Tubs and sports don't mix, I'm sure he'll focus mainly on Darren's British Open win in 2011 and his personal life. As a golf fan I'd like to hear him speak about his major dip in form since his Open triumph. He's struggled to make a cut in a tournament since, its shocking really how far he's fallen down the world rankings, more than 100 places in the past year.

Darren Clarke received an OBE this week from Tub's *cousin .

*Ryan Tubridy - Who Do You Think You Are?
He [Ryan] didn't expect that the search would lead him to the gates of Windsor Castle and a direct connection to the English Throne!

Ryan was able to trace back through generations of the Dolman pedigree, which then connected to many more generations of another established family, and then another, and another...

Eventually, the direct line led to the 14th Century and Edmund of Langley... who not only was the 1st Duke of York, he was also son of Edward III! And from Edward III, Ryan's direct royal line led back to the 12th Century and King John of England.

He had no form going in to it, and was extremely lucky that things came together the way they did for him that week.. Many golfer who are far more talented than Clarke never won a major.. He should just thankful that he won instead of constantly whinging about lack of success since.

Clarke is very good friends with Tiger Woods, so no doubt Tubridy will ask him all about Tiger's sex life (like he did when Harrington was on)..

Yeah, it was something of a blip on an otherwise consistently downward trajectory.

I never warmed to Darren Clarke. Definitely my least favourite of the Irish Major Golf Winners.

Interesting. I would guess that they will pre-record it for legal reasons. Presumably Tubridy will give him the usual Hello Magazine style 'grilling'.

Yeah thinking back I suppose he was, he didn't really push on enough from his world championship wins in the early part of the century.

He's an extremely nice guy though from my experience. I met him in Baltray at the Irish Open a couple of years back, was very open and approachable and generous to say the least in the amount of drink he bought for people.

Come to think of it his party lifestyle might have hindered his talent somewhat. Similar to John Daly in a way but obviously not as extreme.

Remember last week how we joked about Twink's book heading the same way as Alan Partridge's 'Bouncing Back'?

It is nice to see a professional drinker with a small interest in golf on the show. I'm sure the golf crap will disappear over time and Darren Clarke will become a fully rounded individual.

Reminds me of his drunken press conference after winning the Open.

Twink Facing Motoring Offences in Court

Ms King is now being prosecuted for eight Road Traffic Act offences.

She is accused of: failing to produce a certificate of insurance or certificate of exemption to Gardaí within 10 days; using a '05-registered vehicle which had no NCT, failing to produce a driving licence on January 6, failing to produce a NCT cert within 10 days, having no insurance, driving without a licence, failing to produce a licence within 10 days, and driving “without reasonable consideration for other persons”.

At least he didn't turn up with a pint of Guinness in his hand.

His wife died a while back so that fills the misery quota.

I see Michael Bublé is gonna be on The Saturday Night Show... Another kick in the pants for Mr Peter Pan Feet..

I'm guessing that The Sat Nite Show (with Brendan) will soon be moved to Friday night and Tubridy will be hosting something more appropriate for him.. maybe The Meaning Of Life, he could co host with Gay Byrne.. Could you imagine it..

Gay: "And what will you say when you meet Peter at the pearly gates".
Some Ex Irish Celeb: "I just say 'I've had a good life', Gay"
Tubridy: "Let's take a look at a video clip of what that might look like, then we'll have the audience quiz"

Although Juliette Binoche wasn’t at the launch, there was great excitement about her expected visit to the festival next Saturday, November 24th, to open her new film, Another Woman’s Life. The Oscar-winning French actress is currently filming near Dublin

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2012/1117/1224326696107.html

Juliette is in town. Tubbins has had two years to research her non-Hollywood fims. Be interesting to see that interview, would show us if Tubs has improved as an interviewer in the meantime.

FloatingVoter

I would imagine Ms. Binoche has been blacklisted as a guest. That interview was a complete disaster mostly due to her attitude. I doubt Gaybo or Parkie at their height could have got her to talk.

It's simply that because shes Twink, she feels above it all. I recall many many moons ago at her height:rolleyes: she tried to bring two large dogs into a restaurant and kicked up a stink when she wasn't allowed.

Late Late Favourites, they have been on twice before

Teenage Retro Rockers, I think they sound good

JonathanAnon

Okay I've just discovered that the reason my signal for The Late Late Show has been bad for the last few week is that my splitter outside the window got full of water...

So I'd like to apologise.
i) to the good people who work at Saorview who are not the "biggest shower of useless fkn b*stards" as I may have previously proclaimed....
ii) to Ryan Tubridy who should ignore the suggestions I made re: alternative uses for the digital aerial..
iii) to Tommy & PJ for any assertions I may have made about them having a being involved in a sexual relationship with each other...

Does anyone know if they will be re-releasing the original "A Woman's Heart" album, I had it on cassette:o up until about 6 years ago, when my daughter broke it. I absolutely loved it but cannot find it anywhere.

I expect 166 of them (I assume twink will keep a copy) will end up in Oxfam shops pretty soon.

It used to be that if Gaybo needed to fill a space they could get in someone like Spike Milligan or Peter Ustinov to tell some tall tales and amuse everyone. There just doesn't seem to be any equivalent characters out there these days. Of course even if there were Tubs wouldn't be able to handle them and would balls up the interview anyway.

I thought that Katie was on the woman's heart original album.

Another show I will not watch when will RTE wake up this guy is brutal at the LLS.
I used to enjoy watching it until the Ronan Keating interview and then it was curtains.
Sad to see my license fee paying a very obnoxious plank.

Exactly why I never bet on golf. Absolute no hopers according to the rankings can win majors. It's a funny game. Clarke was useless (rankings and success wise) pre Open 2011, and useless after it (rankings and success wise).

Betting Clarke talks about "goin' on the piss" after the Open win.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. It was far from Milligan or Ustinov every week. There were some awful shows in Gay Byrne's era, but in general he got much more out of his interviewees.

And I can't stand Gaybo, but he was streets ahead of Ryan. Far more relaxed and natural; pompous fuc&%$, but was good.

That's true, I remember some borefests. Gaybo's autobiography even admits to that.
Also back in the day, stars were less controlled by handlers. Insane people like Ollie Reed and Peter Sellers wouldn't be allowed out in public. Tubridy would not be able to handle an Ollie Reed display of his equipment or Peter Sellers dressed in a Kaiser hat. Among the saner end of the spectrum, Billy Connolly and Lenny Henry used to be reliable interviews as well.
