Tubridy Tonight - April 11th

JonathanAnon

How many would you think Brian had before going on. I would think 5 or 6.

Nice guy though and the audience certainly still like him.

Really, I thought it was meant to be live..spose it is Easter Saturday.

Audience bit was as embarrassing as usual

PopBeloved

Does anyone have a link to the Paul Williams parody written like hard-boiled fiction?

Aidric

Paul Williams has to be the smuggest tosser in Ireland today. He failed to make a single point without breaking into a sneery smirk mid sentence.

PopBeloved

But, but, but, Aidric? He's making criminals lives harder. But going after criminals isn't his job. He's just an ordinary decent journalist. But they go after journalists, y'know? A lot from the sounds of him.

Seriously, you couldn't construct a better self-aggrandising hard man persona after studying for a degree in self-aggrandising hard man personas.

I hope to god Tubbery doesnt get the Late Late, what an asshole.

JonathanAnon

No need to be attacking Paul Williams like the post above says.

Second audience game on Tubridy and SECOND drunk guest. Great show Ryan.

If, and I am saying IF Ryan Tubberty gets the Late Late:mad: who or what will fill his slot on Sat night.
Maby they wont replace Tubs show (cutbacks)or will they move the Late Late back to Saturday night.
What do you folks think???

robo

If it was recorded, did they not have a viewer competition?

holly1

No.

Brian who?

I really do not want Tubbs for the Late Late. Bad interviewer, not funny and cringingly uncool and doesn't realise it.

Notice how tubridy changed subject very quickly when Williams was criticising FF.
How could such a FF lick arse be even considered for the Late late?

PopBeloved

No need to be attacking Paul Williams like the post above says.

The likelihood of having someone like Paul Williams working for a newpaper is directly proportional to how serious that newpaper is; crime reporters are compromised from the get-go because their sources are compromised from the get-go.

And Paul William's attempts to create some kind of Russell-Crowe-from-LA-Confidential-type persona is one of the most tragically incompetent pieces of self-invention in the history of ever.

I watched the repeat of Tubridy Tonight last night.

Did you see as Ryan came in through the audience he pulled a girls hair/ponytail. I honestly think he has stunted maturity when it comes to women - he is like that boy in school who doesn't know what to say to the girl he fancies, so he pinches her instead. Very strange for a man in his 30's to go on like that.

PLUS then he ruined that interview with that couple in the audience who had what was a reasonably interesting story when they first started talking (the husband ended up delivering their baby on the side of the road because they didn't make the hospital on time). By the time Tubridy finished with all his stupid interruptions and comments it had extended to about ten minutes of utter boredom.

I watched part of the repeat last night before heading to bed. Iv always liked Ryan and the interviews. On Tubridy its not supposed to be as serious as the Late Late. Its more relaxed, bit of a laugh type interview. He can do serious, which makes him a good candidate for the Late Late (I have listened to him on Radio) and a recent poll in the paper suggests a lot of people agree. Though, id prefer Miriam got it as Tubridy Tonight would be ****e without a decent replacement.

Found the story about the baby delivery interesting and the interruptions were more clarification. The interview with Paul, well its similar to what I have heard from him in a speech before. I don't read his paper or books much, but I know who he is and what he does. I honestly do not see the problem with him reporting what happens in the country? It seems to me people are scared of what he reports so knock him. Id prefer journalists had the balls to report what happens in this country and not just the mainstream reports but the actual violence and gangland murders that happen.

I am curious about the anti-FF comments. Tubridy seemed to question him about it then quickly brushed aside the topic as if he didn't realise what he had just asked or was told to drop the questions. Paul got plenty of FF digs in without comment by Tubridy who's brother is a FF councillor.

PopBeloved

Or, instead of implicating a mass of people in drug dealing and gangland violence, maybe people are suspicious of him because it's clear that 98% of his material is gleaned from the Garda Síochána, a highly political, insular institution with a long and storied history of feeding misinformation to Paul Williams-types. Maybe people knock him because he practices the kind of journalism that a first-year journalism student is warned off of for proceeding from dodgy premises.

Or maybe because he's a posturing dingbat.

Y'know, whichever.

I did not need these "clarifications" and thought they were immature and juvenile. I found them jarring.

So he is making it all up and completely misinformed? We live in a complete rosey world and the violence is really just a few kids playing around and the media and people living in effected areas are playing along with the hype? Maybe students are warned against it because your pissing off the wrong people and spreading news that is negative and can freak people out? The whole idea of a journalist is to report the news, good or bad, as long as the public would find the news useful/interesting.

I dont read much of his work, never read the paper he works for and iv only met the chap once at a conference and on Tubridy - I dont see a big deal with journalists reporting it as it is, without leaving bits out? Perhaps he IS bull****ting, completely misinformed and wrong in which case I will agree that such media and outlets should not be giving the chap the time of day.

You didnt. Fair enough. Other people might have. Immature and Juvenile? Hardly. Remember this is not meant to be a Pat Kenny style interview. Consider Tubridy a Jonathan Ross type interviewer (before anyone even begins to point out there nowhere a like, Tubridy is using that type of approach).

The idea of a journalist is to tell the truth. We have good reason to believe that William's methods leave him with stories that aren't the truth. That's the beginning and end of my argument.
