On The Late Late Show…

RTÉ stalwart Charlie Bird will be back in studio, with a cast of willing volunteers to launch the inaugural “Climb with Charlie” event.
Charlie, along with Vicky Phelan, hopes to inspire thousands of Irish people to climb Croagh Patrick and other peaks around the country (and across the world!) on April 2nd next.
We’ll hear from Charlie, Vicky, Mary McAleese, Davy Fitzgerald, Baz Ashmawy, Joanna Donnelly, Dr Harry Barry, Dermot Bannon, Karl Henry and many, many more who are throwing their full support behind the epic climb.
Leitrim actor and writer Seamus O’Rourke will be giving us his inimitable take on “new year, new you”, while comedian Jason Byrne will be giving us all a laugh through his trials and tribulations of the last year.
We’ll be showcasing the magnificent music of the Beatles with stunning performances by Niamh Farrell and Somebody’s Child.
And we may even get to have a look inside Bosco’s box…All will be revealed!
The Late Late Show tomorrow on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.

I feel like such a mean male appendage to say this but she might as well be a presenter on RTE now.
Don’t compare yourself to something that’s useful.
Oh FFS.
I wish them both well, but this is just more of the same revolving door RTE LLS luvviedom. They both need to cop on and show respect to those who pass and their families, all unremarked and unna,ed.
Dying isn’t celebrity.
Will Tubridy ask Phelan who is responsible for her predicament in the first place?
They will both be doing a duet of Louie Louie.
Tony Holohan or Mary Harney not attending then?
Any odds on who won’t see 2022 without a big change?

“Oh great, Jason Byrne”.
Said nobody. Ever.
Thanks Hank. I got a great hearty laugh at your joke/ factual statement.
I take great exception to the description above. Talking utter crap and shouting like you have emotional issues is not comedy, guy is about as funny as a fungal toe nail infection. Actually scratch that, I’d say the fungus is more entertaining.
Rte will show us mere mortals how to die and be amazing.Once I saw the photo of m o callaghan,with her arm around vicky two years ago ,I said ,she will be used to distract from the guilty.
this is gone beyond a joke now….
I’m glad I’m not a television watcher. The Late Late seems to feature a small group of people serially.
Uncanny! This toss calls to mind when Alan Partridge pitched an idea for “Knowing M.E., Knowing You” to Tony Hayers in which he’d talk to M.E. sufferers about the condition.
“You know, we intersperse it with their favourite pop songs, make it light-hearted, you know, give them a platform. You’ve got to keep the energy up, because… You don’t like it?”
