Late Late Show Good Friday 2018

Skid X

The Pubs are open - WaaHay!

Are you going out - Meh, probably not


And why would you leave the house?, sure you would be crucified if you were to miss this eggstravagansa


Bob Geldof, still Knight of The British Empire but no longer a Freeman of Dublin demanded that Dublin take back his freemanship and then got cross when they wouldn't give it back. So he's no longer a Freeman of Dublin and if you see him walking his sheep through the city, ring the Guards or Liveline immediately. Anyway, he's on tonight.


Bryan Dobbo Dobson is the former Six One Anchor now forced to get up in the middle of the night to present Morning Ireland on the radio. He is generally considered a good egg by anyone who knows him. If he was a woman he'd probably still have the Big gig on the telly but the RTE Director General isn't having any of that.


Legendary Singer Finbar Furey is still going strong with a new record deal and a new album out. Good man Finbar.


Maeve Higgins is a Cork Comedian who has resurrected her career in America and is doing well, apparently. Well done Maeve. This will be "Trump is evil" part of tonight's show, I think.


Home of the Year judges Hugh Wallace, Deirdre Whelan and Patrick Bradley do the obligatory RTE plug of the week. At this point in time I have to nail my colours to the mast and admit that I was wrong about Julian from Dancing with the Stars last week. I watched it back and it was a very good interview with an interesting guest


Music from Relish, Westlife once did a cover of one of their songs and released it as a single. Honestly.


Nothing says Easter like Rescued Donkeys and we will see Donkeys in good health after being rescued by a charity. Aaaah, that's nice.



So there you are, maybe the guest standard is rising, maybe not.

Only two more months of this until the Summer, and no Mir show this year. Enjoy it while you can ...

Any chance Tubridy will challenge or allow someone from the audience to challenge Gob Beldof?

Or would Gobby not allow that?

Tubridy: "Hey Bob, why is that you kept your freedom of London and knighthood, that you share with this woman, but then rang up the media to witness you give back your Dublin one?"

That would be a start.

Geldof claimed he was a victim of a "Sinn Féin stitch up",
any chance RTÉ would allow a debate with one of their members.

I wonder whether Geldof interview is live as Ray Darcy mentioned yesterday on his show that he saw Bob in the RTE studio that day

Bob Geldof and Maeve Higgins?

Thank christ the pubs are open this Good Friday after all.

Three snobs who are literally paid to walk around inside peoples houses and critique how much of a "home" they are. What the hell is a "home of the year"? What a completely meaningless accolade.

EICVD

So there’s nobody doing a book signing in Easons tomorrow?

The donkeys are with me.

The Bob Geldof interview is pre-recorded...

http://www.broadsheet.ie/2018/03/30/i-dont-want-to-be-associated-with-this-pig/

Probably because the producers wanted tonight’s show to run Like Clockwork.






I’ll see myself out.

Good jaysus do we have to listen to another rant/moan session form Geldof on LLS again and Maeve Higgins, dont find her funny at all, apparently the Yanks dont get her sense of humour either, her jokes went down like a lead balloon lol, that said the Yanks dont get jokes or parody imo

Samsgirl

Maeve Higgins is as amusing as a dose of the trots.

Do you know Suzie, the barmaid? I hear she’s so modern:P

On a similar note, watching Britain’s Favorite Food on CH 4 - completely forgot about Ski youghurt

Who’s grazing his sheep on Stephens Green in his absence?

Ol' Donie

Question for Sir Bob:

Which is a bigger crime against humanity, all that craic in Africa, or putting the bleeding Boomtown Rats in between The Darkness and Queen at Marlay Park?

Makes me absolutely sick.

Bob lives in the RTE studio between LLS appearances. It makes it easier for him to keep a low profile. However, he does get bored and moves around a little and that's why you see him the odd time as an extra on Fair City and he does vox pops with different voices for Morning Ireland. He has also been a cameraman on Room to Improve and provides Dermot with some much needed pep talks when the going gets tough.

But, but ... how is she in the pub having already done her interview?

She must be a witch, We should drown her or crucify her for the day that's in it.

God damn time travelling witch, BURN HER!!!

Samsgirl

Can we just burn her anyhow?!!

Skid X

Them lads on the news in the Philippines who get nailed to the cross every Good Friday

That's a bit hardcore.

I hope at least one of them sings Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, just to break the tension.

Spanish Eyes

Seriously who remembers what guests were on the show say three weeks ago for example?

It is a two hour wonder. For those who like looking at at a human greyhound presenter to boot!

It is all forgotten the next week, really it is.

I'm always up for burning someone!

Yeah the donkeys!

EPAndlee

I assume Finbar is going sing something depressing, wouldn't mind hearing him belt out Chop Suey or Duality just something a bit lively

Welsh Megaman

Evening all

I see the Friday night city beat has already started.

:pac:

Rock Lesnar

Bob Geldof will be here..........yesterday

Skid X

"Maeve Higgins will tell us about learning to drive ..."



Ha, those eejits that went out tonight are going to feel very silly when they hear they missed that.

Berserker

Evening all. Sir Bob is on. Guessing the rats are going to be playing in Dublin soon. Animals, what can go wrong!

They pubs will empty out very quickly when they get word of it.

Valentina

Donkeys!

*squeeeee*

Welsh Megaman

What an ass.


How did he get to present the LLS? :cool:

Rock Lesnar

The Donkey looks miserable, hes missing out in standing in a mucky field for this

donkeykong5

Suit too tight ryan

Arghus

I'll watch the donkeys.

Donkeys are the most lovely animals.

EPAndlee

I genuinely feel so sorry for these donkeys

Atlantic Dawn

Is there not licencing and chipping for donkeys? Irresponsible owners should be locked up.

Rock Lesnar

This is clearly getting the misery slot out of the way early

Skid X

Why doesn't Donkey rhyme with Monkey ??

ANDREWMUFC

Tinkers shouldn’t be allowed to own these poor animals.
