Louis Walsh
On The Late Late Show…
Gareth Naughton writes:
Having successfully rejoined the judging panel on The X Factor, Louis Walsh will be revealing his next big project with a very special announcement.
Actress Miriam Margolyes – the ultimate open book – will be joining Ryan Tubridy in studio to share more hilarious stories from her long and varied career on stage and screen.
A trio of comedians will be tickling funny bones. The ever popular Brendan Grace will be treating viewers to some stand up as will Entertainment from D’Telly’s Pat Shortt. And Jason Byrne will be bringing his unique brand of mayhem to the Late Late set.
The RTÉ Concert Orchestra will be in studio to accompany three of Ireland’s best and most enduring music acts – Aslan,Finbar Furey (with Cór na nÓg) and Glen Hansard. They will be performing songs featured on ‘As Seen on The Late Late Show’, the double album currently on release and raising funds for the St Vincent de Paul.
We’ll be celebrating the best of Irish artisan produce this Christmas and making some unusual suggestions for festive fayre with TV chefs Rachel Allen and Richard Corrigan.
*sets fire to telly*
The Late Late Show, at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
Sweet Jesus. What’s the point?
Why the actual fook does Tubs get paid so much, to effectively have a nice little chat (the type you have with your nana) with a bunch of bumholes we’ve seen at least 10 times on the effing late late this year alone.
Ah, a photo of Louis – what more enticement to stay in could possibly be offered?
Brendan Grace’s mortgage payment must be due again.
Louis, pat shortt and Brendan grace. Jay-ziz. Glen Hansard seems lovely and all but I’ve had enough of the oul triangle on the battered guitar.
Speaking of rubbish tv, did anyone witness Ardal in Ireland on more 4 last night? tweedle deee, to be shure be garra nonsense. I thought O’Hanlon better than this.
I recorded that Ardal thing…. I thought it might have a “Channel4 does Nationwide” feel to it… no? :)
I like Nationwide for it’s lack of pretense and down to earth frankness… and it’s always got a positive spin making it a nice escape from all the negative crap going on in the world. Throw in Ardal for a giggle… so I thought…. I’ll still give it a spin tho :)
I also had high hopes. Was thinking a Michael Palin style travel around Ireland show. Meeting interesting people etc but with some dry wit thrown in. It’s awful. Kissed the Blarney Stone. A red head convention pub thing. Holy healing relics. A matchmaker. Magical holy water in Derry….are you getting the picture?
agree with nationwide, it’s actually a great show
Mary Kennedy is the great show. Like a fine wine she is.
Saw her in the flesh, a striking woman she is
The dread words “unique brand of mayhem”

Margolyes MIGHT give good value

Tubs’ll never handle that.
I’m convinced that the Late Late is sponsored by the Vintners
It sounds like Reeling in the Years.
If they did a mash up of LLS repeats from 1980 onwards and presented it as live each week, nobody would know the difference.
Why is that broadsheet happily publish the Late Late press release every week?
Sure it provides an outlet for the same old lazy comments repeated ad infintum but at the end of the day, this is marketing. You can *set fire to the telly* all you want but this is basically free advertising that ensures the late late continues even though ostensibly that is not what broadsheet seems to want.
As a wider observation – In any political conversation, it takes roughly 2 and a half comments before someone is being accused of being a FG/SF/Israeli/Big Business shill. Yet, people seem to have no problem with posts that are clearly shilling for other more financial reasons. Whether it be repeal scarves with the most tenous of links to Ireland, Viral Gym advertising (lets point out that we blurred out the gyms name to draw attention to it!) or the endless RTE promotions, No one seems to ever bat an eyelid.
We love to hate the establishment, man.
You can’t see my beautiful eyes…
More and more you seem to be posting your negative perception of the site as a whole. Not sure what’s left for you…
Movie trailers..you were spot on.
I can’t lie that in the last year I’ve had a far more negative impression of this site due to the ongoing descent into conspiracy madness that it is indulging.
*spooky noise*
Begone from this site! This is a baaaaaaaad site. The content is meh and the opinionssssss. They are bad also.
*wooooooooooo*
I can understand that. Certainly veered from the usually good natured spot due to questionable content.
Seems to be landing safely now though.
BS are paid to post this stupid.
Jesus Wept, we don’t sell posts.
Well that was fantastically, unintentionally (or perhaps intentionally) hilarious.
No.
Imagine the damage that thumb has inflicted over the years.
That vile money hungry so and so has done more to ruin the Irish music industry than anyone before him, pushing his tacky tasteless crass to the airwaves and shunning acts who are infinitely more talented. This country is absolutely saturated with incredible talent and it’s a crying shame that the likes of Mr Walsh has forced the music industry to become the big plastic fake marketing industry that it is now. Will the general public ever grow tired of that utter tripe that he pushes?
I am no fan of Louis Walsh, but you can’t rest the blame solely on his shoulders, in fairness.
Completely agree with the rest of what you say though.
Yes. People must only like the music you like.
Guess you totally missed the point being made. It’s about airing our talented, most gifted musicians and singers, that covers all genres, not one taste.
This Late Late trolling campaign is reaching Alexander Pope proportions. Thank you for the weekly joy. *carpet bomb Montrose*
I should know better
If that post is a BS take on the Late Late line up and not (shudder) a press release. Please say it ain’t so.
