Some type of Jerusalema dance.

^^ Thought there was supposed to be fun in the show?

The Late Late Show needs to be a once a month style show....something has to change...

Cutting tubridys salary by 5% simply isnt enough...

A 75% pay cut would be a start.

Appalling sh1te obsessed with death and covid

If Ryan Tubridy does not ask Dave Grohl about Kurt Cobain's suicide, I'll donate €50 to a charity of the OP's choice.

I think it's live from a funeral home this week..

New FOO fighters album out tomorrow. Ryan will ask about the Irish physio who treated Dave after he broke his leg, Kurt Cobain and does he have any Irish Roots.

Such a waste of an interview with a music legend

I think that would get me to tune in.

Holy Gawd...... enough to drive anyone to drink

So ...where is the remote control.

Actually ... BBC4 usually has something good on revolving around music etc.

Friend of the (radio) show múinteour Emer ticks a few #woke boxes from memory.

No, I won’t be joining ye!

Ryan talking to Grohl and trying to resist asking about Cobains suicide will be like the tour guide in the caves on Fr Ted trying to resist saying 'I dont beeeeeleeeeeeeeive it!' to Richard Wilson.

Ol' Donie

This week's puppeh and kitteh are extra excellent.

I'm choosing to tentatively look forward to Dave Grohl's appearance, although the rest isn't immediately encouraging.

Welsh Megaman

I think I will Stay Away from tonight’s LLS. All that misery p0rn is enough to completely Drain You. You just know Ryan is going to Milk It for all its worth.

All Apologies for the Nirvana puns (whoops).


:cool:

I said to a friend during the week after seeing the story about Lydsey Bennet that it would not surprise me if Ryan Tubridy had her on the Late Lare Show it's that predictable now. It's worse than Formula 1 even.

KungPao

I hope Ryan’s researchers inform him that Grohl doesn’t like talking about Kurt Cobain’s death willy nilly. Hope it doesn’t end up like The Bee Gees and Clive Anderson if he does, or a video call version of it and he just closes his laptop.

I think Grohl is too chilled for that, but you know Tubbs. Just keeps poking. More misery please.

Ha, very good

Since I read that I've been saying Charity of my choice in a dodgy Spanish accent.

I'll cancel myself now

First guest for the Late Late show for next week* will be a woman awarded 3 million because instead of using a footbridge she crossed a dual carriageway that the footbridge went over and got hit by a car out of pure laziness.

*Note not confirmed just me guessing it will be.

screamer

Ah thanks RTE just when we need something to lift our spirits, when things are pretty sh:t and boring, you just pile the misery on top, every week.
I’ve stopped watching this, maybe if enough of us do likewise, it’ll be cancelled. Utterly depressing round up of misery every week, it’s as constant as Covid at this rate.

Might throw in some US politics too

Pelvis Parsley

I wonder what manifestations of "dialling up the fun-o-meter" we'll see this evening.

They played for Bidens inauguration. The man worked with some of the biggest stars in music, sold millions of albums,played massive stadiums all around the world,done some fantastic documentaries but you just know rte will focus on the "irishness"

neris

Is there any other country in Europe or even the world where they start the weekend off with misery, death and suffering? Every other channel either has a movie or some sort of entertainment or even crap comedy on

HBC08

Obviouly nothing interests me on this line up except Dave Grohl.
Imagine tommy Tiernan doing that? It would have the potential to be one of the great iconic Irish tv moments,id say Dave wouldn't know what to make of Tommy and the craic would flow.

As it is expect Tubridy to focus in on any tenuous Irish connection,continue on to really zero in on that well past the point of cringe.Talk about the US election or politics and touch on tradegy with a view to getting Dave to talk about Kobains suicide.
I absolutely would bet my life that (Even though he would have been early 20s at the time and has worked in radio his whole life) Tubridy cant name one Nirvana album

Tubs’s favourite Nirvana album is probably Smells like Teen Spirit, with Sweet Child O’ Mine being a highlight, that drum intro by Eddie Vedder made the song.

I'm just going to follow this thread to see if he goes on and on about Cobain's suicide to Grohl.

Dave Grohl always comes across as a nice guy and up for a bit of craic - he's wasted on Tubridy.

Was talking about the Late Late and all the misery with my parents earlier in the week. Thankfully they said they have stopped watching it ages ago.

PsychoPete

As good as the late late threads can be it just isn't worth it having to sit through watching it

Summer2020

Jesus Christ they’re really piling on the misery. I’m very sorry for what the women suffering from cervical cancer are going through and I wish them the very best but I don’t want to see it on a Friday night. Seeing it on the news is enough. I’ve told my elderly parents to stop watching rte and in particular the late late show as it would utterly depress you if you weren’t already.

Totally agree.
I enjoyed it recently (purely for this thread) but its hard to make fun or smart comments about the guests he has on and their genuinely terrible circumstances.
The death intro last week where he just named off a load of Covid victims was a watershed moment for me.The fact that he was throwing in little story's like "and Maureen loved her cat Pickles,now Pickles is sad as well as Michael her devouted husband" was so weird and disgusting.

I came on to post something similar.

It's obvious RTE took absolutely no notice of all the criticism they got after last weeks show.

Pelvis Parsley

No sign of the roaring langer in the car tonight, by the look of it-he's on next week.

Ah here...I know Tommy T has his fan club, but the idea that he's some kind of chat show/interviewing genius is ridiculously overstated imo.

In fairness the bar in rte isn't set very high
