REJOICE!
Aw.
The Late Late Show on RTÉ One tomorrow at 9.35pm.
Still milking the flipping Toy Show. Wasn’t someone on last week from the Toy Show as well?
Hope Katie’s asked about her opinion of gays and lesbians, and whether she regards them as equal to straight people.
Fracking hell. 21 years ago Sonia won a silver medal, and we’re supposed to be interested today?
Upcoming on the Late Late I suppose:
– Country & Western dedication show
– The Fureys, new release of an old song.
– Ronan O’Gara, the story so far, and why a rugby ball is egg-shaped.
– Imelda May (!) on living in London, and appearing on the late Late every couple of months, and her new album.
– Frank McNamara on his years on the Late Late and why he’s not on it now. And how he and Theresa survived the hounds.
– Stephen Roche on his cycling career – surprise guest Nicholas Roche.
– Eamonn Coughlan and his short political career
– Mike Murphy and his high-profile attendance at an anti-Israel protest and on how he caught Gaybo out with his Candid Camera.
– Endless re-hashes available.
