The car crash that was Tubridy Tonight

shepthedog

Anyone else catch tonights show?? It was a nightmare for Tubridy from beginning to end.. Just when people were praising him for loosening up, he has a shocker..

To kick it all off he has David Guest as his first guest.. It was hard to fathom whether he was just high or a total nutball but he kicked off on subjects such as oral sex, herpes and albinos..

Next up were those champions of South Dublin "Dan and Becs" doing everything they could to reinforce the notion of the morons from D4, running around like Ross O'Carroll Kelly clones.. Even Ryan was having difficulty distinguishing them from their on screen personas..

To cap it all off, the quiz question he asked was who won the award for Best Actress in the Musical Chicago.. Answer was Renee Zellwegger which the first caller answered correctly but he then rephrased the question as who won best supporting actress. He told the first caller that her answer of Renee Zellwegger was correct then said OH NO sorry sorry its actually wrong and went to a second caller and awarded her the prize for the incorrect answer :eek:

All in all interesting viewing.. You couldnt help feeling sorry for him as mostly it was beyond his control..

Watching David Guest was excruciating, and I was only glancing. The quiz thing was a bit of a joke alright.

JohnnyStones

David "the freak" Gest, and BB Baskin(whatever her name is)with guests like that your just asking for a bad show!:o

"garbage in garbage out" :cool: :cool:

Ryan "good face for radio" Tubirdy GET LOST :mad: :mad: :mad:

I saw a few minutes of the show, just after he'd finished with dan and becks and he went into the audience to do a quiz with a random person. Everybody in the audience won a tshirt

2 or 3 minutes of painful viewing

Yeah, it was very shít, tonight, which is a shame as I thought it was quite good last week. I know most people despise the man, but I presonally have no problem with him. I'd watch him over My. Kenny any day of the week, at least.

Huh? Zellweger was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role and lost - so he was correct and the viewer was indeed wrong!

Additionally, you're wrong about the Supporting Actress category - two people were nominated: Queen Latifah (who lost) and Catherine Zeta-Jones who won and who, I presume, was the answer given by the second contestant.

So maybe badly phrased originally, but certainly not wrong.

sorry my apologies but the question was asked incorrectly..

Oh that I certainly believe by the sounds of it. Really shows how shoddy RTE chat shows can be. How much did we pay for him anyway? Cowboys, Ted!

that's depressing;where do they get these people to present these shows ? there has to be somebody with a bit of talent in RTE:eek: :eek: ,and don't get me started on Gerry "wants to be a lady" Ryan.

Not much chance of that, its beating the Late Late in the ratings the last few eps, best hope is if Tub moves onto late late!

I'm confused. It's a sh*t show, hosted by a sh*t presenter - yet, you all still watch it, and complain when it's sh*t. Are you all just plain stupid or something?

I think I would have kept David Gest for the Halloween special.

The first caller should raise a stink, if she answered the question as it was asked, then I would think she has a legal case that she's entitled to the prize.

Look at the mess TV companies in the UK got into with dodgy phone-in contests.

Tabnabs

Agree, definitely a case for comreg or some agency like that.

What? Since when? The last Nielsons I saw said differently.

cant agree with people saying that the first caller in the quiz would have a case for getting the prize or feeling hard done by.

the question asked, however badly and I cant remember exactly how it was asked, was basically who won a acting oscar for "chicago". The answer was Catherine Zeta Jones. Renee Zellwegger won an oscar for "Cold Mountain" a year or 2 afterwards. In this day and age, with the interweb and wik to help, i cant believe the first caller got the answer wrong.

Yes tubs was jumping the gun (prob because he expected the right answer the first time) but the fact remains that the caller got the answer WRONG. It would have been more embarresing for RTE had the mistake not been spotted. The RTE charter would have hamstrung them altogether.

Anyone notice that David Gest painted his head black to make it look like he had a full head of hair?

Just checked the latest Nielsens, Late Late in second position with 533,000 viewers and Tubridy in 9th with 430,000. Not even close.

Oh the cringiness of it last Saturday night. I only put it on because the band Fight Like Apes were making an appearance (bizarrely enough).
Anyway, the actress Gemma Craven (Father Ted, The Clinic) was on - she behaved like an absolute twat, trying to be all racy. Made an awful idiot of herself. Probably pissed.
Then Marty ****ing Morrissey - oh the glamour... :rolleyes: Cringey jokes aplenty.
Then Fight Like Apes after all this. They were fantastic! Audience wouldn't have known what to make of them I'd say. Although before they played, Ryan read out the title of their album, David Carradine is a Bounty Hunter Whose Robotic Arm Hates Your Crotch. A slight murmur from the audience - really not the place for it.
