Did that last caller call someone a coward?

There'll be a court case over that if yer man is still alive.

I like Tubridy on the radio. In my view he is a skilled interviewer who is able to change his approach because he listens to the answers given by his interviewees. Unlike many (Miriam is a case in point) he eschews the "list of questions from 1-10" approach.

I find him atrocious tbh. He can be fawning at times and perceptibly nervous at others as is often evidenced by that tick of his to slap the desk repeatedly mid-conversation.

Witness his car crash late late interviews with:
Howard Marks & Rhys Ifans (which gave us the "Dainty Little Bugger" monicker")
Jonah Hill asking Tubs "are you nervous buddy?" mid-interview
Tom Cruise, where Tubs was like a teenage girl meeting her favourite boyband
Brian Cowan; I'd say Cowan had tougher grillings by his daughters than Tubs gave him


i rarely watch the show, I just happened to see those but everytime I watch there's something weird/awkward. The late late thread don't seem to think he's blessed with the skills you suggest, and they can't all be wrong, can they? That thread is rather like this one, people tune in not for the skills of the host, more the lack of them and to see what weird turn the show will take under the host's mishandling of topics. It's the car crash tv version of Duffy's car crash radio show, so to speak; only as it's on tv we can see the colour of the car.
