The Late Late Show - 21/12/12 @ 9:35pm

Lady Chatterton

Ladies and Gentleman,

The good people over in the Late Late Show office are being tight-lipped again this week about who might be appearing on the show this evening. This is all I could get from the Late Late Show homepage

Ryan Tubridy hosts the light entertainment show, featuring a mix of celebrity guests, music, in-depth interviews and discussions on the stories that have the nation talking.

Sounds riveting, doesn't it? :pac:

Perhaps they'll treat us to a compilation of Ryan's worst best bits from this year

I'm sorry that my opening post is a little light on content at the moment but I'll update it as soon as I hear what is going on over in Montrose :pac:

Happy Christmas to everyone who frequents the LLS thread (lurkers and posters) and every good wish for 2013!



A special word of thanks to Tubs, love him or hate him but he has helped to make this thread great Happy Christmas Tubs!

Edit:

The Guests

Music - Raglans
Former Labour TD, Colm Keaveney
Creator and star of Mrs. Brown's Boys, Brendan O'Carroll
Music - Finbarr Furey
Panel discussion on the year that was, 2012 - Brendan O'Carroll, Maia Dunphy, Pat Spillane and Olivia O'Leary.

They obviously haven't had a chance to drop down to the RTE canteen to see who's around for the show tonight.

Maybe if they looked a bit further afield...

I prefer his 'on-off girlfriend'.

I'm half tempted to ring RTÉ to ask them to stick the tape of the 'LLS 50th Birthday Special' back in the machine tonight.

Skid

At least they have a full length programme tonight, not a truncated version like last year's Show before Christmas.

The LLS celebrated the non apocalypse and imminent Christmas by revealing one piece of guest information. Music tonight from 'Raglans'

Thanks Skid, you can always be relied upon to come up with some guests

Maybe we will see a cast member from Love/Hate given it popularity in recent weeks

Are you sure Skid?

This lady was also on the 50th anniversary show :D

I suppose we could ask RTE to issue a special warning ahead of her appearance, just for you

Skid

A Song for Lilie-Mae (which was performed on the LLS a few weeks ago) didn't get the Christmas Number one

http://www.hotpress.com/James-Arthur/news/James-Arthur-is-the-Christmas-Number-One/9471098.html?new_layout=1

James Arthur's winner's song 'Impossible' – a cover of the 2010 Shontelle song – retains pole position for the second week.

At No. 2, also for the second week, is charity single 'Tiny Dancer', which sees Irish artists such as Paddy Casey, Declan O'Rourke and Mary Black come together to cover the Elton John classic to raise much needed funds for Lily-Mae Morrison, a four year-old suffering from Stage 3 Neuroblastoma.

Still, at least it is still selling well and generating some good revenue.

It's OK MrsD, I have watched it a few times now, I know exactly what time she appears.

I would schedule my toilet break and Beer Run to the fridge to coincide with her appearance.

I'd recommend you have a sick bucket on standby, just in case RTE did some unexpected editing.

I heard Ryan on the radio this morning saying that the Late Late Show tonight was going to be good fun for the most part!!

A very happy Christmas and all the very best wishes for 2013 to you all, thanks for all the laughs, and there have been many, over the last year.

And a happy Christmas to Ryan, RTE Staff and families.

Looking forward to tonights show.

Happy Christmas to you too MrsD, and Happy Christmas to everyone - the regulars, those who drop in now and again, the Mods, the trolls, the lurkers and anyone else who I have forgotten.

The Snowman looks like he has a much better pair of boots than Santa Claus ^^^. He should swap with Santa - Santa will need a decent pair for his labours on Christmas Eve. The Snowman won't be going anywhere, except Walking In the Air. And you don't need any boots for that.:)

FloatingVoter

Yeah, happy Christmas everybody - lets not insult little Ryan too much tonight, Just a little maybe for old times sake.

Welsh Megaman

*climbs out of fallout shelter*

We're still here!

...or ARE we?

Will Ryan follow Brendan's lead and end tonight's show by singing?

Lapin

HAPPY CHRISTMAS FELLOW LLS PEOPLE

So help yourselves to a dropeen and keep an eye on Grey So What !

The Midleton is for MrsD007.

