And RTE have ensured by their propaganda that cancer services have been shut down for the last year, so you can f**k right off Ryan, you pawn.

That lamb add is some of the strangest things I’ve seen on tv ever

Daffodil man fcuked up the feel good buzz for tubs there at the finish when he demanded 3 million and it only came in at 2 and a half.
Lol. Priceless

Purposely didn't check into this forum during tonight's show, as in fairness it's usually reserved for poking fun at what's going on.

But all I will say is.....**** cancer.

And I find it perverse that an illness that affects so many families on a weekly basis has to raise it's own funds via charity.

And it's borderline evil delaying/cancelling so many cancer screenings because of Covid.

The one where he had a tape of his dead mam telling him how to roast lamb?

Thankfully Tubs is worth every penny of his half mill salary, slaving eight hours a week. Propped up by grateful taxpayers who can take comfort in his upbeat demeanour, Mr. Light Entertainment will distract you from the relentless morbidity of Covid.

TBF,
Most of the fundraising opportunities that these organisations would have had have been wiped out by the Covid restrictions.
Might as well make some use of the platform.
I don't think there's any harm in shining a light on some of the suffering that goes on in people's lives all of the time or how fast things can change for a person.

Funnily one of the broadcasters top 'stars' has departed under such a cloud without so much of a good luck message from his colleagues.

Why did he depart?

He has a very nice one paid for by a rich benefactor.

Poking fun? Don’t think anyone is having any “fun” in here.

Only got to see the last few minutes. Fair play to the Jedward lads for shaving their heads and well done to Ryan, the ‘Late Late Show’ team and everyone who donated tonight.

A lot of money of raised for a great cause. Great to see.

Top talent like Tubridy, Darcy, O'Callaghan bring in multiples of what they earn in advertising during their time slots on TV/Radio. It doesn't suit the outrage narrative, but it's the truth. See the RTÉ annual report for further details.

There are a ton of one man produced channels on you tube that are way more informative, entertaining and polished, positive and cheerful than anything RTE is producing. Eg this English guy living off the land in Sligo, restoring a cottage, etc.

RTE is still stuck in the 80s. Awful stuff. And they are taking 160 quid off me each year AND I've to watch ads all the time too.

I beg your pardon, dude. Seven hours is the current weekly tally, all that sweat and toil for the greater good.

I'm sure they'd bring in just as much advertising if all those names were paid 50% less.

If they think they can command that big money elsewhere....let them go out to the big bad world and see.

I was referring to the fact that the running commentary is usually the highlight of the night, but rightfully it took a backseat tonight given the theme of the show, so didn't feel there was much point checking out the thread because there wasn't going to be any comic relief.

YoshiSays

They could stream their stuff on YouTube live and get a lot of world wide advertising and have pay per view for world wide subscribers.

If people can't get broadband to view this, then it would be much cheaper to provide these few people with satellite BB free.

It's a win win for everyone.

Also, Ireland needs deep impartial journalism via my license fee money way more than Ryan ****ing Tubridy does.

Yeah, right on! Duffy and Tubridy's morning shows bring in an absolute king's ransom!

From ads on RTE for other RTE shows...

They must be paying themselves millions!

YoshiSays

Sorry, just venting, back from hospital after an operation after several surgeries over the past years. No as bad as cancer, which is absolutely terrible and heartbreaking for everyone involved. I couldn't watch the show.

But I'm angry. RTE costs a lot of money. Companies selling alcohol and fast food etc advertising their products which are leading causes of cancer. And I'm still paying a license fee! I'm fed up of the hypocrisy.

Well it's dated quite a bit but still watchable.
New York in the 70's was fairly grimy and of course that car (vs train) chase was insane!

Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but strange carry on from RTE and certainly toward a guy who championed many of their woke causes

There is no way that the state broadcaster in a small country such as ours, should be paying these levels of salaries. RTE is in dire financial straits, most probably due to this very recklessness

I love anything set in New York during that period. Many reckon, the real New York before corporations took Manhattan over.

Only 230 posts; if the drop-off here is being matched amongst the viewership in general then the ratings must be plummeting. It's obviously now just a weekly exercise in demoralising the public and people are getting wise to it.

Pelvis Parsley

This weeks show was never going to set the world on fire-people are sick of Tubridy and the direction of the organisation which pays him.

It's been wall to wall misery from all of them, ever before we had covid to reckon with. And the horn on him when he got to do a whole cancer show and look pious must have been a sight to behold.

Those of us who do the usual threads and puppies, only do so to promote a community we enjoy.

We'd all be far better off with the likes of Radio 4, and filtering out the wokeness.

Because they do have a brighter outlook over there.

If you rearrange the letters in '' The Late Late Show'' you get '' Latest Health Woe'' which is ironically fitting considering the usual themes on The Late Late SHow.

Of course I don't mind this one off show, considering how they can't raise money the usual way.

Genius. I tip my hat to that.

1. If they were paid less, then RTE would take in more.

2. If they were better st their jobs, they'd get more ratings and RTE would get paid more in advertising revenue. As it stands, on radio they have so many ads for other RTE shows it's a near parody of itself. A so-called 'flagship' programme like Liveline can go for months without a main sponsor. People should be queuing up to advertise on these programmes, they obviously are not.

He left before his contract ended. I agree he's innocent before being proven guilty, signs are not good though.

McDermott has such a vanity streak that he gave himself a Nr. 2 buzz cut, not a shave. You can even hear him check the setting at 1:30 in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liB5JlszThA

I'm going through a bit of a health anxiety spell at the minute and I got the Astra Zeneca vaccine a few days ago. The 'cancer show' would have created the perfect storm for me to present at the nearest A&E last night. Although I did see a tiny bit of Shane Filan's interview. He always struck me as a nice lad.

It must also be said that, in these new fun-filled Late Lates, Tubridy has really been showcasing his brilliant sense of tumour.

Play the video, close your eyes and imagine the first few lines are being sung by Alan Partridge.
Uncanny, isn't it?
