Kieran Cuddihy, known for his sharp commentary on Newstalk's 'The Hard Shoulder', is set to become the new face of Virgin Media Television's flagship current affairs program. The Tonight Show, a long-running institution in Irish broadcasting, welcomes Cuddihy as its new host, tasked with navigating a period of significant global and national political change.
Virgin Media Television today announced broadcaster Kieran Cuddihy as the new host of its flagship current affairs program, The Tonight Show . Starting on March 4, Cuddihy will present the Tuesday and Wednesday evening program. The Tonight Show , which has been on air for nearly 20 years, was most recently hosted by Claire Brock and Ciara Doherty, who announced their departure in November.
Cuddihy, a native of Kilkenny, is the current presenter of Newstalk's drivetime show, The Hard Shoulder, and will continue in that role. 'I'm really excited to have the opportunity to present such an important show,' Cuddihy said. 'When you look at the presenters that have gone before me, you realize what an institution the show has become over the years. The Tonight Show has consistently taught us that current affairs programming doesn't have to be staid and predictable - it can be engaging, informative and entertaining when done right. That’s exactly what I’ll be aiming for every Tuesday and Wednesday. I can’t wait.' Ruairi Carroll, Head of News at Virgin Media Television, said: “We’re thrilled to have Kieran at the helm of The Tonight Show. It's a new phase of the show that coincides with major political changes both here and abroad. The Tonight Show has never been afraid to ask tough questions and is always engaging. I have no doubt Kieran will not only maintain the reputation for high standards that our viewers expect, but take it to new heights.
