Storm 10

Ryan Tubridy has announced that Irish screen legend Gabriel Byrne will discuss the reasons behind writing his revealing autobiography at the age of 70.

Andrea Bocelli will be among his guests on the Late Late Show Fans of Italian singer Bocelli are promised "a very special performance of a beloved song". There will also be music on the night from The Coronas, who will perform their latest single.

Talk show host Conan O'Brien will be joining the Late Late to discuss "his proud Irish heritage, his hugely successful podcast, and whether Donald Trump is a guest he may want to interview in the future".

Immunologist Professor Luke O'Neill will be in studio to discuss the latest Covid vaccine developments.

Ryan Tubridy will meet Lily Collison to hear about her part in the success of Stripe founders John and Patrick Collison. She will also share how the siblings' younger brother Tommy overcame adversity.

To mark the centenary of Bloody Sunday next weekend, the Late Late studio will be hosting part of Croke Park's museum exhibition. The Bloodied Field author Michael Foley will take viewers through the events of that day and their impact.

Pat Kenny has him on nearly everyday. At least out of the whole covid doom dream team of mcconkey, holohan and george lee hes the most upbeat cheery one of the lot

I think this might be Conan O'Brien's first time working with Irish Television since he did this bit for TV3's new season launch in 2013

It was nice of Conan to spend time promoting the show which was shown on 3e or the other one late at night. He made a big effort, he made some gags with the TV3 guy. He probably had better things to be doing.

TV3 stopped showing Conan a few months later.

You'd be upbeat and cheery if you had his money!

Surely be to god Gabriel has a deceased relative or two, ole Tubs will get the horn for that anyway-thus fulfilling the misery quota for his key interview

Bocelli is blind of course-expect THAT to dominate the interview, a la Gordon Brown's glass eye. (Anyone remember THAT one?)

Conan's parents are apparently both alive and well, which is a happy consequence for any right thinking person, but not for Tubridy and RTE. Still, no doubt one of them broke a leg or lost a goldfish or something.

Tommy Collison suffers from cerebral palsy.

Also. COVID.

CH3OH

Any chance Andrea might sing " time to say goodbye" for Ryan?

Propostal for cost cutting measure to add to the list of cost cutting measures not taken by rte -

Send the following template to interviewees and have them email back their responses or record them on a WhatsApp voice note and just play them over a picture of them on screen.
Immediately this plan will massively reduce production costs on the late late and produce essentially the same results as what currently happens every week.

1. So this isnt your first time in Ireland? You have Irish connections? Tell us about what makes Ireland so great.
2. That was some year you guys had over there with the election, what do you think of Trump/Biden?
3. That was some year you guys had over there with the Covid, how are you / your industry coping?
4. I understand you have had a difficult time lately with your (family member) being sick with (illness), that must be so hard for you?
5. So your book/tv show/movie is out next week, tell us about it?

*if required play recordings of insincere lauging and banging the desk.

Have I ommitted anything?

Big Conan O'Brien fan, so I am. Love his podcast.

I'm predicting at least one jokey smartass comment to a nonsense question, and a considerable amount of not entirely genuine laughter.

If I reflect on it, conans schedule is the reverse of Tubridys, he does TV shows 4 nights a week, and a podcast roughly once per week. All of which vastly superior to Tubridys best work though is the key difference. As opposed to 5 or less radio shows and 1 tv show per week.

Seems like a decent line up tonight. It must be because there is no Graham Morton Show tonight for some reason

They are putting adverts on the television already for Christmas. It's the middle of poxy November. Lidl is basically just a food store with chainsaws in the middle aisle. Everything anybody buys there now stocking up for Christmas will have gone off by Christmas anyway and be f***ed in the bin. Who buys mince pies in November?

I seriously hope they’ve had the cop on not to include the most wished for, unavailable toys this year, and show some affordable toys considering that some poor feckers have had huge cuts to their income this year.

What are those small white marks on Lukes face?

That advert about the dogs trust is absolutely brilliant

Luke is actually a breath of fresh air in a mundane world of hysterical covid experts
