Should tubridy be axed from both radio and tv

Re the last choice of the poll:
Should he be given more time?

Eh no!!!!!! How much more time should he be given.

He's been doing the gig for ages. How much more time does he need???!!! :eek:

Yep. Why would you not ask it????

"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.

If Keating actually said that to Tubridy before the show then they shouldnt of let him on. He went on the show to advertise his new album, Nobody gave a toss about his album of Burt Bacharach covers. We just wanted to see him squirm. I think i may sweep the blame to the production team if Tubridy told them.

In fairness to Tubridy, he did ask about the affair, but Keating was just not going there. What was Tubridy supposed to do??

The best part of the interview was after Keating kept praising Bertie for his help with organising the Stephen Gately statue, he was asked what the latest with the statue is. His response:- Its not going to happen. :P

i just put that there to make it fair for the tubridy lovers we all know who they are here anyway

FreudianSlippers · 29-03-2011 05:17PM

Unfortunately there's nobody much better to replace him with. They'd probably go for someone like Dáithí Ó Sé and I'd rather have Pat Kenny back than Dáithí .

Moncrieff.
Although he's not presently part of the gravy train.

I hate the way he loves crooner music and JFK. Fu*k off to America Tubridy. Sure they'll recognise 'talent' like you and give you a big TV job.

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.

It would also be a vast improvement if RTÉ actually started getting some decent guests onto their chat shows instead of merely interviewing fellow RTÉ presenters.
The lowest of the low must have been a while back when they had the girls who read the sports news on as guests. :rolleyes:

walshb · 29-03-2011 05:56PM

Noboday was asking Tubs to crucify Ronan, but the lame and pathetic way he skimmed over the issue stank, and just showed why the guy is not fit to be in that job. He is supposed to be asking the questions that we the public may want answered.

saintsaltynuts · 29-03-2011 06:01PM

Yes he's like a sittin' pencil with no balls.

daddydick · 29-03-2011 06:04PM

For the fairness of the poll should there not be an option "no" and not just "give him more time"....just to add to the fairness of the poll.

Or alternatively dont watch the late late show/listen to radio 1

RJGMovie · 29-03-2011 07:23PM

He did ask tough questions of Cowen and Enda when they were on, maybe he felt sorry for Ro !

That's Keatings version of events. Reading the paper yesterday, RTE say it never happened. But would believe Keating over them.

Certainly don't think he should go now though. It does however show he is a pretty weak interviewer.

Tubridy is a parasite, like all of his class. A creepy lounge act that fell upwards into a seven figure salary. The Late Late's cheeseball/elevator musak intro tells us all we need to know about his taste and intellect.

The thing that pisses me off most about RTE (and how all business is done in Ireland, ie. Michael Lowry.) is the casual, blatant corruption.

I mean this, Tubridy's deeply mediocre book on Kennedy visiting Ireland, (that neglected, nigh secret history that has never been exhaustively cataloged before at all) won the Best Newcomer at the Irish Book Awards despite coming out two months after the deadline. /RTE is the award's sponsor.

And there's also the fact that RTE happened to commission a costly advert for Tubridy's book in the guise of a new documentary hosted by Tubridy. This would be explainable if not excusable if RTE themselves had published the book but they didn't, it was Harper Collins.

Tubridy also got the artist's tax exemption for the book, which is meant for works of "artistic merit", ie fictional or creative, to legally get it he would have had to make all his facts about JFK up. Of course, his boss Bertie also won the artist's exemption for his biography.

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.

Couldn't agree more about Brendan. Sh1te, sh1te, sh1te all the way! Total douche!

I don't mind Tubridy on the LLS, as you say, better than fecking Kenny (but that is not that much of an achievement). I tried to listen to his show, but FFS it's brutal, he jumps from one topic to another before I've had time to digest what he just said. Awful!!!

Late late show is fine (don't see it much, but it's grand when I do)

His radio show on the other hand is godawful muck, and should be scrapped. Can't see it happening though.

pavcro10 · 30-03-2011 01:04PM

I don't see an obvious replacement for him anyway. He's miles better than pat Kenny. Who was like a rabbit in the headlights when he had to interview anyone who wasn't a politician or under 40!!
Tubridy has a stiff banter, but at least its something. He's a smart guy, but I agree, he goes far too easy on guests.

So what? There are 100s if not 1000s of people in the country capable of hosting a chatshow, who have intelligence and gravitas when necessary and charm, wit and a genuine sense of fun for the light-hearted stuff. And at least 50 of them are easy on the eye in a telegenic sense and 5 or 6 of them would probably love the job and are attempting to have a television career. They don't always have to choose someone internally. RTE could hold auditions and give some of them a shot. It would be impossible to find someone worse than Tubridy. He's an absolute embarrassment, much, much worse than Kenny, who could at least manage the serious topics.

No, no. I asked you to provide a link to substantiate your claim that Tubridy is losing listeners by the day.
Until such time as you do I'll take it that you are spouting your usual rubbish when it comes to all matters Tubridy.

michael999999 · 30-03-2011 10:20PM

Im still waiting to be told about this dismal performance saturday night. For a man whos quick to put the knife in, you fail to provide any reasons for wanting him sacked.

Can you add epic fail to your poll?
