Rather than devising a whole new show for the summer, surely it would make more sense to run the Late Late all year round, with guest presenters whenever Tubridy goes on his holidays. This would make it easier to eventually find a new permanent presenter. Because Tubridy is clearly unsuited to the genre.0 -

Well there's been no change from when you used post...
Hey, come on back, you were great craic
Why, thank you very much.JonathanAnon wrote: »It's been particularly bad for the past month.. The show about "The Irish - A great bunch of lads" was nauseating and cringey.. The show with Keating was always gonna be judged on that interview and whether Tubridy asked the question, which he didnt... And last night's show had effectively no real guests aside from Jessie J, who Tubrity felt obliged to ask about her illness (i.e. she had a stroke when she was 18) and her Irish connections..
RTE are gonna have to have a sit down with Tuberity when this season is finished.. The Ronan Keating interview was a real lowpoint for Tubridy, it needs to be put to him that if he is not prepared to ask the hard questions, then he is not the right man for the job.. A new host who is a bit risqué, is what the show needs.. With Pat and now Tubridy, the show is too much interview by numbers and not enough spontaneity.
I thought the furore over the Ronan Keating was massively overblown tbh. Tubridy's been getting away with avoiding asking the tough questions to his buddies for years. If anything, the controversy over the Keating interview was a culmination of all the times he has repeatedly wimped out and people have finally had enough of it...well, thats what I'd like to believe.
The fact that Ronan Keating is a dislikable tit had a lot to do with it too I would imagine...0 -

Oh Jesus, you're right. I did not know.
No laughing matter.
RIP.
Oh gosh, I didn't know this.
Didn't mean to disrespect the dead.
RIP0 -
Why, thank you very much.
I wouldnt read too much in to the compliments here Tele.. given that it is the Late Late Show thread, people have a tendency to fall into the same fawning mannerisms as the host... I think you're wonderful as well, btw.. you're "just what the country needs right now"..Tubridy's been getting away with avoiding asking the tough questions to his buddies for years.
I completely agree with you on this one.. Not asking the question of Keating was the straw that broke the camel's back for a lot of people.. His prime focus in all his interviews seems to be to avoid confrontation, not to ask interesting, probing questions... After a series of soft soap interviews, people wanted Keating grilled if he was going to get air time to promote his album.. And this interview completely brought to a head his lack of courage as an interviewer....
And it's kind of ironic that he's pissed off more guests by licking their boots (like Juliette Binnoche) than he has by asking them uncomfortable questions.0 -
