Late Late Show 15/11/19

Storm 10

Not looking good tonight in fact very boring they must be losing a lot of viewers with line ups like this certainly not as the Renault sponsor add says "Thrilling Entertainment"

Joining Ryan Tubridy on the couch will the family of the late Brendan Grace.
The comedian's wife Eileen and daughters Melanie and Amanda are due to discuss coming to terms with Brendan's death.

Award-winning crooner Harry Connick Jr will also be in studio, teaming up RTÉ Symphony Orchestra for a special performance.

Climate change will also be tackled. The young Irish people with answers to the climate question will be in studio as 50 members of RTÉ's Youth Assembly on Climate chat to Tubridy

Mary Black will be on the couch to chat and also perform alongside the RTÉ Symphony Orchestra.

And finally, art from Banksy and Andy Warhol will be on display as Tubridy speaks to presenter-turned-artist Thelma Mansfield about this weekend's art fair

James Brown

That's poor. Harry Connick Jnr. should be good. Mary Black is grand.
Lots of time for Thelma. She once signed an autograph 'Derek Davis' for a pal of mine for the craic.
The Brendan Grace piece will be flat and sad.
The weekend starts here....

PsychoPete

Where are the cute puppy and kitten pictures ?

Noel Grealish should be on instead of the climate change brats.

I agree, likely for different reasons.

And Clifford Lee.

He does look Emotional, let’s be honest. :cool:

It's a wonder Westlife have not been on the show since they announced their comeback? They even have a new album out this week. Also Nicky being part of RTE with DWTS and 2fm

Certainly looks like the party's over, after way too much celebration.

Harry Connick has his own chat show for a number of years. He’ll walk all over Turbidy.

Welsh Megaman

Thirty years down the line, and Pudsey the Bear still hasn’t had his eye fixed.


NHS waiting lists and all that.

Rock Lesnar

Jaws on sky movies at the minute, haven't seen that film in about.......3 weeks

Wont be watching again tonight, netflix is taking over my RTE weekend viewing thankfully

Skid X

Harry Connick Jnr appeared as a Judge on an Australian Show 'hey hey it's Saturday' a few years ago and got highly offended by a Blackface Act (not unreasonably

So don't be trying any cheap racist stunts like that tonight, Tubs. Just saying.

I dare say he might be like our presenter in later years. Think of other presenters, eg early quiz show, in later years.

I get wound up** when Gerry starts the Weather by plugging Science Week or the Photo Competition or sign the card for Evelyn's Birthday or whatever

We are here for the weather, get on with it



** Although to be fair, it gets me warmed up wound up for Tubs

Glebee

Time to roll out the RTE orchestra to try to prove that they are worth the money that it costs to run it..

A few people there in fairness would be fine- Harry, Mary Black, Grace Family should be all good - problem is it's very heavily weighted on the Arts this evening so a bit over-kill - we've had the Mary Black documentary earlier this year on TV so very little new; I like Thelma but again just too OTT arty this evening - misery slot is climate change which I guess makes a change from cancer: P

Evening all

Welsh Megaman

Atlantic Dawn is about to put a brick thru the TV screen.

Say Your Number

Murph from Second Captains sitting behind Tubs there?

Ha Ha- I missed that- of COURSE- Ryan is plugging the RTE orchestra in light of the news last week around cutbacks- I GET it!

SEPT 23 1989

Don’t pay for the orchestra and you go to jail

Clap clap

mugsymugsy

She's better than Tubs! Sign her up

taytobreath

Awwwww it’s the toy showwwwww

He sounds louder.. and a bit like his voice has been altered to sound more like old Gaybo

NIMAN

Something special in the air?

It's a pretty bland looking line-up. What's so special?

Welsh Megaman

No seriously Ryan, go home.

PsychoPete

''10 years old is good for me" Jesus be careful Ryan

SEPT 23 1989

They all seem to have the robotic yank twang

sligojoek

Straight in with a 'Young Person'.

Neames

Walk to school each Friday?

How about walk every day?

Doctors room ghost

Conservationists and half them travelling up to Dublin in the back of a jeep.
Leo the boll1x being driven around in a big lump of a bmw

Welsh Megaman

She doesn't appear nervous, doesn't need cue cards...


Ryan, take note

walshb

We really need to to end this “childish” Sh1t taking over the “climate.”

Skid X

Unless most of China were watching RTE today and had an epiphany about Climate Change, what is the point?

taytobreath

I like that rte are doing this climate change recognition thing all this week, fair fks to them

Andrew00

Very small audience this evening.

They closed off the back few rows it seems

I’m hoping Mary black goes off on a rant.
Can be a loose canon at times.

SEPT 23 1989

A bunch of children were in the Dail solving climate change. Will be interesting to see how they feel about climate change when they can't afford a home or have to emigrate due to a recession. Who is pushing this climate change stuff in the schools?

Welsh Megaman

Climate Change!

peadar76

Very admirable and all that, but shouldn't they be sitting in a field drinking cans? Annoying little f#ckers

Doctors room ghost

Doors on fridges?
Was that not done in the 70’s.

walshb

Fook that, what about the waste of energy opening the poxy doors..
