The Late Late Show-Friday 15th January 2021

Pelvis Parsley

Time for our weekly dose of insincere pontification and misery.

Let us prepare ourselves.

Galway actor Nicola Coughlan will be chatting to Ryan about the success of new Netflix series 'Bridgerton' and giving us the latest update on the next series of the hilarious 'Derry Girls'.

Misery potential high here as she lost her dad. Bet he doesn’t bring it up though...

Irish acting stalwart Brenda Fricker, whose films include 'My Left Foot', 'The Field' and 'Home Alone 2' among many more, will also be joining Tubridy on tonight's show. The 75-year-old will be paying a special tribute to the woman and children of Ireland's Mother and Baby Homes following the publication of this week's Commission of Investigation report.

Double misery whammy here-Mother & Baby homes combined with Brendas personal tragedies will have Toyman pulling the chest out of himself.

Former champion boxer Barry McGuigan will be speaking to Ryan about how his family has been coping since the death of his daughter Danika in 2019. Danika, an actress known for her role in ''Can't Cope, Won't Cope', passed away at the age of 33 following a short illness.

They’re not even trying to hide it.

Also on the show tonight will be this year's Operation Transformation leaders. Hazel Haritgan, Susuana Komolafe, Paul Devaney, Andrew Burke-Hannon and Sharon Gaffney will be discussing their new lifestyle changes since joining the show.

Bound to be some personal tragedies with these people as well.

Music on the show tonight will be provided by Cork's very own LYRA who will be performing a special tribute to The Cranberries star Dolores O'Riordan who passed away this day 3 years ago.

And what else to top off the evening but, more death.

A full on misery fest tonight, no playing about
Think I’ll continue on my LLS streak and skip it again this week

Bridgerton is Ride and Prejudice

KevRossi

After the week that was, he'll have three people on having suffered recent breavements or talking about them. Along with this, Brenda Fricker on to talk about the homes (fair enough).

No illness there, unless he taps up Barry McGuigan about how his daughter died, or else he can squeeze out something from the OT contestants, like diabetes or similar.

It's insane how devoted they are to the whole illness and death thing and it only seems to get worse year after year. It has to be driven by the host, neither Gaybo nor Kenny had such a fixation on the topics.

Ol' Donie

Ah, dudes, you know yis are the greatest, but I don't know if I can handle all that joy to be honest.

I swear to God, what is wrong with them?

Bob Harris

2 reasons I won't watch:

1. I know exactly who will be on and what they'll talk about.
2. They'll mostly talk about death and misery and after hearing about it all week I'll listen to no more.

Rock Lesnar

Week 2 and its another definite skip

Ol' Donie

Topics:

Bridgerton or whatever it's called. (Is that the one that's a big load of sexy historically inaccurate nonsense?)

Mother & Baby homes

A man talking about his daughter's death

Obesity/RTE canteen crossover

A musical guest for the purpose of remembering Delores O'Riordan's tragic death.

That's remarkable, even for modern Late Late.

Pelvis Parsley

That man has an actual perversion-as does the organisation he works for.

I like Brenda Fricker so might have a watch of her but the rest is a no from me.

Not going to watch it tonight again.
It’s been rubbish for years now.

Why do they insist of having people on to butcher classic songs, I'd much prefer if they just played the video for Linger or Dreams

Tuned in to:

"he wants us to bear witness to his grief... and I would also like to warn you that this will be followed by some uncomfortable viewing about mother and baby homes"
