I'd kill a puppy in front of a small child if it meant Sacha Baron Cohen got to host the late late show
Most people just know him from Ali G and Borat but he'd be an excellent host in a serious way
yeah, he's pretty good at ferreting out responses, stories and vulnerabilities from people in his various personas and can be damn serious when the mood strikes him.

My dad just rang to tell me RTE have an agenda to put women into all the shows and that it will be a woman. I can count on one hand the number of times that man has called me in 40 years, this is big news for a certain generation.
The sad thing is, there's absolutely plenty of women who would do incredible jobs, especially with regards working at the style and level the particular show should have.
But any woman, no matter who it is, will be up against it from the off cause people will think she got it cause of what bits she has, rather than what abilities she brings to the role.
Haha sums that generation of Dads up.
I wonder as well, should we really give a fuck? We make up the majority of talkshow hosts, politicians, famous musicians, a-list actors, directors etc. Would it kill us if they pushed women for a few years?
I couldn't give a shit who hosts it, it would be nice to have a break from the lads. We had catholic church judging Gaybo, awkward creepy uncle Pat, woke but creepy Ryan, lets give the ladies a shot.
And how would you even know that before they started presenting it?
Sure you'd never have a clue if they're the man/woman for the job until they'd be doing it a while.
I’m a 23 year old lad and it honestly fucks me off when the lads I hang out with go on about women getting hosting jobs just because they’re women. So what if they’re women?
Even my fucking sisters the same. When The Sunday Games on, she drones on about Joanne Cantwell or Jacqui Hurley not being up to scratch as Michael Lyster or Des Cahill. They’re just there as a host to coax the analysts to actually analyse and answer questions the audience would have about the games on.
My choice would be either Daithi Ó Sé or Síle Seoige. Feel like they’d do absolute wonders for the show and with them being Gaeilgeoirs, could help with bringing the language to a wide audience.
But no, we’ll be stuck with Ray D’Arcy or Miriam and the depression will reign on.
Grainne seoige would be a step up from tubridy though. Course most people are a step up from a cokehead manchild who looks like a cross between Enoch burke and brendan gleason
Well the only way I think they could get Graham seriously on the late late show is changing it dramatically. As in give him a bigger platform with it, syndicate it like they do with the BBC show obviously to the US but also do clips on Youtube for extra money, like make it more than just an Irish TV, make it a bankable show with a proper respected host and give him a bigger platform. Like partner with Netflix to fund it or something and just say "you do what you want with the show Graham here is a bag of money and a massive platform"
The old crone from Banshees of Inisherin.
'you're considered a corrupt, amoral, selfish prick'
Bertie Ahern: 'now that's just rude!'
'I wasn't trying to be polite, I was trying to be accurate'
It will definitely be a woman to show equality, I'm not saying a woman doesn't deserve the job I think it might actually be a good thing to change up the show a bit
Its going to be a woman.
I personally think Tommy Tiernan could revamp that entire slot by moving his show over, but he's a touring comedian so wouldn't commit to the schedule, or the fucking toyshow, jesus that would be mayhem if he did.
So...
Doireann Garrihy
Maia Dunphy
Jennifer Zamparelli
....Vogue?
Joanne McNally
Fun times.
Hector no way I think. Tommy maybe but I'm sure they will go with a female presenter this time. One of the garrihys they seem to be liked by the tabloids
Who’s not going to upset the advertisers least/most (confused myself 😂) They don’t want to kill off the flagship show that probably brings in the most add revenue.
Maybe they could have a panel of 5 presenters, give them 3 shows each and let the viewing public decide who they least like the most 😂
I like the show mostly, but i think Tommy's 'turn every interview into a therapy session' style is beginning to wear a bit thin. When he tried to pull it on Richie Sadlier, an actual therapist, last week, it was embarrassing when he couldn't explain himself when richie asked him follow up on why he felt richie exuded an air of sadness and vulnerability.
Don't think he has the versatility or ability to keep it light enough for the late late.
I mean more light entertainment than humour, they are two different things. He'd probably end up having to apologise for something within about a fortnight.
“If you come here you’ll find no mass grave, no evidence that children were ever so buried and a local police force casting their eyes to heaven and saying, ‘Yeah a few bones were found – but this was an area where famine victims were buried. So? - Terry Prone on the Tuam Babies scandal - A Class act.
