The Late Late Show - 8th. May 2020

Welsh Megaman

Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan and U2 bassist Adam Clayton are among the guests lined-up to chat to Ryan Tubridy on this week's edition of 'The Late Late Show'.

Ireland's James Bond and star of films such as 'The Thomas Crown Affair', 'Mrs Doubtfire', 'Mamma Mia!' and the hit TV show 'Remington Steele' will be speaking to Ryan from Hawaii. Pierce will talk about growing up in Navan, and reveal which Irish actors he would like to see following in his footsteps as the next 007.

U2's Adam Clayton will be chatting to Ryan from his Dublin home about his experiences in lockdown, and the importance of looking after your mental health.

In the absence of the 'Darkness Into Light' walk this year due to Covid-19 restrictions, Elaine Austin, CEO Pieta House, will be live in studio to discuss the impact the loss of the fundraising event is having on the charity, and their efforts to raise money via their Sunrise Appeal this weekend. Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese will share her hopes for Ireland in the aftermath of the pandemic, as well as her support for Pieta House’s 'Darkness Into Light' campaign.

In 1992, the compilation album 'A Woman's Heart' was released, going on to sell nearly a million copies worldwide. Mary Black, Mary Coughlan, Frances Black and Sharon Shannon will be live in studio, to give a number of very special performances from one of the most loved Irish music albums ever released.

Commander Chris Hadfield, the Candian astronaut who is no stranger to isolation given his long stints aboard the International Space Station, will be on hand to give some tips on enduring long stints away from family and friends.

'The Late Late Show', RTE One, tonight at 9.35pm.

Stuck in Hawaii the poor fecker.

And here’s me complaining about been stuck in Borris-in-Ossory.

Pierce is two days younger than me, and he still has all his hair (the Bast*rd!)

Will Saoirse Ronan be one of them?

Gods Gift

Leo from Fair City would make a great 007.

fryup

and yet still no..........Matt Damon ????

James Brown

'Remington Steele" ffs... was Ryan even born?
That is not a bad line up. Gay would have had a section on Varadkar referring to Northern Ireland as being 'overseas' today.

Ol' Donie

Did you know that for every episode of Frasier you watch on the RTE player, you get to watch that Arranmore ad one hundred and fifty times?

Ol' Donie

Feels like I haven't been here in ages.

May I just take this opportunity to wish you all well, I hope you are all coping okay with the pain in the face that is lockdown.

Tonight, I shall be mostly enjoying Brewdog Punk IPA. Well, 2 of them. Then it's back to the usual Lidl's finest.

Evening all

Back for first time in a while - have found the show terrible in this format.

Have been getting very drunk on Zoom with friends instead.

sonofenoch

The weekly Irish Queen's address to the nation...

When Mary macaleese comes on I’m going to go outside and hide in the hedge with scraws of grass wedged in my ears.

Not a fan of mcaleese. Will have a fag break then

Ol' Donie

Just as well Chris Hedfield (Hadfield?) has some charisma. He's dangerously close to getting the dreaded LLS frequent flier card.

FixdePitchmark

this speech is terrible.

I thought Tubs was going to jettison himself off into space for a moment. No such luck.

DrGreenThumb82

Mary McArse and Only A Woman's Heart...jaysus I'll probably need Pieta House by the end of this.

Ol' Donie

Is Ryan all back to normal after the 'rona?






Certainly seems like it.

Did you know that without the ads RTE Player is actually working like a Swiss clock, science experiment I have done so to speak

Ooh la la, if only I could tune in, unfortunately have some High Gloss Fleetwood to observe first.

RTE misery cult

Atlantic Dawn

Suicides in the coming months in this country will be many multiples of the Covid deaths.

Cody montana

He’s so insincere.

I’m out!

passremarkable

Another speech
Says we don’t talk about mental health
That’s all the late late is these days
I know it’s an important issue but it is spoken about no this show regularly

DrGreenThumb82

Someone needs to send a memo to RTE that it is Friday night and people want entertainment FFS.

FixdePitchmark

Fairly cool dude.

Ol' Donie

That's as cool as anyone out of U2 has ever looked.

Doctors room ghost

Atlantic Dawn

I'd eh doubt he would have any problem jumping in a private jet to get home.

SEPT 23 1989

He looks like the homeless lad who had the radio voice in America

Mena Mitty

Love the Kenny Rogers look.

Evening all !

donkeykong5

Health care professional running the country... wtf

FixdePitchmark

Heard him on Tommy Tiernan show - and was an amazing interview.

Look - I love Bono - but we could have done with more of Adam talking over the years.

Very interesting

I'd love to see someone on zoom with a fridge or a cooker in the background.

Reading is great but there are a lot of other things in life.
