Co Down broadcaster to replace Ryan Tubridy on RTÉ flagship show
“To follow in the footsteps of Gay, Pat and Ryan as the next custodian is a real honour and I can’t thank RTÉ enough for giving me the chance to be a part of the next chapter of such an iconic show. I’m also genuinely humbled to become part of Friday nights for so many Irish people, at home and around the world. I can’t wait to get started on one of the greatest jobs in television.”
The Late Late Show began in 1962, months after the launch of the Irish television service, and was hosted by Gay Byrne in the main until his retirement in 1999. Byrne was succeeded by Pat Kenny later that year, before Tubridy began his 14-season reign in 2009. Tubridy’s last show will be broadcast next Friday.
“Mr Saturday Morning, agh, I tell you what, it’s Mr Friday Night’s the problem,” the presenter said in his introduction to his 5 Live show last Saturday, as negotiations with RTÉ were said to be underway. “That’s the problem, folks.”
