RIP Mr.Byrne 4th November 2019

[@jamboreeband]

Nobody could ever replace Gay he was brilliant and my hero, I drove 220 miles this Week to visit his grave and said a few prayers and thanked him for all the Years of entertainment. may he rest in peace

[@pippy3550]

Agree 💯

[@saoirsecruise6713]

Ah that's so nice! Fair play ❤

[@i.marr.6688]

Sad watching Gay now that he's gone ,he was without doubt the greatest chat show host in the world, he was never afraid to ask guests whether they were big Hollywood stars questions that no other chat show host would. He would have made it in the UK US , now Gay and his best friend Eamon Andrews and Terry Wogan are gone but their memories will always be with us . God Bless their souls

"The 50th Late Late Show" was sometime back in the 70s!

[@GirGir183]

No, it was around 2012-ish.

[@markalexwhite]

@@GirGir183 The 50th Anniversary was in 2012 - the 50th Late Late Show was 50 weeks after it started! Read the OP again ;-)

[@tomjohnston1220]

When RTE stayed in the 1950s for decades. Tubridy didn't help, more of the same. Thankfully, there are now a couple of good people at RTE, who are creative and progressive.

[@Nautilus1972]

They should have changed the name when Ga.y left, it was only the 50th anniversary of the name of the show.

[@CianBermingham]

Nautilus1972 He was a god

[@longmemory1620]

round of applause for brian darcy standing up to censorship 5 minutes later Tubridy takes the microphone away when nell mccafrey mentions the pope

[@Nautilus1972]

To know who you're ruled by, look at who you're ruled by. Here? The Pope. In America? The Jews. The JDL is backed up by Mossad and Billions of dollars. Go figure, as they say in Vermont.

[@soeffingwhat]

@@Nautilus1972 Are you saying Ireland is "ruled by the Pope"?? Bullshit, no he doesn't. The Catholic Church has no way near the power here that it used to.

Timestamp?

​@@Nautilus1972ohhhh please 😂

[@violetcoyne5737]

I Just like to say. I have always wanted. To have the pleasure of meeting you. hopefully in another world. RIP GAY

[@johnnywhite58]

he's a real right winger a Fianna Fail ite etc but he was a professional

[@johnking5174]

No, his wife was a staunch Fianna Fail supporter, and she pushed him to vote that way, he said so in an interview back in the late 1980s. Gay Byrne revealed a lot about his beliefs in The Meaning of Life, where he said "we were sold a pup" with regard to religion, and his openly pro LGBT rights, and divorce rights etc. Not so right wing there.

[@Donalob]

Nonsense statement. Also, there's no right wing in Ireland.

[@margaretkenny7281]

@@Donalob no left either then !

[@oliveroneill1388]

whats wrong with his diction #

[@castrolgtx5064]

How do I begin ?? Tubridy has turned the late late show into the Saturday night show with that stupid fuck'n band he was allowed to bring with him to the late late show. Why RTÉ allowed it I don't know. I'm sorry (but if it's not broken don't fix it) why change the original theme??do you see Eastenders or coronation street changing the theme every time the script writer or director leaves after 10 or 20 years I don't think so,, there seems to be no morals anymore get rid of the old bring in the new!! Sometimes the old is best but unfortunately the young will never see that.

[@soeffingwhat]

What do you mean "why change the original theme"?? The theme is the same, the only difference is its performed a bit differently. If you remember when Pat Kenny took over, the theme was changed completely, whereas Tubridy brought it back, so what you said makes no sense whatsoever. And by the way, what's your beef with the Band? They're a bunch of very talented musicians.

[@Nautilus1972]

They didn't change the theme. They played it in a 'big band' arrangement.

[@castrolgtx5064]

Nautilus1972 Don’t change it in the first place end of..

[@castrolgtx5064]

soeffingwhat you’re missing my point completely,, I’m talking about the original late late opening tune why RTÉ changed it I’ll never know,,, you’re obviously a big tubridy and Saturday night live fan and that’s what the late late show is now Saturday night live because the similarities between the two shows are the same. I grew up in the Gaybo era personally I think they should of scrapped the late late show when gay retired because i think the shoes were to big to fill after all he did host the show for 37 years great achievement in fairness. Pat Kenny seriously the minister of arrogance what a prick. I’m not having a go at you and don’t mean to upset you in anyway,,,, but it’s a very true old saying If it ant broke don’t fix it.

[@markc8956]

PK was the one that ruined it - Tubridy restored what the original was all about under the legend that was GB.

[@brendang8177]
