The Late Late Show Tribute to Gay Byrne, Tuesday, RTÉ One, 9:35pm

sligojoek

Ryan Tubridy has promised that tonight's Late Late Show tribute to Gay Byrne will be "really special".

The veteran broadcaster passed away on Monday, November 4, after a long illness.

Tubridy saluted his "great friend" and "magnificent mentor" on his RTÉ Radio 1 programme on Tuesday morning ahead of tonight's show. He described the Late Late tribute programme as "a happy wake".

Speaking to The Today Show's Brenda Donohue ahead of the show, Tubridy said: "Gay was a once off, so tonight is a once off.

"It makes perfect sense that we gather the troops, gather the family, the friends and to say a final thank you. Tonight isn't going to be maudlin, or morose, or mawkish, it's going to be upbeat, it's going to be fun."

The 90-minute live special on RTÉ One at 9:35pm will feature contributions from Gay Byrne's friends and colleagues across the world of entertainment and beyond, including Bob Geldof, Andrea Corr, Pat Kenny, John Sheahan and Mary McAleese.

Also appearing will be President Michael D Higgins, Joe Duffy, Sharon Shannon, John Sheahan, Finbar Furey, Tommy Tiernan, Pat Shortt, Eamon Dunphy, Twink and Mary Black.

Brilliant story there

Ah, that clip never gets old.

There's never a time when Gay Bryne telling someone bluntly to fck off isn't hilarious.

Ryan just couldn't handle it when Mike said fck.

where do you want to go?
who do you want to be?
what are ye wearing?

She never has anything actually accurate to say anymore.

She was Pádraig Flynn's pr, says everything.

May the man rest in peace now. And we all shut the F up about it. RTE are in extreme mode now.

Sad thing is, once the funeral is over most will forget about it and that’s that. Such is life.

When it’s all over is when you need support, just saying.

The McColgans must have got a 2-for-1 specsavers deal.

It’s all a bit... I dunno. These talking head shows. Aside from Mike Murphy and Kenny I’m not really interested. Who cares what the likes of Moya and John - quite obscure (but very wealthy) - people think?

alan partridge aha

Oh fu5k up Miriam

Claire Byrne is full of crap. I'm sure Noel Kelly did more convincing that Gay did.

This program really highlights the incestousness of RTE and Irish media.

Mike Murphy and Pat Kenny have more class and style than the rest all put together.

Gay's one man live show was very good, it is a shame it wasn't recorded

I really enjoyed it.

I just found out yesterday that my daughter's boyfriend did sound on one of those tours. He said Gay was sound and good crack behind the scenes'