Good man Lapin, I will be busy rehearsing this one all evening just for you

Just got this Christmas post card from Ryan Tubridy.. (He's pictured here with the RTE sound team)



"And a Merry Christmas To One And All".

grey_so_what

A little treat from GSW to you fellow Boardie fans of the great lady herself....:p

Aside from that a few words to all my friends on the wonderful LLS thread!...

I joined the thread this year in March thinking Gok was a woman.....my education has been greatly enhanced by the words of wisdom, gravitas and advice regarding whiskey.

Which, of course, I completely ignore.

To my friends, MrsD, Skid, WM, cofy, HA, Lapin (I know where you live, lock up your bar!..;)) JA, all that make me laugh and enjoy on what would normally be an average night in I thank you.

A very happy healthy peaceful Christmas and New Year. Thank you for you company, wit and good humour. You are friends indeed.

My daughter and I wish you and your families all the happiness in the world.

God Bless you all,
GSW and daughter!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:):):):):):)

If X Factor UK isn't a dead horse yet, then it's very close to being one.

Hope that Hillsborough charity song gets the UK Chrimbo number 1.

The Hillsborough song is 23,000 ahead so it should do it, hopefully

Incidentally, the song for Lily-Mae is apparently the biggest selling number 2 single in Ireland ever


https://www.facebook.com/pages/Irish-Recorded-Music-Association-IRMA/477273185638813?fref=ts

I'm sure everyone knows that the biggest selling UK Number 2 single ever was

Last Christmas by Wham, kept off Number 1 by Band Aid

Happy Christmas to everyone too. Looking forward to the offering tonight. I like that it is secret. It's a bit like waiting for Santa to arrive.

Skid

Daniel Radcliffe is very good on Have I Got News For You? on BBC1 now.

If he ever wastes all his Harry Potter money, he could have a new career on Comedy Panel Shows.

grey_so_what

I'm watching him Skid, he is playing a blinder!!!...:)

Happy Christmas y'all can't wait for tonight bet it'll be a cracker wha'

C'mere on the subject of the 50th celebration (which was great) can anyone somehow upload the Dickie rock song at the end (lls theme tune) with rte hawt conductor guy.
I loved that 1960's vibe from it

Anyone?? For me? For Christmas???

JonathanAnon

You thought it would be a happy show tonight didn you ... Well, on tonight's show:

- The parents of Tiny Tim, who died because Scrooge persisted with being a b*ll*x after ignoring the Ghost Of Christmas Future.

- One woman tells the story of how she caught her mommy kissing Santa Claus underneath the Christmas tree one night.. she discusses visiting Santa in hospital after her father beat him within an inch of his life (with a reindeer saddle).... and how she coped after her parents divorce..

- The relations of a grandma, who got run over by a reindeer, going home from their house on Christmas eve.. Followed by a panel discussion about the dangers of speeding sleighs on our roads (including a contribution from Conor Faughnan of the Automobile Association).

These guys are good IMO

Ally Dick

They got a very loud cheer. Must be friends in the audience. They're a copy of The Coral

Harry Angstrom

Evening all. I'm still a bit dubious that Tubbs can do an entire Late Late Show without at least one sob story cropping up at some stage.

At least JF96 song will get UK no. 1.

When they sing Saaaaaaaaa.... nd in my pocket ...

I keep expecting them to say SannnnnnnnTA did something or other..

JonathanAnon

I expect the interview to be carried out in Latin...

They're imitating scousers when they sing e.g. The Coral. IDENTICAL

Harry Angstrom

I wonder if the conversation will be in Latin?

Ally Dick

Poor Shane. Tragic death

Atlantic Dawn

The comic legend must be Brendan Grace.

Lenin Skynard

This lad always strikes me as a little bit weird and I wonder if he had 2015/16 in mind when he took his decision, not unlike some FFers last time around jumping ship to save their long term future.

Lady Chatterton

Just what everyone wants a few days before Christmas .... a Primetime style interview :rolleyes:

jojofizzio

This fella looks like he's going to cry...

Lady Chatterton

Something kinda handsome about Keaveney, maybe it's the grey hair.

Did that guy go to bed at all the last few days ... could certainly do with a few slices of cucumber on the old eye bags

Atlantic Dawn

Once it's 10 o clock i want pure entertainment for the rest of the show, no more doom and gloom.

bonaparte2

he's worked incredibly hard to stop himself crying
