Ryan Tubridy - From Virgin to Youtube **Mod: Read OP**

Some lad Ryan made a star.

You should do a trawl the internet to see how Irish newspaper are clickbait for Irish "stars". Huge amount of non-entities who continue to get "column" space.

Search Jennifer Zamparelli, she gets at least one news report each week, even when she is not on DWTS.

It is actually three decades, possible four. I cannot remember if he was on air prior to 2000.

But yes, it is what might be expected to be said of someone with much less experience. At the start of their career. It is what I would have said about Angela Scanlon when she started in the UK.

I haven't listened to Ryans UK show. I was one of those listeners who slept walked into his show after Morning Ireland. So cannot comment on how good or bad he is.

But with three (maybe four) decades of his game and as the "most talented and competent" host in Ireland. One would expect a lot better then "he is now doing a very good job on Virgin. It took a while to find his feet".

Best of luck Ryan. You had the best education money can buy, priceless connections in the Irish media. Limited talent. But with the restricted options available to you. You went far.

You were able to get a job in a media group your grandad was the ex chairman of. Gifted a position and then groomed for star hood.

With all those disadvantages,you were able to rise to the top of RTE. Who would have thought a poor boy from South Dublin could do it.

Then like Icarus you flew to close to the sun and it all came crashing down.

Some might say it is hubris to think you still deserve the adoration of the Irish public.

But sure as Sunny Dispostion said well down. Your a top fella.

You have taken decades of experience.

Moved to a new country and city. That is more then a 30 minute flight away .

With nothing but a healthy bank balance and a well paying job.

To present a largely music based show.

With little need for a presenters input.

You were crap for months. But maybe just maybe you have found your feet.

Any indications on how things went for Tubridy?

How long are they embargoed for?

Absolutely beyond ridiculous, Tubridy wore something Victorian back in 2015, so now anyone wearing a Victorian outfit is copying him? Is it meant to be a serious allegation or not? If it was last christmas and Tubridy was still doing the show and wore it maybe, maybe he gets away saying that for coincidence sake.

Does Tubridy think Keoghan's going to meet that accusation with some playful grin and think it's all bantz? He probably spent a long time chosing that. Tubridy should count himself lucky if Keoghan doesn't blow him out of it. This was his moment and Tubridy is trying to insert himself into it like a teenage girl desperately chasing clout.

She has a very famous (infamous?) agent who obviously has someone on the inside at the Indo.

Perhaps someone in News UK/VR management has had a preview of the numbers?

Snowflakes, eh.

Do listeners ever ring in to his show or is it just read out messages?

Maybe somebody could ask about the 150 or is it 300,000 that way? I doubt it though, all callers are probably NKs secretary putting on different accents.

I must try that sometime but who to ignore?
