The Tubridy Thread

ghiertal · 27-08-2012 8:41am #1

The 2FM star has been at the helm for three seasons already.
But he admits it’s only now that he feels at home, thanks to the nod from Gaybo and Pat on the 50th anniversary of the legendary show.
Tubs, who turns 40 this year, revealed: “Hosting the 50th, it actually felt like a handover having Gay and Pat there on the show. So it only now feels as if I’m getting my feet under the table. I’ve had to earn my stripes.”

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/irishsun/irishfeatures/4506244/Tubs-and-smiles-Gaybo-and-Pat-give-Ryan-nod.html

With new LLS season starting on Friday will Gay's and Pat's approval help him this year? He has been on TV for at least ten years so this sounds hollow to me. It's almost as if he is trying to make excuses for his poor performances.

He has the nod. Will definitely watch now.

Took them long enough to give him the nod...:D

Isn't it a bit sad that a 39 year old man with fifteen years broadcasting experience is looking for a nod from two older men in order to feel accepted on the LLS. You need to have confidence in yourself to carry out proper, intense interviews but also to have the ability to be lighthearted and frivolous.

You can look at it in another way, I suppose, and question whether or not this is a load of phonus balonus and is tubridy trying to insist that he is still a novice in the LL stakes and that this somehow explains everything(like Juliette Binoche or Jack Black) away.

i really don't care about tubs, and the lls, but this is too funny

"i'd like the mask to drop a bit" what the hell is he talking about?

Tubs Summer 2011 "This is the year I hope to make the show my own. With two seasons under my belt, I'm looking forward to getting the show on the road."

http://www.rte.ie/tv/latelate/index.html

Tubs Summer 2012 "it only now feels as if I’m getting my feet under the table. I’ve had to earn my stripes." (as above)

What is the betting he will be saying something similar in 12 months time, yet again?
He needs to stop promising better things and start delivering.

It might be more in his line to read the critics, instead of listening to the sycophants inside RTE.

Good point Skid. I have also previously noted how most of his comments are obvious propaganda, he wants to create an impression that he is new to the job + he also likes to align himself with Gay Byrne, because he thinks it will go down well with the LL audience.

Tubridy:"What’s most important is not the job", Gay Byrne would never have uttered this line. The LLS should be taken off him and given to someone who is eager and anxious to do well. Gay Byrne had a massive input into choosing guests and every other factor of the programme, one gets the impression that tubs is happy just to put down time.

If it's true that tubs went behind Miriam's back to get Katie Taylor, then it really is despicable behaviour.

Tubs and yummy mummy Miriam will be both at electric picnic, that will be interesting..

BlaasForRafa · 30-08-2012 9:30pm

Gaybo and Pat couldn't very well have said that Tubs is dire on the 50th anniversary program, so the so-called nod means very little. Gay was so much better than tubs on the 50th anniversary program, even at seventy-odd, that he really showed him up. I dunno if I could sit and watch another interview like the Mia Farrow one, it was like a slow-motion car-crash

JonathanAnon · 30-08-2012 10:09pm

Save the big Katie Taylor interview for a man that's more likely to wear over gloves than boxing gloves.. well done RTE..

The comments are enough

Riddle101 · 03-09-2012 3:36am

What did they say exactly to give him the nod? Was it like a pat on the head, with both men saying good boy you're doing a grand job.

Article from today's Indo, Graham Norton is anxious to host the Late Late Show. Could be the end of the road for tubbers. Wouldn't it be ironic if Norton replaced tubbers after tubbers tried to poach Graham's job on BBC radio. I think Graham would make a brilliant host and would have the gravitas to create a rapport with any personality he interviews. Even if RTE were to pay him two million euro it would be worth it. The LLS is an important programme and he could lift the nation in the same way Gay Byrne did. I would love to see tubs done down on this. Can you imagine how humiliating it would be for him if he was sacked from the Late Late?

Having read the article, I presume by "anxious" you mean Norton may possibly someday consider it, but only when he's old and retired from the BBC?

In summary, it ain't gonna happen.

For the record Tubridy filled in for Norton as cover for his vacation. He wasn't trying to poach anything but don't let facts get in the way of your bitter and boring rambling.

Sigh. agreed.
Norton leave his gazillions and being in the centre of celebrity universe to enter into the dead zone?

please.

AnonoBoy · 06-09-2012 1:46pm

There is no way RTE could pay Norton enough. They'd have to wait until he's winding down his career.

expectationlost · 07-09-2012 5:13pm

with norton selling his production company to itv, does that mean they wnat his show on itv too?

Or Ryan Tubridy, if you read more than just the post title for context.

BlaasForRafa · 24-09-2012 2:41pm

There is no way that Tubridy would make it big in the states, he may try and copy Conan O'Briens mannerisms but that's about it really, he has no charm or empathy and can be excruciatingly bad when an interview starts to go wrong.

Let him go off to the states if he wants to, he'd be no loss at all.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Not meaning to dump on The Late Late again coz the guys there are working hard, but, come on. What Tubridy and Co. are doing is destroying the legacy of something sacred and Irish. Maybe RTE should just be honest here and retire the world's longest running chat show because the format just isn't viable in the modern TV age... Three hours long with emphasis adhering to sponsor mentions wedged in inappropriate places and the strict timing of ad breaks cutting off the rare good stuff rather than keeping the momentum going. We can remember times when Gay Byrne actually extended shows on the fly when they were going really well... More of that! And less of this![/FONT]

Well thanks be to God, at last there is a dedicated Tubridy Thread, I was beginning to get dizzy from all the Tubridy threads on here.

Ghiertal & Jimmynokia, I hope TV3 offer ye a place on the next edition of 'Celebrity Mastermind'. Between the two of you ye have loads of research done

Possible topics: Tubridy - The Radio 1 Years, JFK, Mad Men, Tubridy Tonight, Rose of Tralee host, The Late Late Show etc....

Should this thread now be moved to the Celebrity Forum? There is a weekly thread created here to discuss Ryan Tubridy's chat show. There is a thread in the radio forum for his breakfast show. Why not have the same for these people who just want to discuss Tubridy?

Its a pity that a few people who seem to have an obsession with Ryan Tubridy put you in such a position. But surely if you made it clear that threads relating to Tubridy, and not the Late Late weren't allowed in the Television forum they would have to respect this? Sorry, I dont mean to come across as back seat modding its just Im sick of all these Ryan Tubridy related threads in the Television Forum when there is a Celebrity forum when would probably be more suitable for those few obsessed with Ryan. Surely Im not the only one who feels this way am I?