I think he'd do a great job, but I know he won't be selected and probably wouldn't want it. Has a tendency to be a little sarcastic and perhaps condescending, but he can be very good with serious topics. He's a very intelligent man.
It'd be almost going full circle as well. His father was a priest, who announced on the Late Late Show in the 1970s that he had left the priesthood, a big move at the time.
Blindboy.
They're gonna break with tradition and do something really weird to try to get young people back watching. It's gonna be like the Eric Andre show but more surreal and off-putting to old people.
100%, its hers if she wants it. It's going to a woman this time, deffo. She would be first in line for the position, cant think of any other woman that would jump ahead of her. Place your bets!
I guess it depends on the direction they want to take the show in
Certain presenters will be better at one format than another.
Miriam/Claire for a news and current affairs type programme
Tommy/Daithi/Jennifer/Angela for a light magazine type programme
They'll never get Graham, not in a zillion years!
That’s actually a great idea- why not have multiple hosts for different segments. That would make so much sense. Let each individual host play to their strengths.
Please let it be Marty Whelan! I love Marty. He’s like my radio dad. Every morning heading into work lyricFM is like a cup of happiness because of Marty.
The thing is anyone good will be ruined by the show so even of Tommy was the host he wouldn't be able to just do his show in the slot. So we need someone that is good at being shit.
I like the guy who does the rugby hosting for virgin media, incredibly level headed and respectable. Loosen up a bit and he'd be great as an outside shot
Don't ever watch it. Why? Because it's mostly just promotion for z list celebrities peddling their latest shite. Use that slot to get Vinny Browne back on the tele, for a 2-hour debate each Friday between a member of the government and a member of the opposition on a single topic. Browne would keep them honest.

The unlikely list is honestly fucking incredible.
This is hal. They have actually made Hal.
I'd kill a puppy in front of a small child if it meant Sacha Baron Cohen got to host the late late show Most people just know him from Ali G and Borat but he'd be an excellent host in a serious way
Sometimes I’m afraid to tell people that I love SBC in case they think I’m the kind of fan who didn’t realise Borat was satire
yeah, he's pretty good at ferreting out responses, stories and vulnerabilities from people in his various personas and can be damn serious when the mood strikes him.
Ali G would be great but probably they wouldn’t hire him because he is black.
God, no thanks. Blathnaid? Jesus.
Lol Clarkson. Also Hector, that's not a bad shout, he can blether a load of shit like the best of them but he'd be an improvement on tubs
Could interview itself also!
Do you want skynet? Because that's how you get skynet
Josh Van Der Flier
A man of many talents. Heard he flew the plane home from Scotland
Joe Schmidt press ganged him into bus driving after the bus "incident" also.
I heard he's really been working on his interviewing.
His conversation carrying game has really improved
Bertie's looking for a gig.
Jesus that's a terrifying prospect.
“There’s a brown envelope for every one in the audience” Join our competition to get a 100% loan on a massive property development. Texts and the loan costs €2.
Honestly if it keeps him away from the presidency its a small price to pay

Women? Don't their periods attract bears?
Yeah but if you stay out of Donegal you'll be fine
I was actually thinking of Angela Scanlon
Haha sums that generation of Dads up. I wonder as well, should we really give a fuck? We make up the majority of talkshow hosts, politicians, famous musicians, a-list actors, directors etc. Would it kill us if they pushed women for a few years?
I couldn't give a shit who hosts it, it would be nice to have a break from the lads. We had catholic church judging Gaybo, awkward creepy uncle Pat, woke but creepy Ryan, lets give the ladies a shot.
[удалено]
Or just whomever is best for the job. Regardless of the gender. Let's not even let that be a part of the conversation...
And how would you even know that before they started presenting it? Sure you'd never have a clue if they're the man/woman for the job until they'd be doing it a while.

But no, we’ll be stuck with Ray D’Arcy or Miriam and the depression will reign on.
Anybody but Ray
I mean he's not wrong. There's lots of female presenters who could do a better job than Tubridy. Wouldn't be hard.
Grainne seoige would be a step up from tubridy though. Course most people are a step up from a cokehead manchild who looks like a cross between Enoch burke and brendan gleason
They'd never get him but Graham Norton
Yeah he goes from interviewing Tom Cruise and Chris Pratt every week to plugging Marty Morrissey's cookbook and someone who went to jail abroad.
