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.

It's a brilliant show. And Ryan is actually doing a great job,

It's not bad in fairness, but Tubridy has little to do with that.

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

No. Joes only on €450k

Some of those clips are really of their time.

The clobber and general appearance of the audience are from a different time.

Moving along at a nice pace and nobody dwelling on stuff. Enjoyable.

Finbar. Now there's a legend.

My old next door neighbour was in the Hermitage Golf Club where Finbar was also a member, said he was a total gentleman.

This is a good story! Quite ironic!

Expunge

Apparently, Dee Forbes was about to reveal her big plan for major cuts in RTE this week but had to postpone due to the death of Gaybo.

It seems even in death he's still helping talentless people prolong their careers!
