Late Late Show 08/11/19

SEPT 23 1989

This just shows how poor the show is now

RIP Gay

Welsh Megaman

Memories...of when the LLS was good.

Gods Gift

Was jimmy saville there??

FixdePitchmark

Never too Late Late

So the week is gone
The day is done
The sun on the bay
For our uncle Gay

He asked us the questions
For us to find answers
He gave our mothers an ear
Away from control and fear

We all face loss and even death
But need an ear, don't give up yet
As Gay would want , The show goes on
After the Owl goes , a new day dawns

We have changed, for better and worse
The Irish condition , a terrible curse
But behind the anger , begrudgery, hate
I love this country , the people are great


Off the top of head - and wine included.

Thanks Gay.
Well done Ryan
And RTE.

Ryan doing his very very best to squeeze out a crocodile tear or two there, couldn't quite manage it though.

Who was that female guest in the montage with the huge black/white hair? :eek:


Or was it Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P?

Instead of fooking around with RTE1+1 and RTE2+2 sheite when they have the RTE Player they should have launched an RTE Gold channel showing content 5 years plus old from the old catalogue, loads of old stuff there would be interest in. No vision, no change, no future with current management, broken to the core.

RIP Gaybo but what on earth was the last bit of tonights late late show? They showed very little of Gaybo and snippets of so many other people. I would have much preferred to see snippets of Gaybo.

FixdePitchmark

:(OK he could get me here

elperello

I enjoyed the show tonight.
Foolish notion I know but it almost seemed Gay was there like an invisible guiding force.

Have you seen that episode of the sopranos? Wasnt Tony always a hypocrite?

Why did they just play clips of people on the show and not actually Gay? They really could have done better tonight to honour him.

When tubridy dies they'll have a similar tribute ... But it'll be all clips of Dermot Bannon. Looking slightly older in each one.

Welsh Megaman

Till tomorrow night, folks!

Yes it was great TV. To be fair RTE did show it.

I would have preferred complete reruns of the best Late Late’s every Friday night for the next few weeks

God, repeats of old late late shows with Gaybo - that would be brilliant.

I can't watch the RTE player on my tv though, occasionally +1 comes in useful.

I agree about the RTE Gold though, would be fantastic.

FixdePitchmark

OK , pub for the great man - 2 pints.

Ol' Donie

He wasn't a hypocrite at all. He was raising this as a point with his psychiatrist and it's a fair question to raise.

I met Samantha Power's paternal grandfather on a few occasions many years ago.He used to visit neighbours of my parents.He was an intelligence officer in the army during World War 2 and was based in the army barracks in Athlone.

Does RTE have any suggestion box or email type of thing because reruns of the old late late show would be brilliant.


Someone here mentioned the idea of an RTE Gold channel. That would be fantastic. Wanderly wagon could go in there along with some old rte shows and other oldies like highway to heaven and the flying doctors.

great idea..........

... until they start repeating episodes from the Tubridy era.

Probably best not to suggest that.

Even in death Gay Byrne was the star of RTE this week.Rest in peace Gay.
