With so many from which to choose, how can we possibly say which is worst?

Niles Rodgers is a bona fide genius. They should just get rid of every other guest and make it a Niles Rodgers special and hire some proper musicians to be his backing band for the night and interview him in-depth during the breaks between music segments.

Of course once I come out of dreamworld I know that won't happen, he'll get a lousy 10 minutes and DLB will ask a bunch of stupid inane insincere questions.

FloatingVoter

DLB : So, Neil - any Irish roots ?
NJ: I am Irish, you twat.
DLB: ....moving on..

Any chance Tubridy will ask Mark Owen about his own covert, nocturnal activities?

I don't know, last week was horribly bad. I'm still in recovery after it. Between Bella's song, the Irish dancer who couldn't get his timing and the wig slot (minus the first young lady), it was shocker. I still have nightmares about Ray Shah's wig.

He never really got enough credit for coming up with the intro to China Girl.

Last weeks LLS was the round-up of waifs and strays from the rte canteen, absolutely diabolical stuff.

violator

Im still holding out for someone who actually serves the food in the RTE canteen - They must have some 'AmaZing' tales.

divot

Unmissable. Genius. As someone else said, Chic and he should get the whole show...

The news story in ireland over the last 2/3 days

Good Times!

Nile Rodgers is a musical genius, and you don't get many of them on the LLS.

Fingers crossed he makes it to the starting line, this was on his twitter yesterday ...

Nile Rodgers ‏@nilerodgers 16h
I'm so happy to be in Dublin on such an incredibly beautiful day but I can't enjoy it. I'm sick in bed and hope to be better by tomorrow

Half decent line-up, hope you all enjoy it tonight.

I'd suggest you google sir and educate yourself on one hell of a musical great. Had the pleasure of meeting him last year.

He plays funky guitar on the latest Daft Punk single that is everywhere at the moment.

Tony Fenton just announced he's on with DLB tonight. Tony had cancer again lately I believe. Looks like the misery slot is sorted now so.

And he was in the Sesame Street band - guarantee that Tubs will ask about that.
Oh and he had cancer a few years ago.

JonathanAnon

Okay I want ye all to have this fully practices and ready for 9.30 tonight.

Not too bad a lineup overall. Nile Rodgers will save it and hope he is allowed play music and the discussion focuses on that and not on did he have any babies and the like !!

Last week was ok by standards of this season. Does not make last week not bad though. It was poor. But the two weeks before were the worst as were many others of this season. At least, we didn't get to see Ruby Walsh this season unless he is a surprise guest tonight.

Well put.

Although i disagree, last week was as bad as I've seen.

Looking forward to tonight though! Really!

UPDATE...Jim Breen and Roz Purcell to be interviewed about Cycle Against Suicide, Alfie 'Better Than Colm Wilkinson' Boe, music from Perfect Friction and Gavin James.

I have to see a man about a dog tonight, but enjoy the show and thanks to everyone for all the excellent posts this series. I will catch you all again soon.

Jaysis Skid, you've sat through all these shows, with all those awful, awful guests, and there's finally someone good on and you're missing it? Unlucky!

Have a good one.

If any of you get the chance the BBC had a documentary about Nile a few weeks ago. The Hitmaker I think its called

RoundyMooney

Evening friends.

After last week's debacle, I'm subjecting myself to this, in the hope that lightning won't strike twice (I know, I know).

The real reason is that I'm in an amiable mood after a few pints in the local beer garden, have a bottle at my elbow, a Chinese banquet in front of me, and the other (downstairs) TV has been commandeered by a couple of nine year olds on a sleepover.

Evening All,


Hope you have a great evening Skid, JA I have the fingers burnt practicing.

Welsh Megaman

Evening friends!

What a season it's been!

I have my drink in for tonight anyway..

Harry Angstrom

Evening all. It seems a bit like the last day of school tonight.

Bodhisopha

I'm still reeling after last week. Feel like i've had the fight beat out of me, but the end is in sight, i'll battle on.

Good Evening All

I would love if Tubs announced that he was retiring as LLS host after tonight's show...... two chances of it actually happening though

Rory1

The whole show is just awful. Do you think if RTE replaced that Tubs fellow with someone cheaper, they would still get same (or more) guests? Even when they have good guests, alls I can think of is we (license payers) are paying that lad, "how much"?

RoundyMooney

That gonna be it?

The best way to interview someone like Nile Rodgers, is to have him on a seat with a guitar, strumming through riffs and telling us about himself.

This is like putting the late great Clarence Clemens on with a Bruce Springsteen cover band. For three and a half minutes.

JonathanAnon

I was watching the chords on Nile Rodgers but jaysus keeping finding myself distracted by the tights on Mrs Chic Left..

Tubs said on his show this morning there will be two songs and an interview .

Give him time

Maybe I was premature, lads.

Sergeant

Stephen Hawking would dance to that.

I bet somewhere around the country some badly informed viewer is just after saying..

"F**kn hell, Lenny Kravitz has gone to hell"..

Almaviva

Please try to avoid following the crowd and getting caught up in a slagfest. No out and out nastiness whatsoever, and if you really must make a criticism, be constructive and supportive. See the positive in the show and enjoy it - you will if you try.

And...if you havent anything nice to post, then dont post it. There are real people behind it!

miralize

That rights Tubridy, feed the stalkers

Lady Chatterton

Nile Rodgers and Whoopi Goldberg were separated at born :eek:
