That really shouldn’t be difficult.
The LLS is well past it’s sell-by date especially with the host. It’s a crying fest every week.

Didn't the LLS used to get 700,000+ every week?

It's ratings have plummeted under Tubs. If this was any other person, he'd be removed from the position if they lost a third of their customers on t.v. or radio.

But not our Ryan.

Of course it won't be Tubs, they will probably fire the producers (actually its RTE they will just move them somewhere else) and take Tommys team, and spin "a new beginning" for the LLS where Tubs will do a fluff piece in the Indo about how he is "at ease with himself", or "maturing" following lockdown and he wants to make Ireland smile again.

Tubs has charisma, is well liked and capable. However the show has grown a bit maudlin and stale.

Lol charisma.

His only 5 topics are death, pain, suffering, COVID, US politics and then the 'light-hearted' stuff is just the Irish rugby team.

Seen a piece in the Indo Tommy attracted more viewers than the LLS the weekend past. Not surprised Tubs is the most wooden and annoying member of the RTE stable.

Don't blame Tubs, he's just the jockey on the LL horse.

Tubs has made the LLS his own, hence why its crap.

The majority of people I know who like Tubs are ladies over the age of 55.

Edit: They also think he's extremely good looking.

I’m going to take a wild stab that most 55 year olds here aren’t in that category.

That said, I’m not sure why you brought appearance into it in the first place. Was that what the person you quoted was even referring to?

I don't know what their point was but it seemed to be that 55 or over was old or past it. These ladies are not along with many others.

I was just saying the main group of people I see who love Tubs and thinks he's great, light hearted, great interviewer.
The younger generation generally thinks he is rubbish in my experience.

Your point was crystal clear. Comprehension not too strong with that one.

Hope things like this doesn’t prompt too much of a change. It shouldn’t, but we should never forget that RTÉ always seems to be run by imbeciles.

Ash.J.Williams · 17-03-2021 04:39PM

Yeah keep Tommy’s show

I can’t see him doing the late late shows sillier segments like the ones tubs can’t do either

LilacNails · 18-03-2021 08:07PM

Guys!

Can anyone remember a guest that was on a few weeks back, thnk they might have been a singer from cork, saying they have some good days and bad days...

Fine Cheers · 18-03-2021 08:41PM

Male or female ?
Mary Coughlan maybe

LilacNails · 18-03-2021 09:18PM

Male!

jammiedodgers · 18-03-2021 09:23PM

Dave Balfe?

LilacNails · 18-03-2021 09:38PM

No not him, ! I might have a few details wrong but if it rings a bell for anyone that might know who I'm talking about!

There have been a few people who have said that - haven't seen all the programmes to this point, but the ones I have I cannot recall seeing a singer from Cork.

jammiedodgers · 18-03-2021 11:21PM

Have a look at the page on the RTE player, it lists the guests that have been on each episode in the summary.

Pelvis Parsley · 19-03-2021 03:36AM

It wouldn't take much to come in ahead of Tubridy, but it takes a fair swing to come in ahead of the LLS, and the Tommedian has done it (his handle, not mine).

I get him,l get his chaotic yet insightful views on situations and things, and I wish him every success, but as much as I'd love him on the LLS, the RTE machine would wear him down. He's grand as he is, until our National Broadcaster fvck up a good thing...as they tend to...

AdrianG08 · 19-03-2021 10:20AM

Dream line up:

Morrissey
David McSavage
Roy Keane

Samsgirl · 20-03-2021 10:51PM

This lady tonight is good. Already told Tommy she wasn't a fan of his a few years ago!