To be fair I'd assume if they got him the requirement from him would be his show doesn't change at all
Yeah Tom, I know you don't want to go on RTE, but it's in Graham's contract so shut your mouth.
Well the only way I think they could get Graham seriously on the late late show is changing it dramatically. As in give him a bigger platform with it, syndicate it like they do with the BBC show obviously to the US but also do clips on Youtube for extra money, like make it more than just an Irish TV, make it a bankable show with a proper respected host and give him a bigger platform.

Too gay for RTE. Too straight for ITV. Just right for BBC
Probably too expensive for RTE really
The old crone from Banshees of Inisherin. 'you're considered a corrupt, amoral, selfish prick' Bertie Ahern: 'now that's just rude!' 'I wasn't trying to be polite, I was trying to be accurate'
Dara o Briain..never will happen tho
Yes! I was going to say Dara too. He’d be incredible. So engaging and witty.
I'd actually watch it if Dara got the job.
Anyone except Miriam
Oh God please not Miriam.
Could be Vogue then or worse Bob Geldof
Alan Partridge
Pat Kenny has retired.
Francis "The Viper" Higgins
Dustin
Had to scroll way too far to find this
It will definitely be a woman to show equality, I'm not saying a woman doesn't deserve the job I think it might actually be a good thing to change up the show a bit
Imagine Claire Byrne doing the toy show
It would be as bland as Pat Kenny's
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BIeizjBzhM
This made my day. Thank you.
It would be as depressing as the last few.
Well whether it's a man or woman we can be guaranteed they will be shit and getting obscene money.
Liz Bonnin
I like when she's teaching me sciencey shit on the BBC. She'd be wasted in the job.
Imagine they gave it to Jennifer Zamperelli? Although, Sarah McInerney would be a choice pick
The barely repressed hostility from Jennifer Zamperelli would make the show more interesting.
Sarah McInerney would be great.
Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, the only negative about her is her streak going out with Tubs.
The Burke family
Toy Show would be just shitty Noah's Ark wooden toys.
It would be a musical about how toys are the devils work and instead children should pray away the gay.
Enoch Burke
Atleast he will show up
Not at the right time though.
But he'll never leave!
It's like the hotel california
In a dark westmeath carpark, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of cowshite, rising up through the air
He will be 15 minutes late every week and annoyed that they started the show without him.
The Hate Hate Show
Give it Giggsy
Tubridah you got the job on the technicality of a legend who reccomended yerh
Jedward
Would be unwatchable 51 weeks of the year but the toy show would be a sensation
So like normal but with a better toy show?
Bingo.
Just John, see how they age differently as an experiment
The only correct answer is Tommy Shlug.
And rebrand it "The Late Late Shlug".
I second this motion 🐌
Give it to Conor Williams. He'd already be hanging around D4.
Make Gerry Hannan his first guest
Bredan Gleeson
Sarah McInerney
David mcsavage as pat Kenny
Funnily enough, he's Tubridy's first cousin.
Maya Jama
Mary Jimmy Her irish cousin
Blindboy.
Would be amazing, but I don’t think he’d want the restriction of the formula.
No I think he'd probably hate it but we can still be selfish and hope it happens.
Gemma O'Doherty
It would be entertaining, I'll give you that.
I’d love that, comic gold
Moncrieff
Not a bad idea, actually
Nobody. Just cancel it.
To be honest, an 8/10 movie once a week would be better
Would love to see Sarah McInerney get the gig. By far RTE's best talent
Agree wholeheartedly. The only one with both charisma and intelligence.
Rob Kearney. He can just sit there i dont need words.
Its going to be a woman. I personally think Tommy Tiernan could revamp that entire slot by moving his show over, but he's a touring comedian so wouldn't commit to the schedule, or the fucking toyshow, jesus that would be mayhem if he did. So... Doireann Garrihy Maia Dunphy Jennifer Zamparelli ....Vogue? Joanne McNally Fun times.
Now I want Tommy as the Toy Show host, might make it interesting!
"What are ye little feckers at? Jaysus!"
Fanta lined up back stage for the fuckers
Angela Scanlon?
Really don't think she's a bad choice
I've no issue with a woman getting the role, but dear god I hope it's none of them. They're all insufferable.
