Late Late Show 22nd May 2015

Ol' Donie

So, I'm on an IT support call, so I figure I'll put these four hours to use by starting up the old thread.

Ricky Hatton is on. I remember a friend of mine saying to me years ago to watch out for this new hotshot fighter, Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton. Gonna be big, he said. I'll watch out for him, I said.

Of course, I never did, because boxing is silly, but if you care what he has to say about anything including that recent fight between Mayflower and Packier, he'll be on the new set later.

Meanwhile, who hasn't had enough crap impressions of our relatively uninteresting president? Anyone? Yes? We'll you're in for a treat, cos for the first time in...ooh, must be a few weeks, Oliver Callan is on to do his tired and repetitve schtick. Sorry, his humorous impersonations of Irish public faces.

Also joining us tonight will be Irish C&W star Nathan Carter! Really! He'll be on to tell us about some Christmas show or other, which I suspect not even his Ma cares about.

Finally, for now, The RTE Concert Orchestra will be playing throughout the show. I don't know why, but I am quite looking forward to it, to be honest.

Anyway, that IT fella has since solved my problem so back to work for me.

Maybe I should ask him how to do puppehs and kittehs on the old phone?

See yis later.

I think I remember from another thread that there is a formal dress code for this week's audience. That probably ties in with the orchestra. Curious to find out what's in store.

I also assume there'll be something to mark the likely passing of the marriage referendum.

I wonder is oliver Callan on to have a little go at darcy? Tubs might start to get interesting if he thinks everyone is gunning for his job .

Is nathan Carter the one who does the horrible version of Wagonwheel?

George Clooney, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne and Snoop Dogg are on Graham Norton. I wonder which I'll watch - the dilemma of it all.

Ozzy Osborne is revolting, as is his other half!

You'd wanna get the IT guy to sort out the Calendar on your PC...

DEFTLEFTHAND

Didn't Tubs and Callan have a bit of a falling out a while back or am I dreaming?

I'm confused about this too...

From that Joe dot IE website, three years ago..

Nob Nation Deserts Ryan Tubridy

Poor old Ryan Tubridy has just lost the best part of his radio show, meaning his chances of turning his falling listenership figures around are slimmer than ever.

Oliver Callan’s Nob Nation, the bafflingly popular ‘satirical’ sketch segments are no more, with Paul Galvin’s favourite person deciding to focus exclusively on his weekly show on Radio 1, Green Tea, leaving Tubs high and very, very dry.

According to today’s Irish Mail on Sunday, relations between Callan and Tubridy are “strained” with Tubridy uncomfortable at the controversy that surrounds Callan and his sketches.

I am looking forward to the opening of the rollercoaster at Tayto Park more than anything else this summer

Say Your Number

After Jason Byrne's sh1te mesmerising performance a few weeks ago, now we have Oliver Callen to suffer through look forward to, RTE just keep torturing spoliing us don't they.

Does anyone know if Ray Coyle from Largo foods has to pay for his interview slot on the show? I'm assuming that's going to be classed as product placement!

We all know what freebie the audience will be getting tonight anyway!

I doubt it, Louis Walsh has been getting free slots for years.

When I look back upon my life,
it's always with a sense of shame ...

I just realised I wasted hours and hours of my life on hold, when I could have been starting threads or threading starts or something.

No more of that from now on!

I can imagine when Al Porter is on, Colm Hayes will be throwing things at the TV in a drunken stupor.

BuilderPlumber

Just back from Mad Max Fury Road. Great film. Now, I can't be watching Tubridy after that! Just dawned on me: I don't think he had anything about this film on his show did he? Or about the new Batman films or any good film that are really popular has he?

Is that the "Wagon Wheel" lad on tonight??.....

To talk about a Christmas gig, apparently. That seems very odd to me.

Surely if you had LLS tickets booked months ago, you wouldn't want to be told at the last minute that you have to rent a tuxedo or long frock?

And then be forced to watch Oliver 'Nob' Callan :mad:

Welsh Megaman

Who ordered the concert orchestra?

Cypress Hill, I'm looking in your direction!

Unruly Hector

Oh F**K OFF... just F**K OFF.....

This start is a bit too Glee for me

RobertKK

They wouldn't get out of a Eurovision semi-final.

grey_so_what

My ears are bleeding a bit........The backing singers don't sound the greatest....

Ol' Donie

It's early days, but you'd have to say they aren't making the most of having a f***ing concert orchestra!

ProudDUB

Ok, someone tell that lad in the beige suit and stupid hat, he is looks ridiculous. And he is the bass player. Not even Slash could pull that look off.

Evening all.

jojofizzio

Are the Camembert Quartet doing a wedding tonite or summat??

Ya fecker, you got me with that.

I suppose this is some use for the €2,476 each member of the RTÉ Concert Orchestra can claim as expenses to Revenue. A poor bricklayer can only claim €175.

"In my mind and in my CAR"

It's rare to see the RTE concert orchestra actually perform on RTE

They are under utilised.

Say Your Number

Did they get that bass player from a Lynard Skyard tribute act?
