The Late Late Show-Friday 15th January 2021

TheRiverman

People need to stop watching the Late Late. Unfortunately there are hundreds of thousands who still watch it every Friday.

The Late Late Show - more like... The Sh*t Sh*t Show.

That interview should NOT have taken place. :mad:

It may be what Barry wanted though.

Part of my work involves supporting those who are grieving and the desire to speak can be overwhelming.

Is that Mailbag show still on!?

We really need to tell RTE to cop the **** on. That was terrible television. Dire, dire stuff.

I wonder how Barry is right now. Someone handed him a tissue so he isn't alone tonight at least.

That was recorded so he’s probably been watching something far more entertaining than the rest of us for the last couple of hours.

Tubs says. Disingenuous doesn’t even describe it.He’s reveling in it.

Gay Byrne could say something and you would believe he meant it. Never mind whether you liked him or you didn't like him, you believed he was genuine and the question was genuine. I just can't believe Tubridy. Every response feels like he's gone to a Lookup table in Microsoft Excel to see what the appropriate human response should be.

Sorry to hear that. Mine died 3 years ago. It does get better with time.

My mother is in her 70s and up to last March, regularly went for coffee, lunch, drinks etc. with 'the girls'.

I’m in such a rage, I forgot to say ‘Not Cark!

It was ‘Not Cark’, right?

Oh, the ending from Tubridy..makes my blood boil..

Mind yourselves, won’t ya!!!

Tubridy is an absolute leech. The false sincerity and exploitation of people's personal tragedies to further his own image is truly horrible. Including the damn Toy Show.

I'm complaining - disgraceful show. Not just the one piece . The full show was about death or being fat

It is a shame that someone more at ease with others didn't do the interview.

What purpose did the breakdown of a man on tv serve?

Weird weird show..RTE!!

On live tv - you serious.

After tonights show lads, would it be a good idea to finally make a complaint to this ****ty show for its content, we all normally have a bit of craic on here watching it but i think tonight after Barrys interview just tops it off for me

Holy Duck

Just what the country needed, as if people are not feeling low enough with everything else going on, what a way to send people to their beds.... hang you're heads RTE and Tubridy

I'm disgusted with tonight. Jesus ****ing Christ.

Wall to wall misery, increasing to a crescendo of grief before the midnight hour. All in the darkest time of the year, in the midst of a national crisis and at a time when a huge number of people are by themselves without a soul to find consolation, and without other distractions, and with bad news coming in online with every tweet. Christ, RTÉ, what is your purpose? Then a week or two later you will be shaking the box for Pieta House, but we'll be beyond that with the misery you are putting upon us. We gather as a nation to watch our national live broadcaster in some kind of hope of communion, after a fashion, and this is all that you deliver. RTÉ guide, I think it was, RTÉ anyway, recently said Irish people have an obsession with death & misery... when in fact it's the broadcaster that does.

Welsh Megaman

It’s also knowing he’ll be gushing about how great the interview went on his radio show on Monday morning.

If Barry wants to do this the least we can do is hear him out.

Maybe he thought he could handle it when he agreed but clearly he's not in any fit state to give interviews yet. I think Tubs or the producers should have advised him as gently as possible to postpone it.

In your 70s, if you are in vigorous health, you are a girl unless you are of a different gender

How - Twitter ?

Arduach

That interview was wrong on so many levels.

Exploiting grief, fake sorrow from the host.

Also a lot of people are suffering with their mental health because of what's going on. That show would drive you to despair. May drive some.

If RTE really wanted to help, rather than putting on examples of how to wash our hands and forcing George Lee on us, they could but on a light entertainment show.

Welsh Megaman

I need some Dolly Parton on BBC Four to calm myself down.

Jaysus, I never thought I’d be saying that!

Nos da.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Grief is a deeply personal and cathartic process, but that felt like eavesdropping in the worst possible manner. Wirebrush shower and bleach on the eyes after that tonight. I'm firing off an email to RTÉ to relay my disgust with the debasement of an "entertainment" show.

Pinch Flat

Jaysus tough week, dry January. Glad I didn't bother watching tonight.

I have every faith we will return to complete piss pulling next week.

Tonight was just extraordinarily hard watching
