Late Late SHow 20/11/20

Storm 10

Ryan Tubridy will be joined by Back to the Future star Michael J Fox on Friday's Late Late Show on RTÉ One.
Fox will look back at his key movies, talk about the work of his foundation - which is researching a cure for Parkinson's disease - and how he is very much looking forward to turning 60.

Also appearing on Friday night's show will be former President of Ireland Mary Robinson. "It's 30 years since she was elected President of Ireland," said Tubridy. "What an extraordinary time when you think back on that historic win." They will also discuss Covid, climate change and the US Presidential election.

Irish Women in Harmony - including Ruth Anne, Aimée, Moya Brennan, Sibeal, Laoise and Erica Cody - will share their "gorgeous" Christmas song, Together at Christmas, in aid of the ISPCC. There will be more music from Dublin rapper Malaki, with his unique take on Van Morrison's Someone Like You.

Social media favourites the Flemings will discuss how they've been keeping their spirits up in Kerry, and there will also be a look at the stunning collection of images from the book Old Ireland in Colour.

Nice to see Parkinson's disease added to the misery this week.

Mary Robinson bladdering on and Tubirdy fawning over her behind his desk, good to see what my license fee is being used for.

What a revolting little comment. Do grow up.

It's true though, RTE do love their misery porn unfortunately.

Seriously, what’s miserable about having one of the biggest stars of the 80’s and 90’s on a chat show?

He’s still acting brilliantly in Good Wife, he lights up the screen when he’s in it and an incredible advocate for his disability.

mistersifter

Disease, covid and the US election.

Didn't see any of that coming!

Muahahaha

You know what, the pandemic has meant we get a far better quality of guest on the Late Late. If it wasnt for it we would be getting Jake Carter for the third time this year rather than Michael J Fox. Shame its Tubs interviewing him but you cant win them all.

She might yet trouser a few million by building a Biden museum.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ryan's response to the elephant in the RTÉ building. He'll be relieved he wasn't in the picture.

I haven't counted, but I think it'd be more than the 3rd time for Jakey.

And, of course, you've jinxed it now.

Mary Robinson. Ugh.

Oh no, it'll be all about the Parkinsons. He's rubbing one out at the thought of it.

Aside from that, Turgidity wouldn't have a clue who Pat Fox is. Had a happy afternoon in the pub there a couple of years ago after we were rained off with the ploughing.

God, I hadn't noticed it but can never unsee it now & have to keep looking up at the top of the screen to torment myself further - won't someone think of the OCD victims

That's something you don't see very often.


Tubs probably wasn't invited.

Are there some guests missing from the OP?

Seem to be few enough guests.

Has Deirdre O'Kane been on to talk about her show before?

Not only are you told who is on but exactly what they'll talk about. Why would anyone bother to watch.

I cringed for her and the other man when they apologised. I hate Covid and why people need to say sorry for being people.

She has to be asked about this, if RTE has any credibility as a news organisation. Though I think that ship may have sailed today. Mask Hand Stand indeed, RTE.

Because these people have been virtue signalling for the last nine months and telling the rest of us that we are responsible for not wearing masks. Turns out they don't actually believe that COVID is dangerous themselves, and they don't believe the medical experts Luke O'Neill / Sam McConkey / etc etc.

Telling everybody else to stay at home and not go to work, while they break the rules and keep their lifetime jobs. I actually think they should lose their jobs. After all they were calling for others to lose their jobs for similar.

Gaybo used to keep it a complete mystery, hard to do nowadays I suppose, but Ryan takes the entire curiosity out of it.

The RTE presenters weren’t telling anyone what to do.

People are losing the run of themselves.

Even NPHET aren’t telling people what to do, or not to do. They’re asking, or advising.

RTE are reporting.

Ah here, don’t be calling Sam an expert at all - he’s a grade A ****ing spoofer!

Ryan's pontificating intro should be interesting

Ol' Donie

That ad for Oral B. Some thoughts:

A. When you say "I know how to keep my body healthy", is there any more to that than bum & hips? Y'know, heart and that? Just, like, if you were to describe someone as healthy, would that mean you are confirming their arse and hips are grand, nothing else in this conversation?

B. When you say "but how do I keep my mouth healthy?" did you really, honestly need to go to a dentist to learn the answer is toothpaste?

Is there a cure for Ryan Tubridy?

They were quick to jump all over the golfgate attendees.

Tell us how they were wrong blah blah.

He's reading his radio thread.

Tubs should throw a curveball and ask every single question to MJ about Family Ties

Although he would probably then ask if Alex would still be a Republican and if he thinks Trump will go peacefully.

I would like if he did a U.S. late night talk show jokey bit at the start. Talking the piss out of politicians and that.

I mean, I don't think it'd be good or anything, but the thread would lap it up.

They better not make any sequels of Back To The Future, they would destroy it with PC rubbish.

One of my favourite jokes in back to the future is how puzzled doc gets anytime Marty says "this is heavy"

generalgerry

In case nobody knows what a top guy Michael J Fox is have a look at this episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where he takes the p1ss out of himself. He has a row with Larry and then "accidentally shakes" Larrys' soda, which then goes all over him.
