Yes, there was a time under Gaybo's reign when there was no Late Late Show on a Good Friday but for the last ten years or so there has been a show. Sometimes the show was a pre-record, usually of the season's highlights. You'd be struggling to fill such a programme these days.

Tony Blair might well be on, he was on radio this morning. 15th anniversary of Belfast Agreement.

Now, Lapin. You know I like you a lot, but we are going to have to have a chat about these mischievous posts about T***k appearing on the LLS. :mad::P

Indestructable

Brendan Grace to open with a song, a charity single. Mary Byrne to sing a song, chef from Northern Ireland. Eh three young TV presenters and a group on talking about miracles in Medjugorje.

I thought so too MrsD, but the LLS historians reckon Pat never did Good Friday either.

The Late Late Show 02/04/10
For the first Good Friday 'Late Late Show' in 15 years, Ryan Tubridy will be joined by an all-star line-up of musical guests.

I remember Gay doing one Good Friday in the nineties, he said it was accidentally scheduled so they just did it. I think he didn't bother after that.

How's about a caption competition to keep us going until we have some guest news?

"So I says "No, seriously - €723,000 a year, loads of time off and they let me swan over to the BBC whenever I like", so Obama says "I'm in the wrong job, can you put in a word for me?"

As Pat bent over in agonising pain brought on by a sudden heart attack, Ryan seized the moment to ask him if he was available to appear as a guest on tonights LLS if he survives, and describe the pain and agony he suffered in minute detail for the entertainment of the viewers.

Tonight's guests include Miriam O'Callaghan, Joe Duffy. Marian Finucane, Derek Mooney etc. The panel will discuss the difficulties facing them as they try to adjust to life on their drastically cut salaries

Skid X

Apparently it is a pre-record tonight.

Probably wise, it would be cruel to ask the Audience to sit through the show without having had a few drinks in advance.

stop animal cruelty

Just saw on twitter Darren Kennedy & Laura Whitmore are on....to talk about what l do not know oh and someone called Dylan McGrath? is that the "try to look so angry like Gordon Ramsey" chef??

Over the last few months Tubs has been leaving really sad and seriously depressing items until last and I and many others have gone to bed very upset. I'm taking no chances this evening :mad:

I'm going to Sky+ Gaybo Laughs Back. It's on RTE 1 @ 6:30pm and for the people who miss it, it should be on the RTE Player.

Gay Byrne presents a selection of the funniest moments from The Late Late Show, featuring comedians including Billy Connolly, Spike Milligan, Brendan O'Carroll and Niall Toibin.

stop animal cruelty

l'v seen Gaybo laughs back at least 3 times now

Welsh Megaman

Also on tonight...Larianne from boards.ie (somewhere in the audience)!

Lady Chatterton

Ah here, you're slipping up Welsh Megaman

Larianne was supposed to appear on the SNS last Saturday night but she ended up giving her tickets to her parents and her auntie.

There will be no audience prizes this evening, instead there will be a basket collection during the Ad break in support of the financially strapped RTE stars.

Episode 1/6 too. Missed this the first time (or four) that it was on, so I've sky+ed it.

"Dya see that?" said Tubs, "That's one of those fools who forks over a wad of wonga and expects a 'world class public service broadcaster'. Huh, what do they want for the buttons we get paid? A BBC service on a TV3 budget??"

"Ah no, stop it Ryan!" gasped Pat, "you're killin' me!!"

That is a very reasonable price, and I see it is a region free DVD. It would be a nice present for someone living abroad who remembers the show during Gay's era.

Saw on facebook that accordion player Seamus Begley is also on.... for any diddly diddle music fans

Hi All,

It's definitely a pre-recorded show - it was filmed last night. I can tell you that Maura Derane is on talking about autism, and Declan Nerney and Mary Byrne are also guests.

So yes, it looks like that's who they found skulking about the RTE canteen late, yesterday evening.

I think I'll have to give it a miss and watch The Good Wife and the Criminal Minds that I sky-plused instead - along with a few glasses of cheap French wine.

Happy Good Friday everyone!

They think we will attract bigger advertising revenue for RTE.

Film 4 have been running a trilogy week.
They had the Godfather series on earlier in the week, tonight it's the final installment of Lord of the Rings, "Return of the King".



Nice....

Yup, wonder if Frodo will make it. The tension is killing me.

Lapin

Apparently Jesus's dying words on the cross were "Don't give those Irish feckers any drink on Good Friday".

So I had to go to the off licence yesterday to stock up for tonight.



Although I might have to bring a bottle or 3 to the house party I'm going to instead of staying in to watch Tubbs !

Enjoy the show and don't overdo it.

Brendan Grace and Declan Nerney on first.
Then Dylan McGrath
Then Angela Scanlon, Laura Whitmore and Darren Kenndey talking about living in London
Then a family talking about autism
Maura Derrane is next up
And finally, some people talking about 'miracles'.

Music from Brendan and Declan, two fiddley idley types, and a special 'rollin' appearence from Mary Byrne. Wait till you see those hips move!!

Got an overnight stay! WHOOOO. Was bored outta my tree by halfway through. Surprisingly, Tubridy is very engaging with the audience during the breaks. Completely different to how he interviews. Although perhaps he says the same thing to the audience every week, so he has it down to a fine art! :pac:

You can have as much wine as you want before hand.

Ha, that I'm not telling. Pretty sure I'll be in shots though.

You do know we'll all be speculating which one you are now. It might be more entertaining than the show itself

How was Brendan Grace? He didn't seem well at all, the last time he was on for his 40th anniversary in the business.

Was gonna watch return of the king, but this thread is particularly funny this week so far. Might stick around for it.

Kinda weird to hear ryan is so good with the audience. I often get the impression he dosn't really want to be there.

"The Late Late Show Thread - Better than Lord of The Rings"

Thanks Donie, I will use that (sort of) quote the next time we get someone whinging "why do you all watch it if you don't like it." (Probably before 10 o'clock tonight)

Funnyonion79

I went to a few Tubridy Tonight shows and he was always great with the audience then as well. Very funny and witty.

I should probably qualify that by saying the one and only time i watched ROTK i fell asleep. For a few hours.

But the point still stands!

He was alive and kicking last night.

Just so you know, the show isn't any way exciting, at all. Well apart from Mary and her hips don't lie movements. :pac:

Very surprising! Kept going on about how his water was actually gin! And had the craic with the boom operator who was a ginge.

Seriously? I always found him really condescending to the audience on that show. Remember he had this regular thing where he'd trot up the steps about half-way through the show, single out the most nervous looking person or couple he could find and plonk himself down and act pretty sh1tty to them. Usually with a very smug condescending tone.
Seemed to me he learned his trade watching old re-runs of Mike Murphy on Winning Streak! :rolleyes:
