The Late Late Show-Friday 15th January 2021

    Time for our weekly dose of insincere pontification and misery.

    Let us prepare ourselves.
    Galway actor Nicola Coughlan will be chatting to Ryan about the success of new Netflix series 'Bridgerton' and giving us the latest update on the next series of the hilarious 'Derry Girls'.

    Misery potential high here as she lost her dad. Bet he doesn’t bring it up though...
    Irish acting stalwart Brenda Fricker, whose films include 'My Left Foot', 'The Field' and 'Home Alone 2' among many more, will also be joining Tubridy on tonight's show. The 75-year-old will be paying a special tribute to the woman and children of Ireland's Mother and Baby Homes following the publication of this week's Commission of Investigation report.

    Double misery whammy here-Mother & Baby homes combined with Brendas personal tragedies will have Toyman pulling the chest out of himself.
    Former champion boxer Barry McGuigan will be speaking to Ryan about how his family has been coping since the death of his daughter Danika in 2019. Danika, an actress known for her role in ''Can't Cope, Won't Cope', passed away at the age of 33 following a short illness.

    They’re not even trying to hide it.
    Also on the show tonight will be this year's Operation Transformation leaders. Hazel Haritgan, Susuana Komolafe, Paul Devaney, Andrew Burke-Hannon and Sharon Gaffney will be discussing their new lifestyle changes since joining the show.

    Bound to be some personal tragedies with these people as well.
    Music on the show tonight will be provided by Cork's very own LYRA who will be performing a special tribute to The Cranberries star Dolores O'Riordan who passed away this day 3 years ago.

    And what else to top off the evening but, more death.

    A full on misery fest tonight, no playing about
    Think I’ll continue on my LLS streak and skip it again this week

    Bridgerton is Ride and Prejudice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,498 ✭✭✭KevRossi


    After the week that was, he'll have three people on having suffered recent breavements or talking about them. Along with this, Brenda Fricker on to talk about the homes (fair enough).

    No illness there, unless he taps up Barry McGuigan about how his daughter died, or else he can squeeze out something from the OT contestants, like diabetes or similar.

    It's insane how devoted they are to the whole illness and death thing and it only seems to get worse year after year. It has to be driven by the host, neither Gaybo nor Kenny had such a fixation on the topics.

    Ah, dudes, you know yis are the greatest, but I don't know if I can handle all that joy to be honest.

    I swear to God, what is wrong with them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    2 reasons I won't watch:

    1. I know exactly who will be on and what they'll talk about.
    2. They'll mostly talk about death and misery and after hearing about it all week I'll listen to no more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,882 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    Week 2 and its another definite skip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,721 ✭✭✭✭Ol' Donie


    Topics:

    Bridgerton or whatever it's called. (Is that the one that's a big load of sexy historically inaccurate nonsense?)

    Mother & Baby homes

    A man talking about his daughter's death

    Obesity/RTE canteen crossover

    A musical guest for the purpose of remembering Delores O'Riordan's tragic death.

    That's remarkable, even for modern Late Late.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Pelvis Parsley


    That man has an actual perversion-as does the organisation he works for.

    I like Brenda Fricker so might have a watch of her but the rest is a no from me.

    Not going to watch it tonight again.
    It’s been rubbish for years now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,093 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Why do they insist of having people on to butcher classic songs, I'd much prefer if they just played the video for Linger or Dreams

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,200 ✭✭✭mistersifter


    Tuned in to:

    "he wants us to bear witness to his grief... and I would also like to warn you that this will be followed by some uncomfortable viewing about mother and baby homes"


    merciful jaysus.

    Netflix it is!

    Please Renault pull the plug


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Arduach


    Please some light entertainment. Not belittling those in Mother and baby homes.

    But it's been a bleak week.

    Why are people not in jail if they actually did wrongs, plenty of them still alive and easy to find.

    Is the orgy on tonight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Arduach


    Tubridy is as happy with tonight's show as George Lee in a pandemic.

    No disrespect to this lady. It must be very tough opening up.

    TTE always want to launch us into the weekend sobbing, and the closer it gets to bedtime the more tears they want to draw out of us. We shall all pay for the sins of our fathers (& mothers etc etc).

    Because Catholic Church


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭darlett


    The Mother and Baby's Homes conversation needs to be had, the lls is correct to have it on. Not sure if I'll watch much of it after this segment, but this is a huge and overdue tale.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,283 ✭✭✭Tandey


    This is just an extension of the news now really no entertainment element at all tall. Should be renamed The Late Late News Show.

    You’ll only get jail in this country for not having a tv license or for importing a bit of garlic without the proper paperwork.

    Watching the last leg here.
    I assume Ryan Tubridy is probably trying to depress people as usual on a Friday night.

    But also because our politicians are closely linked with the politicians of the past.

    I hear the manufacturers of Prozac are in with a chance - largely because they're promising one for everybody in the audience.

    We've been talking about it all week. Friday night entertainment should be that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,501 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey


    Rte 1: The late late show

    Rte 2: Saving private Ryan

    One’s a gruesome view of a miserable side of human life that is full of depressing scenes and is really not suitable for young eyes . . . The other is some film about the Normandy beach landings

    I think it should perhaps be added to the National water supply at this rate.

    Is there a chance that this will get better or is it a full episode of this?

    I've been asking myself that question since 2009.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,868 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I’m baffled by a lot of reaction to this report. It’s 3000 + pages. How much of it do people want to be their version?

    People are slating it..

    Why bother having reports if they won’t be at all accepted?
