Not a good look. I wonder did he go because this was going to come to light?

Jésus, is there no end to this, the Independent website:
"Ryan Tubridy has posted a video showing him whizzing down a road on the red Vespa he was gifted by U2 on his final Late Late Show appearance in May.
Since then, Tubridy has stated that the electric bike was sitting in storage in the UK, however, last week he said that it had finally arrived to his home."
WTF is this about the vespa - is he seriously trying to align Bono/U2 to get page ink?
What is the Indo obsession with him?
Maybe, we on here are part of the problem! Mod suggestion - ban all discussion of RT, in an effort to make him go away!
Think that Tubridy lost the LLS a long time ago. It was in all the newspapers. :) Seriously though, Kielty will have to walk a thin line between the traditional LLS audience and the audience that might watch an edgier LLS.

It is no longer about Tubridy. He's been an example for the other "talent" in RTE. One of those is Brendan O'Connor of the Sindo. Like most of the "talent" in RTE, he may also be facing a pay cut. Perhaps Beaker feels a bit of remorse for running the story that brought down Tubridy, the board of RTE and, perhaps, a lot of the management of RTE.
It's one of the saddest things I have ever seen.
RTE and edgy in the one sentence.
RTE is the TV version of Complan. Bland, easily digestible and suitable for the elderly.
You know sincerity is overrated. The axe murderer chasing down the street is sincere in their intent.
The fact is Kielty may not be to your personal taste, but unlike Tubridy he's not an RTE insider and has been transparent about his fee upfront to avoid getting dragged into the ongoing quagmire.
Fionnán has lost the plot, if he ever knew one. All over the place, like a puppet in the hands of some paymaster..
Has Fionnan Sheehan been offered a producers role in the Turbridy the Film?
I'm willing to try watching PK.
Haven't watched the LLS in years. I tried in the early days of Tubridy but I couldn't do it.
Yes I agree with you on this. And if he makes a good run of it fair play to him.
Think that Tubridy has his own PR people and Kelly is just trying to get him a job.
As a journalist when I write a story, I make sure all the facts are correct. The Vespa backstory does not add up and its obvious that the journalist has written from a press release.
The Vespa was given to RT live on the LLS, so why was it shipped to the UK to be put in storage? Why could not it stay in Ireland?
RT is yesterdays news as he is a yesterday man so MSM please stop printing/publishing puff pieces about RT. Nobody **** ing cares.
Poor oul Tubridy,... unloved broken Toyman that he is... never to escape from Andy's closet again to bore us with rest of his Story.
It's kind of embarrassing and awkwardly uncomfortable to watch this play out...
FFS like... somebody tell Kelly that his little puppet is now about as welcome as a dildo at a Christening.
It sounds like the Vespa was being pawned to fund the barter account!
Re the Vespa, like so many celebrity well-wishers, Bono wasn’t even in person to present it to him, he showed it or a similar model remotely from somewhere in USA, as far as I recall. I presume the idea was it was ordered from UK where he had to maybe claim it.
Funny the way he dismantled his Toyman persona so abruptly when he handed in his LLS notice.
Hmm... who pays the VRT on that...
Haven’t seen a newspaper today, any more Tall Tales from The Toyman’s camp?
Never mind that, if the top speed is 30mph it's basically a glorified hairdryer.
You're right who's paying the VRT on it or who has paid it.
Next question will he get personalised numberplates...maybe 'Toy 1'
This?
Who pays the Gift Tax, it is well over the 3k limit.
Come on, you know this. RTE!!!
Apparently Catherine Martin told at Cabinet that RTE proposals at reform are nowhere near what's required if they want a government bailout.
Who was paying for the storage is another question they won't be asking.
Even though it is a Dreadful Drennan piece, the cabinet does not seem pleased with RTE. For Martin, the worst thing that RTE seems to have done is to make her look incompetent. Politicians don't like that. That was a nice journalistic flourish by Drennan (incentivised redundancies). :)
I think she made herself look incompetent. It was her first real test and she was like a rabbit in headlights. I am not surprised KB's reforms are half hearted - Catherine Martin should be laying down the law but she is afraid to rock the boat.
The government could lose a hell of a lot of votes unless they play this right. So far they have failed to grasp the nettle. Martin agreed to a 7 month long inquiry into governance at RTE, that's typical kick-the-can delaying nonsense from the coalition of chaos. Get in there and ask hard questions please. In the meantime the taxpayers will give you repeated reminders.
Probably threw it in along with the Toy Show musical sets, saving synergies!
I wouldn't be surprised if a new Tubrity Radio Show will be syndicated across Local Wireless Radio stations. The question is will this be during the day and for how long.
...
Would rather try getting waterboarded in Guantanamo than watch a full Tubridy LLS.
And I'm not really sure if I'm joking about that.
