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.

If Giles and Dunphy had a child, I'd imagine it'd look a lot like Finbarr

Oh that's inserting from Bono about the bike. I had always thought it was an inappropriate gift but not so.

Missed the start, I see La Twink is in the house, has she made a contribution yet? She'll be good for a few tears, the old drama, sorry panto queen.

Not watching the show but enjoying this thread.
Will that do?

I've just turned it on there, I've never in my life seen such a group of untalented people who have somehow managed to have careers.

Never seen such moaning about absolutely everything and everyone. RTE could give them a million quid each and it still would be wrong.

Shifty Shellshock

I’ll take Bono over Joe Duffys double chin any day.