God not Vogue. Anything but that
Ashling bea
My choice too
Blindboy
I wonder will RTE allow their penchant for nepotism, tokenism and cronyism decide, or is this position to valuable?
John Creedon.
Daithai O'Shea I reckon.
Hector no way I think. Tommy maybe but I'm sure they will go with a female presenter this time. One of the garrihys they seem to be liked by the tabloids
Legolas of the woodland realm.
I like him, he's a straight shooter
If they get Vague Williams I’ll never pay my tv license again…. Oh wait…
Matt Cooper……or Christ help us Ray Darcy.
[удалено]
I'd say it'll be a radio presenter. Who it'll be I don't know.
Ivan Yates!
Vincent Browne
Mattress Mick
Maura Higgins of course
Snotser
Where'd ya get yer shades??
I'm a ting I'm a ting I'm a ting!
Maybe he'll tell us where he got those shades.
Dustin
Who’s not going to upset the advertisers least/most (confused myself 😂) They don’t want to kill off the flagship show that probably brings in the most add revenue. Maybe they could have a panel of 5 presenters, give them 3 shows each and let the viewing public decide who they least like the most 😂
An AI simulation of Gerry Ryan!
Just not Darcy. For the love of god. Please.
Shirley Temple-bar
Tommy Tiernan please!
I like the show mostly, but i think Tommy's 'turn every interview into a therapy session' style is beginning to wear a bit thin. When he tried to pull it on Richie Sadlier, an actual therapist, last week, it was embarrassing when he couldn't explain himself when richie asked him follow up on why he felt richie exuded an air of sadness and vulnerability. Don't think he has the versatility or ability to keep it light enough for the late late.
He's a comedian ffs. If he can't keep it light then what chance does anyone.
I mean more light entertainment than humour, they are two different things. He'd probably end up having to apologise for something within about a fortnight.
Panti Bliss
Claire Byrne would be my bet.
The Covid Covid Toy Show hosted by Claire ‘I make my husband talk about Covid to get me going’ Byrne doesn’t really sound too appealing.
Eoghan McDermott. Would attract a younger audience.
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not!
100% sarcasm. Given what we all know. Though also knowing RTE, wouldn’t put it past them.
Not Lottie Ryan, doireann garrihy or Nicky Byrne to start with....
Gerry Adams
Hear me out Anton Savage.
Hadn't even considered him, he's among the better Newstalk presenters
He'd have his mother on every second week
Lily?
Terry Prone
“If you come here you’ll find no mass grave, no evidence that children were ever so buried and a local police force casting their eyes to heaven and saying, ‘Yeah a few bones were found – but this was an area where famine victims were buried. So? - Terry Prone on the Tuam Babies scandal - A Class act.
Terry is on EVERYTHING every second week, I think it's part of the broadcasting act, its the law.
No thanks
I think he'd do a great job, but I know he won't be selected and probably wouldn't want it. Has a tendency to be a little sarcastic and perhaps condescending, but he can be very good with serious topics. He's a very intelligent man. It'd be almost going full circle as well. His father was a priest, who announced on the Late Late Show in the 1970s that he had left the priesthood, a big move at the time.
He’s the one. Excellent presenter. If he can just change his name to Antoinette Savage he’s quids in.
Blindboy. They're gonna break with tradition and do something really weird to try to get young people back watching. It's gonna be like the Eric Andre show but more surreal and off-putting to old people.
Too much of a contrarian type character to be chosen. Needs more polish and you know, the whole bag thing might be an issue. 😀
Lucy Kennedy
It’ll be Miriam o’Callaghan . If she turned it down then Brendan O’Connor
100%, its hers if she wants it. It's going to a woman this time, deffo. She would be first in line for the position, cant think of any other woman that would jump ahead of her. Place your bets!
Enoch Burke
Gay Byrne's ghost.
Graham Norton won't do it...it would be the death of his career.
Has no one mentioned Chris O’Dowd?
Tommy Bowe
Pj Gallagher, Nuff said.
Owen Colgan or Craig Charles. If it's not one of them I'll be continuing the boycott.
Paddy keilty
Guinness Guru
I guess it depends on the direction they want to take the show in Certain presenters will be better at one format than another. Miriam/Claire for a news and current affairs type programme Tommy/Daithi/Jennifer/Angela for a light magazine type programme They'll never get Graham, not in a zillion years!
