Is the late late show an entertainment show?

badabing106

One segment of "entertainment" and three or four segments of "sorrowful" makes it less of an entertainment show and more of the opposite

maybe misery sells better and goes 10 times further emotionally, And is more of a sure thing than entertain stuff

It's anything but an entertainment show.

Rte know people get excited its the weekend so they make a show about death and misery to keep us in check

Plenty on tv forum rubbing one out so yes must be op.

Franz Von Peppercorn

Some Irish people do like misery though.

I know norton is Irish but he subscribes to the radical BBC idea that Friday night entertainment be entertaining. I was watching him once and Michael Douglas cane on. Graham congratulated him on being free of cancer and moved on. A while later Douglas is telling an interesting story and getting the laughs in. After a while I switch to RTE where some charmed British celeb is crying over a breakup years back. I think it was Amanda Holden.

Ryan just wanted to suck the misery out of a woman who is generally chirpy. Graham wanted to get the laughs in.

That’s the LLS for you. I watch the toy show. That’s it.

Eurovision: Tubridy will be talking with some of Ireland's most famous contestants including Paul Harrington, Charlie McGettigan and Linda Martin as they perform some of the contest's biggest hits. And they’ll be taking part in a game of ‘Eurovision Spin and Sing’ alongside Jake Carter, Ronan Johnston and Rory Cowan.


Dave and Steve Flynn- The Happy Pear twins will be in studio to chat about their ever expanding vegan food empire and how to convince younger eaters that veggies are not only good for them but tasty too.

Professor John Crown and health editor Susan Mitchell- They're going to discuss the continuing fallout from the Cervical Check controversy.

Gordon Snell - It has been six years since the much-loved Maeve Binchy died and her book Minding Frankie is making its stage debut. On Friday night, her husband Gordon Snell joins Ryan Tubridy to chat about life with Maeve during their 35 year marriage, what it has been like since her passing and the impact her work continues to have on audiences around the world.

Margaret and Shannon Keady - Galway hurling legend Tony Keady died suddenly last year sending shockwaves across the sport. A few months before his death, Tony had started to tell his story to sportswriter Liam Hayes, including his dramatic departure from the Galway team, and since his passing his family has decided to continue that work. His wife Margaret and daughter Shannon will tell viewers why they wanted to finish Tony's story.

Debbie Cole and Dominique Meehan - Both of these women are victims of rape who went public to raise awareness and, in Debbie’s case, campaign for laws to lengthen the sentences given to rapists who repeat offend. Both women will share their traumatic experiences and the impact that their individual attacks have had on their lives.

‘Big’ John Hayes - The fisherman from Howth who travelled to Mozambique to live and work alongside a local fisherman for The Hardest Harvest, will chat about what it was like to find himself fishing with just a line and some bait on a tiny boat far out into the Indian Ocean.

Plus music from Dublin four piece State

RTE are experts in misery porn.

It is a conspiracy with the alcohol companies, the misery drives people to alcohol.

It used to be. When Gay Byrne was presenting (and also producing), and they had some decent guests or an interesting argument broke out between panelists, he'd ask for extra time and the show could go on beyond midnight.

Good on the copy and paste.

Well, all I can say is at least Gaybo tried to be impartial on the topic of day, mostly, one thing Tubridy Cleary couldn't care less about. Virtue signalling to his flock always his chief motivation.

Irish people like misery more Tha ln British people, or maybe misery sells better and goes 10 times further emotionally, And is more of a sure thing than entertain stuff

Everything RTE does seems to all about the people of Ireland. Real life tragedy stories on the LLS, Nationwide, Sport, News & current Affairs, all taking top priority. All interesting no doubt but just all way overdone. Even TV commercials seem to be the same way.

Irish Guitarist

Years ago when Pat Kenny was presenting it he did an interview with Ike Turner. He was talking about the time he was twelve and had sex with a woman in her forties. Pat Kenny said to him "so you were abused?". Ike Turner said something like "you can call it abuse if you like but back then we just called it fun". The audience briefly laughed before stopping themselves.

It was one of the greatest moments on Irish television ever. I wish I could find a clip on YouTube.

backspin.
