Should ryan tubridy be axed

jimmynokia · 28-03-2011 06:01PM #1

With his radio show ratings dropping by the day

and

His dismal performance on saturday night

should he be axed both from radio and tv ?

Should he be given some more time

He's certainly thin enough to slip through a fax machine.

deelite · 28-03-2011 06:08PM

How many listeners has he lost since he started? I don't listen to him, Hector or Hayes .

blackdog2 · 28-03-2011 06:10PM

With the blunt side :eek:

I picked all 4.
I've been told I'm indecisive - maybe I am, maybe I'm not.

Poll fail.

Saturday? Well Brendan should definately be axed, he's a smarmy, unfunny smug prick.

Ryan's allright. He's a damn improvement on Plank Kenny, at least.

wilson10 · 28-03-2011 06:31PM

Did anyone axe him and see what he thinks himself.

Pauleta · 28-03-2011 06:31PM

Ive always been a defender of Tubridy but he went soft on Ronan Keating. He actually let Keating blame everyone else bar himself. Not acceptable from a public broadcaster.

I hope with a new government they really reign RTE in. The jobs for the boys culture, late late show tickets for the boys culture, presenters taking it easy on their mates in interviews; all this has to end. They need to be reminded that WE, The Public own them. They are employees of ours and must do their jobs in the way we wish them to.

Hector?

Jeez, you've really 'let yourself gooooooooooooooooooo'.

I don't mind ryan. Its a tough job doing a light entertainment show. I liked gerry ryan to start with but I couldn't listen to him after a few years - just got sick of him.

I think ryan tubridy is more a political/current affairs sort of man than light entertainment. But he knows that people don't tune into 2FM for politics or current affairs.

I think he's an awful presenter. He makes me cringe whenever he's interviewing anyone. He always asks stupid questions or tries to repeat them even though people have already answered them (see, Late Late interview with Alaistair Campbell). Like the time he asked people who had lost their children stuff like: 'Did you cry?' or 'Where you sad?'...

Thankfully he seems to have reigned in the incessant "cue cards" shuffling, and tapping and drumming the desk.

The quality of questions put to most intervieees is usually banal; I seem to remember P Kenny when he had S McGowan on being only interested in getting the latter to look a bit thick, no questions about for example his songs, life etc!

Whatever, he's not worth what he's been paid.
Still, seems like a nice enough guy in a pressurized job.

I leave the house for a couple of hours, and come home to find that JimmyNokia has raided my closet.. I thought I was the number one hater..

We could just feed him through the shredder. When I say we, I, of course, mean jonan. But dibs on emptying the remains into the compost heap.

Tubridy is the sort of ass lick we dont need on our TV.

Will he interview Yvonne on Friday night - and let her tell the story (she's bound to be writing a self help book - How to Survive an Affair)....

Tubridy is a whimp. How can he ask tough questions of anyone else from now on after this. He is totally undermined.

Brendan would have let him go on about Steo, Swimming, etc., and as soon as Keating brought up his wonderful wife and family - Brendan would have been in there like a shot - asking all the questions - if Keating refused to answer Brendan would have used the line "but listen Ro you brought them up not me"....:D

Tubridy is brutal - but whoever came up with the awful idea of putting this toolbag ^^^ on TV needs shooting.

mike65 · 29-03-2011 09:24AM

I don't watch the Late Late Show as its shiot on by a stick, however I will flick it on during an ad break or trailer between programmes on other channels and I'm always struck by the chronic lack of energy - the whole thing feels quite torpid. Tubbers sounds and looks utterly bored to me, he clearly has little ability to connect to a guest/s unless they fall into a few catgories he has a personal interest in. I also have a rather irrational wish to slap that face with its hand-me-down "shucks, me? I wish it was 1964" smirky hair and suit combo.

Well the question remains as to whether Tubridy was told it was off grounds by Keating or his handlers... From what Tubridy makes out, he himself made the decision NOT to ask the question... Brendan got the full story out of Linda Martin about the row Twink, even though she didnt want to talk about it.. I reckon, as a proper journalist, that he would have had a few goes at asking the question..

"Ro" was on with Ian Dempsey yesterday morning, and said he is good friends with Tubs, and had a chat with him before the show. He told him he wouldn't be answering any questions about it.

Tubs should have asked them anyway. I couldn't give a flying fook myself, but it was the main Ronan Keating story of the past year.
