You knows the rules…play nicely, or I’m turning this car around.
Seems Kielty is going to live in London and just fly in for the show each week.
He will also present his BBC radio show on a Saturday morning from the Belfast studio, thats not really ideal.
Paul McCartney didn’t even go to his own tribute concert in Carnegie hall 😂😂
Any clues before I hear it online ?
listened tonight , classic stuff, the Donal og bit was brilliant
Mr Rosenstock taking material from this thread for his gift grub today it would seem...
I'll admit I opted out after Rosenstock the other night. How was the Gallagher interview? I could watch it on player later and compare it to this, which is quite brilliant, how it should be done.

pk: sorry tubs this isn’t that kind of show , so tell me this your grandad tortured touts?
No they don’t
Paul or “macca” as music expert Ryan calls him would find an interview with a limited scope fanboy nauseating
Im fairly sure Bono will make an appearance....Tubridy is desperate for Paul McCartney to appear....
Charlie Bird will probably be there ...Daniel O'Donnell...Kielty will probably be on to Interview tubs for 10mins....
The fawning over Tubridy will be nauseating.....
Tubridy, The man who was born with a silver spoon up his aŕse and handed everything on a plate....retiring at 50 as he has banked enough from the Licence fee payer to faff about connemara pretending to read books....
That'll be a 2nd appearance of the season for Michael D and a sixth since Tubs took the LLS hot seat.
Boom, Michael D...
The first guest on the PK2 show will be Tubridy, telling us all he has terminal cancer and only 6 months left to live!!
The second PK on the LLS. He's officially PK2.
Great work Brok! Honestly, if you were serious about your career and saw your analysis of guests, you’d run a mile. I live in hope that PK can remedy this and provide something better than a stream of Z-Listers and attention seekers.
Outstanding research....really outlines the sheer pointlessness to the LLS under Tubridy....just a vehicle for Vogue Williams, Amy Huberman et al to promote themselves....shocking stuff....
Thank you Mr. Turnpike
Anyone interested in some stats* for this season?

It'll be really something to see Kielty show up Tubs for the lack of effort and research he put into pretty much every guest on his show. Hopefully this appointment will breathe some life into the show, take the focus off misery, and cut down on the repeat guests.
I think the fact Patrick fell off the radar the last few years probably concentrating on marriage and family so it's like an unknown newbie getting the job is interesting
I would have put him younger than Tubs
Ths
That says a lot.
Intro music,
Cue owl graphic,
" It's the Late Late Show!
And here is your host,
CAT DEELEY'S Husband!"
Cat Deeley's husband
I don't think that Ryan actually ticked many (if any!) of those boxes. 😁
We'll see. As #Furze99 asked, "who is he?". Nice guy, and an interesting guest on the LLS for 15 minutes, but the LLS is a peculiary Irish institution, it doesn't travel, it's host needs to be relevant to the day to day goings on of Irish art, media and politics. All three suggested hosts tick that box, whether you like or hate them, and are clued in to our daily lives. Count your blessings. You nearly had Vogue and her echo.
Kielty will be a vast vast improvement on the current host....good luck to Patrick Kielty...
As for Tubridy....dont let the door hit you on the way out.....
Ciara Kelly would be more relatable??
To whom, any **** in a 'I Love Thatcher' T-shirt?!
What??? Ciara Kelly???? Have you gone mad?? Only person who could be worse than her is that bore of a Coleman who wants to ban everything.
Everyone you have mentioned there are worse options than Kielty.
This, to me, seems like a rare good appointment by RTE.
None of your options are a better choice though
The LLS is unlikely to survive his tenure, which will probably be the shortest. There were better candidates, but the trick was to ask them to do it, not apply and risk rejection. Surely Brendan O'Connor, Baz, or Ciara Kelly would be more relatable.
Btw, the Irish Mirror this morning had a gushing article before the announcement that there were joint contenders now in the ring, it hotly tipped the new LLS co presenters to be.... Vague and the noise beside her. Yikes!
I would honestly have thought a show that isn't really watched outside Ireland would have been a step-down career wise for someone like Patrick Kielty, who's had a very successful career in the UK and US. But best of luck to him anyway.
I've only one question and excuse my ignorance.. but who is this Patrick Kielty??
