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.

There has been little else spoken about all week in my canteen, not a word about the football or Brexit anymore

What's your gripe with Blindboy and his bag? You seemed overly annoyed the other night.

Nell is bloody awful. One of those people who should be pulled up for their rudeness every time, but never is.

Tubridy though couldn't handle the situation. He cannot cope with the unexpected. One wonders why he got the job.

I mean okay she needed a glass of water and that’s fair enough but with respect there was a way to do it. She could have waited until the song was on and the mics on the audience were off and asked someone to get her a glass of water.

Does the boil water notice apply to Donnybrook?
If so....give it to her straight out of the tap!
Should finish her off!

Yeah, Nell looked very frail-unfortunately. I don't think she's looking too well.

Maybe she's one of the few genuine people in the audience who loved gay Byrne and is really upset he's died. Just saying,

3 separate posts from you in the last few days ranting against Blindboy. You seem to be obsessed with him.
