The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

Did someone say earlier on this thread that Norton is not a tubs fan?

Norton like Kielty is another who had their own act before becoming a host, they could read a crowd.

Tubridy is just noise in comparison.

I wonder if what time the nk mob clock on today, no doubt they'll be lambasting Kielty and Norton, but probably not Conan.

I reckon he's already been asked if this new Irish guy is a friend, but I can imagine Norton protecting his own brand. There is absolutely nothing in it for Norton to endorse tubs, and virgin radio obviously know better not to piss off one of their actually stars.

Fantastic LLS last night. Conan and Graham Norton interviews adeptly handled by PK. Instead of the obsequious celebrity worshipping of old, they were treated like mere mortals and responded well to lots of gentle ribbing.

Particularly liked PK's introduction for Norton "a chat show king all the way from Virgin Radio UK" Queue wry smirk :D

Even the LLS trad session, which in recent years always seemed like an exercise in filling air time with tiresome diddly eye, was last night a free flowing celebration that worked well.

Crazy to think RTE stumbled on this formula like someone stumbling on a garden rake.

The NK crew may have family who love them and who spend time with them at th weekends

(not me though, I’m always a radio geek)

First article for Little England On Sunday

There's no f---ing way. This can't be real.

It is like one of those "What I did on my Summer holidays" school essays with a few name drops and mangled song names. "A rainy night in Soho" referenced as "a rainy day in Kilburn". I suppose that his fans will consider it to be a great literary work on the same level as those of Samuel Pepys. It isn't.

Best read on an empty stomach.

Not forgetting talking to Sinead O Connor 2 weeks before her death who told Ryan how God when all is going well has a habit of appearing in hoddie, stabbing you and robbing you. Sinead was probably talking about her experiences of life but is Ryan protraying this as loosing his pampered RTE life?

"the story everyone wants to read" according to the Mail! ha ha ha ha ha ha...... I'd imagine a lot of people will see that on the newstand today and snort with laughter. We've heard it all. He was welcomed by the Irish ambassador, recognised in the streets, thousands of welcoming texts, invitations to Dermot Kennedy's house etc. He sure knows how to talk himself up..........him and Noel Kelly.

It does actually read like the work of a reasonably intelligent primary school "what I did on my holidays" essay

Oh look its god in a hoodie, no Ryan you're actually being mugged

Nothing about the Late Late snub. NK has investments to protect, even at weekends.

How so? Snubbed by the Conan interview?
