The Late Late Show - 27th. March 2020

Welsh Megaman

This week's edition of 'The Late Late Show' pays tribute to the men and women of Ireland's National Frontline Services who have been bravely leading the fight to slow down and treat the spread of Coronavirus.

Following what promises to be a very special opening segment at the top of the show, viewers around the country will be invited to join in a collective round of applause for our frontline service heroes.

Also on Friday’s show, global superstar Hozier will launch an emergency on-air appeal for the ISPCC who are experiencing an upsurge in calls to Childline.

Hozier will perform an exclusive set, live in studio, and promote a new initiative between ISPCC and RTÉ 2FM, where top Irish artists are performing across 2FM every night for a fortnight to raise funds.

Caroline O'Sullivan from the ISPCC will be there with helpful advice for parents who are dealing with children affected by the current situation.

Lee Duffy, a young, fit and healthy League of Ireland footballer, will talk about about his harrowing experience when he contracted Coronavirus and was hospitalised. Luckily, Lee has now made a full recovery and will be in studio to issue a plea to the young people of Ireland to heed warnings regarding social gatherings.

'Mrs Brown's Boys' stars Brendan O'Carroll and wife Jennifer Gibney will be talking via Skype link from Florida, and comedian Dara Ó Briain will join the show from London.

Former Irish Rugby International Brian O'Driscoll will also be on tomorrow's show, as well as legendary GAA commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.

All of this, plus more, only on The Late Late Show, RTÉ One, Friday at 9.35pm.

Bualadh Bos for all front line workers, PPE would be better if we could help fund, Tubs get his rich RTE mates to help, surely Bono and Hozier could donate a few bob, if there was a go fund me, I would be happy to donate

Yes she will be doing it tonight. Which means that, counting stand in presenters, she will be the 5th in total and the first ever female LLS host.

6th actually - Frank Hall presented it for a year in the 60s. Or so Wikipedia tells me...

Lee Duffy...

He contracted the virus in Italy, after ignoring the warnings and bragged on social media that he got it and would get over it because he's fit.

Best of luck to Mir, and get well soon Tubs


In these difficult times we need a line of succession planned out for the LLS to avoid Civil War breaking out, like the British Royal Family do


Maybe next in line

1 Brendan O'Connor
2 Tommy Tiernan
3 Eh, I don't know really. Not Ray Darcy

Joe Duffy? Maybe Oliver Callan? He has been filling in for Tubridy on the radio the last few days this week.

Jesus, I usually need to come up with am excuse for the missus to make her not watch this. Now, I wont have to say another word other than Miriam & my work will be done.

She really is absolutely appalling. Couldn't hack a couple of hours of her front and centre

KevRossi

Surpised they didn't give it to Lottie Ryan.

OMG! That's just soooooooooooooo amayzing!!

If a few more RTE presenters are affected by the virus her turn might not be too far away.

The feminists, just like everyone else, have more important things to be concerned about right now.

CFlat

I think Jennifer Zapperella would make a good host. Lighten the show up a bit. Make it more like Norton and not all about misery and death. People need to be entertained of a Friday evening after a long week.......well on Social Protection at the moment lol

That made me think who the hell could take over, even from Master Tubridy who is generally hopeless.

There are very few when you think of it and maybe O'Connor and O'Callaghan are top dogs right now?

Jaysus.


Duffy, Darcy are woeful, Tiernan is not right for it.


What about John Creedon?
Anyone else?

Muahahaha

Looked at the link. So funny.

Galwayguy35

I think she was a good choice to fill in for Tubirdy, I thought the chat show she did during the summer wasn't bad.

MOR316

Be nice if RTE invested their time in recruiting some new talent for the future, instead of resorting to nepotism most of the time

"Do you have a love life in your own life?" she asked once.

I beg to differ with your opinion

I hope Mir begins her reign by instructing her subjects at home to Stay There! for the good of the nation

Well - lets get locked down with the Late Late.

Maybe Ryan regrets bringing in all the health care workers last week - most didn't have masks on.

Lot of people in media are getting it

FixdePitchmark

As in get locked

Nationwide was fierce shouty this evening.

Well, +1 already for Miriam in the ad for the show.
No simpering, cringing clarion calls.
(So far)

Icsics

Surely there are other presenters besides MOC who could step up, she’s been on Prime Time all week
