The Late Late Show - 26th. February 2016

Welsh Megaman

So, are we all GERE'd up for tonight's show?





GERE.


Suit yourselves.

Boxer David Haye, Paralympic gold medallist Jason Smyth and former Labour Party leader Pat Rabbitte will join Hollywood legend Richard Gere on this week's Late Late Show.

Former World Champion boxer David Haye will chat about making a triumphant return to boxing after a three-year break.

Paralympic athlete Jason Smyth will talk about winning four gold medals at the Paralympics, having been diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease when he was a nine-year-old.

And given that it's the day the country votes in the General Election, former Labour leader Pat Rabbitte will share his fears for Ireland's political stability.


9.35 tonighty

I'll lay €1000 that Rabitte won't be on til after 10.

JP Liz V1

Ah ffs enough with politics

NIMAN

Thats a poor line-up, Gere will of course be hyped up as a massive Hollywood star, despite not being in a big film for 20+ years.

Kerrydude1981

I think Colm Meaney sums up my thoughts on that line up bar Jason Smyth it's a brutal line up

Take it away Colm

I would still consider him a big star

Harry Angstrom

I wonder if Tubs will ask Gere if he has any Irish roots?

And we all want to know if he has any disease or illness. Anything, anything at all? Even a hang-nail. Please? Please?

Pat Rabbitte ?

Rarely in the history of Irish politics has a politician dropped his "principles" and "ideals" so quickly when they were offered the seat in the big house with all attached pensions and attrapings.

A seriously mean, nasty, vile, condescending and patronising individual, who rarely debates with people but instead puts them down and does his best to humiliate them.

Take your pension and go Pat Rabbitte. Ireland is better off without your kind.

He still is a big star. Also, he was on Norton last year, iirc and he was brilliant.

Kerrydude1981

The furniture will be better craic then listening to Pat Rabbitte

Harry Angstrom

The audience sound well-oiled.

monkey9

He hasn't mentioned anything about David Haye being on?

I'd hold that thought for a week or so. If the polls are to be believed, others on the left will be gagging to do the same, within the next week or so.

colm_mcm

Tubs looks like someone punched him in the eye

Atlantic Dawn

Did that first lad who ran on gatecrash it?

Kerrydude1981

This is a mix of everything

Was the first fella supposed to be there?

Graigmanliam

What the hell is happening.

Atlantic Dawn

T minus 20 minutes and counting.

Kerrydude1981

Its like the dancefloor at a wedding

Few old school dancers and then lads in the corners throwing modern shapes

Atlantic Dawn

Tubs gone jacks?

Haye probably saw this "performance" in rehearsals and opted out of the show.

Harry Angstrom

I feel like I'm tripping on very strong acid.

monkey9

And Sally O' Brien and the way she might look at you.....

omerin

Taxi for Gere

Ally Dick

Trad fusion is nearly as bad as ordinary trad

BabysCoffee

Great opening!!!

coolhull

In fairness, I've seen worse

Atlantic Dawn

I think Gere might be live, one of the rugby heads mentioned bumping in to him earlier.

Kerrydude1981

Fearless men ever

That may be true.
But his take down of Pat Carey in 2010 is still political comedy gold

David Haye is well able to talk.

tinpib

Tubbers hasn't a rashers what's going on. Haye is a good guest though.

Atlantic Dawn

This lad isn't short of confidence anyway....

Atlantic Dawn

He's 35, nearly at pension collection age in boxing terms.

Yeah, good but not quite World Class.

He should get out of boxing while he still has his health and his looks, he must have made a few quid by now.
