Late Late Show - 15th December 2017

Say Your Number

Last Late Late of 2017, tonight Ryan is joined by.....

Ed Sheeran will be on to talk about receiving an MBE, his dead grandfather and what the hell he was thinking when he unleashed that Galway Girl scutter on us, apparently he's going to do a rendition of Fairytale of New York

Tim and Fiona Tuomey will be on to talk about the suicide of their 11 year old daughter Millie, and how to prevent similar tragedies happening in future.

Brendan Grace will be on to reprise his role of Bottler, at least Angus Young isn't the only man in his sixties going around dressed as a schoolboy.

Joe Canning will be on to talk about his parents health troubles, his time in Syria and Galway's first hurling title in 3 decades.

Comedian Jason Byrne will on to talk about getting a vasectomy, I'm sure it was crazy and wacky and LOUD.

Duggie2012

wont be watching that

Hoboo

****e host/interviewer = scraping the barrel for guests.

Skid X

Nothing says Christmas like child suicide, sick parents, vasectomies, dead grandfathers, war in Syria and Ed Sheeran murdering Fairytale of New York.

Ol' Donie

Hmm.

Now this is a pickle, yes it is.

On the one hand, Jason Byrne and Ed Sheeran are forces of great, great evil. I have less that 1% interest in anything either of them might have to say.

On the other hand, the inverse proportionality of guest likeability and thread quality suggests it would be very worthwhile to stick around.

On the third hand, if there is such a thing, Joe Canning is a genuinely excellent fella, and I don't want to miss that.

So, then. See yis later. Merry Christmas. I'm going to the off-o.

James Brown

It really is like someones front room.
Random members of the 'entertainment' community stopping by to talk ****e and the neighbour from over the road telling you who's dead and who's sick.
Ed Sheer-yawn and his homgenised 'rock' can get f***ed. "So any Irish connection?"
But then why would you want to be in your front room watching someone else's? Be more entertaining talking to your cat.

PS: Jason Byrne... jebus wept.

You'd miss the days when mad aul' wan Twink would be on to talk about her sugar sculpting and daughter with the trucker shoulders.

Berserker

Listened to his version of Fairytale of New York already and it's ok. I think he's too nice and clean cut for a song like that. The word "f*gg*t" has been taken out of the song. Little kid below has just found out that Jason Byrne is on the show ....

Ol' Donie

Did we need a new version of Fairytale of New York? Was the Shane McGowan one not quite right or something?

Owryan

So Jason Byrne who has been done for driving without a licence gets a chance to pimp his latest whatever he has done.

Wonder will ryan ask him about his court date or will they do what rte does best and go for the soft, fluffy chat

Shane used some offensive words in his version. That has now been rectified.

Ronan Keating already rectified it and we all preferred Shane

Would you prefer this version?

You are clearly short of money,
And you like Seventies music similar to that once produced by the Sex Pistols,
And you, it has to be said, appear to be a woman of loose morals with a heroin problem,
Evidenced by the fact that you’re in hospital and on a drip to boot,
You’re not a nice person and you remind me of an insect of the kind people often use when they go fishing,
You are not expensive and you are possibly homosexual not that there’s anythiing wrong with that,
Happy Christmas/Hannukah/Ramadan/Winter Solstice* my bottom,
I pray to God/Buddah/Muhhamed/Yahweh/Nobody at all that we don’t have another one.

Agricola

N'awful pity Jason Byrne's "Da" didn't have a vasectomy about 50 years ago!

keith_sixteen

I wish it was Ed Sheeran was the one getting a vasectomy.

Brendan plugging his annual winter show I presume- he asks at his concerts how many people got tickets as presents- most of the audience put their hands up

Lol that's much better. I was at Feile back in the 90's. August I think but definatly summer time. I was watching the pogues do their stuff and then uncredited Kristy MacColl walks out on stage and anounces "Christmas comes twice to Tipperary this year" Then they sang Fairytale of New York. It was awesome. I don't mind people doing covers but no one will ever take that song away from Shane and Kristy.

The Guy Smiley of interviewer. Although Guy would be far more interesting.

sligojoek

Catch yez later folks. Time for pints.

Rock Lesnar

When the mother told me Jason Bourne was on, for a split second i taught matt damon would actually appear, i really should have known better that it would be that Jason Byrne

Ol' Donie

If ever there was a job for them Threadstone or Blackbriar or whatever those lads were called, it's Jason Byrne.

Pam, get me an asset in Donnybrook. Now, Pam!

Rock Lesnar

Think i just spotted wally

Grace will be so much funnier

Ol' Donie

D'you remember at Christmas when yer Da would fall asleep in front of the telly?

DO YIS REMEMBER THA'?

WASN'T THAT MAD!?

Welsh Megaman

Getting the misery slot out of the way first

Welsh Megaman

It's like he's killing Christmas

dirkmeister

a mad year....I thought he'd mention the old driving court case

monkey9

I'll literally be turning off when Sheeran sings Fairytale. I'm just not listening to it.

Vorenus400

Ah the old "Having a vasectomy to cover for driving while uninsured" cover

Ol' Donie

IS HIS ENTIRE GIG JUST SHOUTING?

Welsh Megaman

Not enough Merlot in the world.

Clonmel1000

Hate is not a word I like but this guy surpasses hate he invokes feelings of violence in me and I’m not a violent man.

Rock Lesnar

I'll never criticise Syl Fox jokes again

Dont forget that Irish people are MAD and do you remember the 80s and how MAD it was growing up

Ol' Donie

Rock Lesnar wrote: »

Ah, f*ck, I'd love a few jokes now.

forgodssake

Ed Sheeran needs to do one now I think . Fairytale of New York is an iconic song . Leave it !

Welsh Megaman

Nothing worse than a comedian laughing at their own jokes.

See also: Greg Davies, the Liveline Funny Friday crew.

Rock Lesnar

I say it everytime this guy is on, but Dave Allen really was on a different planet to these lads when it comes to comedy

Ol' Donie

You know the way anyone who was ever in Fr Ted just gets asked about it all the time?

Why is this guy an exception? It'd be miles better than anything else he ever says.

SEPT 23 1989

God help him he is somebody's child

I was going to thank your post Auto (as is the polite way when somebody enters the thread).

Then I read the second sentence.

Vorenus400

Are jason Byrne and Ryan good friends? Jason seems to be on this show fairly regular

Rock Lesnar

I cant decide what is worse, his comedy or tubridy's laughing at it

monkey9

I passed by Tubridy walking into Hodges & Figgis as he was walking out the other day.

So that was my week.
