The Late Late Show 29/03/19

Elmo

1. Sean Cox Rehabilitation Trust is good, might even be a good chat with former footballers.
2. Riyadh and his parents join Ryan to explain what it was like to grow up as a gay kid in Ireland
3. In 1999, Guido Nasi was visiting Ireland for the first time when he was attacked in Dublin, leaving him with partial sight, and unable to walk or feed himself.
4. Ryan will also be joined by Colette Byrne, Venetia Quick and John Fitzsimons on adjusting to life after the death of their partners

1. Sad funding raising story.
2. LGBTQI story
3. Ireland killed me story
4. Something happened it made me sad story

I know, look all worthwhile discussion but it's a deluge of feeling every week. In some way TLLS is desperately trying to do what it did in it early years, forgetting the variety of other types of items. It's like as if they've decide every item has to have an issue attached.

The way I see it, this is how the LLS has changed over the years.

1) Used to be a lot of stars on it, on telling their stories and it was often a bit of craic
2) Stars stopped coming to Ireland, too small a market
3) LLS had to change, and started to get in Irish guests
4) Start adding a bit of misery into the mix cos we Irish are miserable buggers
5) The number of Irish guests became limited so had to look closer to home. Just started raiding the canteen at Montrose, and asking any RTE employee if they had any stories to tell. But keep a bit of misery, maybe even 2 stories that are sad.
6) So the weather staff, news anchors, sports commentators etc have been on so often and people can't watch Jason Byrne or Francis Brennan for a 5th time this series, so just stick an extra misery slot in.
..

.Future? All misery.

Thanks for heads up , I won’t be watching, can’t stand constant misery slots. Gay Byrne never did this kind of stuff, and if he did it was good and it was real , Ryan is fake. Like anything when you see too much of it you become desensitized, the misery slots don’t work anymore.

Soon to be made homeless, and looking for a new threads to joins...

He has a new series back, so might pop up

BobbyBobberson

My god that is woeful. I mean, the UK is not far away could they not fly some interesting guests in? Is the budget small or are the researchers poor?

Plus Graham Norton is still on hiatus Jonathan Ross must be getting them all

valoren

Now with the old reliable of having a "Dancing with the Stars" filler segment gone, it's moved on from having a misery slot to now having misery slots. It doesn't bode well.

I fear thats the way it'll go, as it makes for easy, and cheap, TV.

It'll have 3 misery and 1 entertainment slot at this rate.

Nah Ray D'Arcy got DWTS! also

1. Joe Brolly on Cystic Fibrosis
2. He also got Francis Brennan ...and Dermot Bannon.
3. Kilkenny woman Jenny Moylan on loosing weight
4. Pat Shortt

sligojoek

Jesus, that's bleak.

com1

Yessss. Delighted... herself is going out tonight so tlls wont be on in the background while i'm reading boards. Result!!!

James Brown

It's very easy to improve this horror.

A musical guest, got that, fine, maybe two as standard. Near beginning and at end.

A current news item. Not necessarily heavy, social, a trend, something in the news. Get people on to talk about, bring in the audience.

A celeb who has a film out or athlete who won something.

A postal/phone in quiz, got that. Fair enough.

A current political discussion. Get people on, bring in the audience.

If anyone is on to talk about loss it should be a national figure or from a national story currently in the news.

When good show's are stuck they get a guest on who has great stories to tell.

NIMAN

How many times can you have Francis Brennan and Dermot Bannon on?

Its turning into a joke with these shows at the minute.

Sure why don't they give Jason Byrne a call, see if he's free tonight for a chat?

Ha, yeah. Or Pat Shor...oh hang on.

The list of topics for tonight is absolutely remarkable for an entertainment show. Remarkable.

Ol' Donie

The bit about how people dealt with people close to them dying is just lazy.

In the sense that, normally they pretend the misery is part of a different story, this time they just couldn't be arsed pretending. We just want to talk about people dying, anything else is just by the by.

Comhrá

They might as well do a LLS Special, broadcast live from Glasnevin Cemetery, with the way they've become fixated with terminal illness, death & misery.

Glasnevin is a fair old stretch from Donnybrook. The mortuary at Vincent's is just 2 minutes up Nutley Lane and they could do a quick run around the wards looking for filler for the rest of the season while they are there.

A GoPro camera broadcasting live on the coffin from the moment it leaves the church until it goes straight in to the ground

sligojoek

Duffy and Paddy Gorman asking people how do they feel.

Ol' Donie

Been out of the loop for a few weeks.

How did Brexit go today?

It didn't, sort of kicked down the road for a few weeks for the next move.

Maximum misery show tonight.

sligojoek

Only Fools and horses, Jolly boys outing for me.

Laters dudes.

"It started on the Late Late Show"

Ol' Donie

That Lenor ad is gas.

What? These sheets were washed a week ago yet still smell like chemical soap? Wow, that sounds exactly like something I'd like to deal with when I'm trying to sleep.

I wonder what the research is like for that?

Do they put a notice up in the canteen asking for volunteers, or do the researchers ring up the recently bereaved "Sorry for your recent loss ... are you free on Friday night?"

The Riot police

Ol' Donie

For a break from the misery, can we have a poll about the clock changing thingy. 3 options.

Keep the clocks going back and forward.

Keep them the same.

Is it possible to go back in time to when the Late Late wasn't about misery all the time?

They are sleepwalking into a no deal exit on May 22nd. Britain no longer dictates the timetable on this. Only takes one other EU member to block an extension.

They need to form a cross party consensus on a workable comprehensive free trade/single market agreement which will allow the Brexit people get their fig leaf exit and minimise the friction caused to them and us. And be quick about it.

I was hoping that lamb would be presenting the show, alas it is not

Actually, change the poll. If we're going back in time, it's to punch David Cameron in his stupid face just as he's about to offer a referendum on this nonsense.

I'd like to hear Danny Dyer's opinion.

Marengo

I'd say John Delaney should get a mention tonight. Triggs will have a very erudite position on this.

Rock Lesnar

Look at that crowd all happy and lively, they're in for a shock

I'd say Jason McAteer has given 10,000 interviews for every cap he ever got.

Yeah whoop it up audience, let's see how you feel at 11.45pm.

An evening of fooking sadness....wtf..

Skid X

They should have a non misery section ... y'know just one token guest on to tell a few jokes or plug a film. With no mention of death or illness.
