The Late Late Show - 26th February 2010

JP Liz V1

The guests due to join presenter Ryan Tubridy on 'The Late Late Show' this week have been announced.

Shane MacGowan and Victoria Clarke will be dropping in to talk about their charity single 'I Put A Spell On You', released to raise funds for Haiti. The single features Nick Cave, Johnny Depp and Bobby Gillespie.

Broadcaster Eamon Dunphy will be appearing on the show with his daughter Collette, whose five-year-old son Braiden was born with a heart condition. The pair are due to talk about the effects of hospital cutbacks.

Former Government Minister Jim McDaid will also be appearing on the show, to talk about the highs and lows of his controversial political career. There will also be musical performances from Eddi Reader and Gilbert O'Sullivan.

What odds on Dunphy to cry again?

That's a fairly lame line-up tbh.
Hoping to rehash the Brendan Gleeson moment perhaps?

Noble intentions I'm sure with the charidee single but trying to entice people to watch by tacking on the names of who sang on it smacks of desperation.

This show is teetering on the brink I fear.

ya i was thinking that. im sure he will spout out the usual muck bla bla bla the government, bla bla hes off crying. yawn. crap show tonight.

It's the same guests every ****ing time. They just roll them out and roll them in and roll them out. Dunphy's been on the Late Late numerous times, last week it was Dunne, who I think has been on THREE ****ing times with Tubridy alone? Dunphy to cry crocodile tears yet again!

Squiggle

MacGowan , McDaid and Dunphy - wow hope they have the green room well stocked up. :pac:

Shea O'Meara

Shane is okay, but I guess his lady will be doing most of the coherant chatting.

JonathanAnon

Dunno why the rest of ye are being so negative. I'm going to get cans and set myself up for another enjoyable evening of Tubridy / FF / RTE / The establishment bashing :-)

What odds on Dunphy to cry again?

What odds on MacGowan being out of his bin.

Possible appearance of Crystal Swing?

Beezkneez!

Green room would wanna be well stocked up for sure - McDaid, Dunphy and McGowan - thats gonna be some session afterwards.
Decent line-up alright.
Now if they could get rid of Tubridy, God he wrecks my head.

Keano

Can we have a show that's not about politics or the health system just for one week.

LOL. I think youre right, the liquor cabinet wont have taken such a hit since Oliver Reed was on.

RTE Shows - Promoting Other RTE Shows.

Thats my new logo for the national broadcaster.

I'd love to see some reruns of the old Gay Byrne shows from years back, to see if they too were just a promotional tool for other RTE personalities or if there was real quality in those shows. My memory was that Byrne had guests of genuine interest on a regular basis. To be fair, he was a much more versatile interviewer than Tubridy (and thats not a slight against Tubridy, Byrne was one of the best TV interviewers of all time in any country imho) and therefore got more from the interviewees.

If they were good I would be excited. Sadly I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon in their company not too long ago.

A hardly inspiring line up of Guests, with all due respects to Dunphy's grandchild, do we really need his whining yet again. This show is just appalling and Turbidy's reign to date has been a disaster, I certainly won't be tuning in, although i have to admit, i would like to see Jim Mc Daid, not that i give a **** about a failed politician, but he is usually good for letting his tongue slip!

Yet another poor line up.

he has new music out so don't expect to hear any of the favourites his new stuff isn't great

Yeah, I agree. he is unlikely to play the hits. I heard some of his new stuff and it wasnt too bad. Hard for a real artist to get a look in these days with the hold that Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell and the Corrigan Brothers have on the music industry.

That "fateful night" in 2005 is the night Jim McDaid drove down the motorway (N7) the wrong way after a day's drinking at the punchestown races.

I'm getting drunk just from watching McGowan...

blond45

what happend to shanes teeth? thought he got false ones.

I think he's takes them out when he's drinking so that they dont get corroded by the alcohol. I find the fact that he is consistently drunk on every interview is just insulting.

"Shane doesnt have a mobile phone".. Shure it's hard enough to understand him in person, never mind over a mobile phone.

ragg

Man I love Shane McGowan - but he is degenerating more and more every time i see him - I hope im wrong, but i doubt he has more then a year or two left

hitlersson666

He's laugh will give me nightmares!!!

blond45

oh god his laugh, bloody snake.

TBH I think most of it is put on. He was only supposed to have a few years left 20 years ago and to be honest if the was drinking as much as is made out he'd be dead years ago.

cutymonalisa

I wish she would wash her hair

patwicklow

another bad nite of rubbish jim mcdaid even if he is a 3rd cousin of mine hes still a FF twat that cant drive even when sober...
and why is RTE showing repeats all the time?? its an insult there taken €160 quid off us to see crap after crap..now weres my window..

The guy is a guest on the show. Would you expect a guest to show up drunk to your house. And he's a messy drunk. At least Oliver Reed still maintained a level of decorum. I just think it shows a lack of respect for the show and the viewers.

Jaysus Mary Coughlan is HUGE. I bet there's a fight in the green room over the bottle of vodka before the night is out.

blond45

mary must be 50yr by now, she was old when i was 20, that was 20 yrs ago.

IRISHSPORTSGUY

That is the worst laugh ever!! :eek: Is he related to Mutterly?

I'd agree with you for the most part, especially a few years ago - more so, when he is on stage, xmas eve in the olympia a few years ago he was immense, lucid and on top form - but he was throwing in contrived stumbles etc...

Tonight the guy is in bits, not coherent in anyway. You can tell he hasn't been sober for a long long time. I wish him all the best, and i really admire all the **** he's come through - but right now, he has literally got no future....

Mary's off it a while now (the drink I mean)

From one drunk, MaGowan, to another, Coughlan, and the drunk sings like a drunk too. Oh, good old Friday nites

ah yeah, I heard her on with Marian Finucane. She used to drink two bottles of vodka a day. Lost her house, trouble with the banks etc etc.. It's actually an interesting interview and is up on podcast.

I think you are seeing someone in the terminal stages of a disease, not someone for your entertainment.
you need to realise that Shane is a recluse and has been for a long time - the only way they could trot him out for a tv appearance, was because it was for charity.

tech77

Can someone tell me what the Minister for Enterprise and Employment was doing singing on the Late Late.
No wonder the country's going to sh1t.

So her bad singing is at fault for the state of the economy. :rolleyes: That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on this site.

JonathanAnon

Jaysus dont tell me Nuala Carey is still whoring herself around looking for a bloke. She was on Mooney's show and he couldnt find her one (spose the fact that he would be competing with her wouldnt help).

Mary Coughlan (singer) after two bottles of vodka would do a better job than Mary Coughlan (supposed politician). Even MacGown would do a better job ffs.
