Why do we tolerate Tubridy?

Honestly? Useless presenter is the general consensus, look at Mike Murphy who was on the late late tonight, a true entertainer and gent, and if hes as hard up for cash as he says he is, hed jump at the chance to present the late late for the kind of money tubbs makes, I know id tune in every friday night! Anyone else agree hed be much better value?

Who cares either way?

Well as a tv licence holder i do, as it seems like such a waste of cash employing tubbs to bore the nation to sleep on a friday night

I'd actually pay NOT to see the dainty little whatyoumaycallhim....he's offensive and incompetent. Zig and Zag would be more entertaining, certainly more charasmatic

JerryHandbag · 01-10-2011 01:18AM

I somehow get the feeling Tubs will be there in 40 years, the same way Gay Byrne is presenting shows ad nauseum even though he "retired" in 1999.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 01-10-2011 01:18AM

I agree I like Mike, he's got great natural charisma and showmanship. He has been off the radar for so long now that he never even entered my thinking as a possible replacement for Tubs. Would his age be a factor though? he must be over 70 by now.

What? WHAT!! Murphy's Micro Quiz-m was the height of RTE's programming.

Go wash out your mouth!

Actually forget mike, zig and zag on a friday night to give the nation a bit of a laugh!

Interesting proposition.

stonetrower · 01-10-2011 01:36AM

there was certain questions asked to certain candidates and not others and why? Tubs has left himself open to criticism and rightly so. Rte will deny it but there was a question on Gay Adoption which was not asked to Gay Mitchell and another. I laughed when Mitchell was giving out to Mc Guinness about refering to Ireland as the 22 counties and refering to some people as West Brits. Well the 22 counties blunder sums up the West Brit very well. I wonder which 4 counties he and FG have partitioned off

theboss80 · 01-10-2011 01:41AM

Pity no one had the stones to ask Tubs about his own wage

Not. His mannerisms and habits (em, em ,em etc.) would be just as annoying as Tubridy's after a month.

Mike Murphy was cool tonight, and not in the least bit fazed by the pretender.

How did it all go wrong for Mick? I seem to remember his last ll appearance where the vibe was he was going to be a squillionaire thanks to City west or Park west or into the west or something west

Why do we tolerate Tubridy?

For any society which has tolerated what we Irish have experienced in the past is it any wonder?

From an abusive absolutist church to crooked politicians to corrupt bankers that have sold this country into debt slavery for generations.

We will continue to "tolerate" Tubridy. If RTE hiked the TV licence by 50% and replaced Tubridy on a Friday night with the picture of the girl and clown from BBC in the eighties we woul "tolerate" that too.
