Did my ears deceive me, or did he just call Nanci Griffith (singer of From A Distance), Nancy Griffin????

The blatant hinting and touting for freebies is beyond parody now.

In case it passed you by, Tubridy is looking for:

A new quiet coffee machine,
A trip to Iceland.

Any screenshots of the application process to back this up? It's not that I wouldn't believe it, but would be good to see it in black & white without revealing any of the applicant's details.

So no, I cannot provide documented proof, but I'm sure there will be others who can verify in due course.

Don't be silly - sure Daithi is not Todd Andrews Grandson or David Andrews Nephew.

If you have ever wondered how someone who has next to no on-screen charisma and still hasn't learned how to interview someone capably even after all these years when he could have tried to improve some bit, then just look at Ryan's family tree and think about who runs RTE.

Not sure they'll work there.

They may spend a small amount of their leisure time there and get paid a scandalous amount for doing so, if they're following in the footsteps of the DLB.

Is it my imagination or has the hype surrounding the toy show been blown out of all proportion since Tubridy took over the Late Late Show? I see article headlines in the Irish Examiner every day this week counting down the sleeps. That advert with the father and daughter watching it from the car gets on my wick FFS.

Breakng news:

The Toy Show is Roald Dahl themed but it's "not self-indulgent"!!

AND the DLB will be dressed up as Fantastic Mr. Fox..

I'd say he'll be taking a bit of George's Marvellous Medicine too.

Jesus the verbal diarrhea-meter has gone into overdrive more than usual this morning.

Love the fact he had to correct himself about getting irish listeners all over the world....
"It could be Instagram....it could be the radio show." Ha ha ha ...first thought was Instagram.
A few months ago it was the Big Bad...now instatubs gets a mention on every show.

Edit: here come the usual I'm crying letters as well. "Kindness in the air".

By promoting the Toy Show so much and giving it so much focus, it helps obfuscate how poor the rest of the season of shows is. He has had his time in charge of the LLS, probably too long, and it's time to pass it on to somebody new. Maybe let him come back every year and host the Toy Show.

The endless promotion by him about the Toy Show is really all about money. By bringing in high audience figures it helps him justify his salary and position as host of the Late Late Show.

The top platinum package was up for grabs for €87,500 with the gold option priced at €59,500 and the premium option up for €57,000.

The range of options include various live mentions during the November 27 show and up to 175,000 streams on the RTÉ Player during the first ad break.

The cancer texts are so weird.

People randomly texting him in to inform him that they have cancer.

"I've just got a text from a person with cancer. Hope you're ok. We all have sadness in our lives. Yours is macro sadness"

Is he still going on about it? Just heard foxy lady. We get it!
You've been talking about it incessantly since January this year.
And he's got the hour off tomorrow as well to prepare.
Worse thing is we're gonna be hearing about it after the fact as well for weeks on end no doubt.
Imagine all the "I was crying on the couch" texts next Monday morning.
Everything is going to be "amazing" and "kind" in these "difficult times."

I think I'll pass on his offer of being a beacon of light during these dark times, don't think my stomach could take any more saccharine sweetness masking a deadly streak of misery, or should that be a string of misery?
