Late Late Show - Pat Kenny, time to go?

Dara O Briain. Time to kick back and have a laugh on Friday nights. There is enough current affairs during the week.
 
It would be good to have Dara back on the telly doing something alright - but not the Late Late.
Not sure about Ray D'arcy either - imagine the prize for the audience - a bobble head Ray - nah don't think so.

Enough of the Gerry Ryan's, Ray Darcy, Miriams, Tubridy's ........ I still vote for John Creedon!

I actualy think it's time to go but not only for overpaid Pat but also for the Late Late Show. Time has moved past this attempt to be an all for one show trying to be everything from light entertainment over politics to game show.

And in respect of the licensing fee I think it's just another stealth tax, even if I don't want to watch RTE and just have a TV to be able to watch internet telly or the UK or european channels via the DISH I have to pay because I could receive RTE.

I think he would be a pretty good choice really.

His light hearted/humorous abilities are probably not in doubt but I think he probably has the intellect, tact and empathy required for more serious subject matter too.
 
What about that sexy high kicking mullet head Brendan Kilkenny?
 
There is no way that Dara O'Briain would want, or be offered, the job so stop torturing yourself !

I have not been a regular watcher of the LLS in years. I assume the core audience to be people older than me. That consitituency remains from Gay Byrne's time and need to be catered for.

The next host needs to be an experienced broadcaster and a safe pair of hands. Gerry Ryan could get it, though that could alienate many of the existing viewership. Most likely to be someone already in-house, more of the same.

I suspect that, in a year or two, perople will be looking back fondly at Pat's time in charge, much as they currently do at Gay's, even though in his time the show was uneven.
 
I would agree with your comment re G Ryan alienating existing viewers - I'd be one for sure - I just think he's an overpaid loud mouth smutty geit!
 
Dara O'Briain is too intelligent to want it, and too funny to be given it.

Now that Q&A is going/gone, would John Bowman be a candidate ? I have no idea what he's like in 'casual' conversations though.

Charlie Bird could be in with a chance too imo(say it ain't so) :(

Mark Little might be a good choice but he probably has more integrity/ambition than to go for it too...

Dead right. Not another book/film-pimping 2nd rate celeb with the two scripted 'funny incidents' to relay. Let's move on...
