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.

Geldof using literally wrongly way back in '98

Still, you don't hear strong enough language these days when it comes to describing these utter scumbags.

For all the “celebs” and RTbuddies, a nice touch having that girl back on.

I missed a bit of that, did she get sight back?

This really isn't about the Troubles.
I don't mean that young woman who has a connection to Gay Byrne and the LLS.

But this rambling crap from mcAleese!
I can't stand her.

That was genuine emotions from Brendan O'Carroll. And yeah, Tommy looked like he'd been crying.

Cripes, you forget all the comedians Gay gave a leg up.

Is Tommy Tiernan emotional, or does he have runny eyes?

He genuinely was. It looked like he was genuinely emotional.

Who, Ray or his auld fella Brian?

I only remember the very end of the troubles but the fact we are even remotely taking about maybe going back to those times is amazing.

This is like reeling in the years. So old and gone.

I think she has sight in her left eye.
It appears very focused when she’s talking so I’d say she can see that side.

Ah here bring on Dustin and Emu celebrity deathmatch.

The upbeat and joyous vibe is gone out the window.

Brendan o Carroll is definitely the most genuine guest in this show.
