was waiting 25 years before the memorable Padraig Flynn interview. Ryan is only in the job for 3 years.
- There are far more channels now, so there is much more competition.
- The Late Late Show is too long.
- The Late Late Show is one of the few LIVE chat show still on air.
- It's hard to get the guests.
- The show is not edited.

So in short, coincidentally similar to his radio show, the reason that the show is not very interesting is NOTHING to do with Tubridy himself..

There were hundreds of stand out interviews in Gaybo's time going back to the very start, Peter (O')Sellers, Spike Milligan, John Cleese, that drunkan scottish psychiatrist, Oliver Reed, Ted Walsh, Peter Ustinov, Big Jack, Padraig Brogan, Terry Keane, Bishop Casey's mistress, Dermot Morgan, Dylan Moran, Gerry Adams and hundreds if not thousands more.

Tubridy is talking out his ar*e if he says Gaybo didn't get a standout interview for decades, Gaybo had at least one standout interview a week and sometimes two or three per show.

Article in yesterday's Herald said that tubridy's girlfriend Aoibhinn is 27 years of age, would have thought she is older, seems to be around a long time. Tubridy is the Peter Pan of Irish tv, he will be forever 37. Don't know what their game is.

This will be his 5th week off from RTE this year. I think that he has a 10 week contract with Auntie + he is going on holiday to the US during the summer, so he probably will have 16 weeks off from RTE in total this year.

Only after hearing the Today FM interview now. The highlight of his three years in charge of the LLS was an interview with a 7 year old freak from Roscommon. Says it all really! As for the rest of it, the thought that he might be sacked from presenting the show doesn't seem to enter his head. He actually believes that he is doing a good job.
