Who will be the next Late Late Show host AFTER Patrick Kielty?

Tommy Tiernan

Oh I dunno.

A woman

Oliver Callan I suppose. He's fairly good on the radio.

BB Baskin.

Given the fact that under Kielty the LLS has gone part-time and shown absolutely no improvement in depth or quality, and given the financial disaster at RTÉ, I'd be fairly confident that there will be no more Late Late Show after this current tenure.

You could do a 30 minute magazine programme, twice a week, at 7.30pm, from September to May, to hoover up those more significant interviews, like Irish sports stars returning with medals and people launching albums and movies and so on, and that would really cover it. Ideal for Kathryn Thomas or Daithí or some such journeyman.

For other matters such as politics, societal issues, human interest etc, there are already an excess of shows that could fit those in; Prime Time, TWIP, Monday Night with Katie Hannon, Nationwide, Ear to the Ground, Tommy Tiernan etc, and also the very good output that Radio 1 can do; Oliver Callan, Today, Brendan O'Connor etc.

And the Toy Show could always continue as an annual one-off, with an emsemble of presenters from Kids TV, Sport, Music etc.

There simply is no reason for the LLS to exist anymore. The days of appointment TV are over. People are far more likely to catch up on bits and pieces online, if they hear of something of interest to them. So those bits and pieces have no reason to be assembled into a 2 hour live show on a Friday night.

Rosie O’Donnell

Possibly Kate Mulgrew, she spends enough time on this side of the Atlantic…

Has Kielty added anything to it? Whoever takes it over it'll still be dull and dreary.

Does she. Doing what?

Lol.

Brendan O'Connor.

That would get me watching. Don't think she would leave sports coverage though.
