The Late Late Show (1962–present)

Tubridy Tonight was an Irish chat show hosted by Ryan Tubridy that aired for five series on RTÉ One between 2004 and 2009. The programme featured guest interviews (usually three per show), audience participation and live music from both a guest music group and the house band. Tubridy Tonight aired every Saturday night, except during the summer months, directly after the main evening news. The show's house musical act was Clint Velour and the Camembert Quartet.

Tubridy Tonight was the first successful Saturday night chat show to be broadcast by RTÉ since the ending of Kenny Live in 1999. The programme had regular viewing figures of 450,000,[1] however, the show also regularly fell victim to so-called "Saturday Night Syndrome", with The Late Late Show, broadcast on Friday nights, frequently featuring supposedly better guests.[1] In 2009 Tubridy Tonight came to an end when RTÉ announced that Tubridy would succeed Pat Kenny as host of The Late Late Show for the following series.[2]

History

Replacing Kenny Live

Upon Gay Byrne's retirement from The Late Late Show in 1999, RTÉ announced that Pat Kenny, host of his own Saturday night chat show, would be Byrne's replacement. Kenny Live had aired since 1988 and had been a staple of the RTÉ schedule since the first series. The departure of Pat Kenny to the Friday night slot left a gap in the schedule. Saturday Live, a programme that had originally aired in the late 1980s and featured a different host every week, was revived as a replacement. The second coming of the show proved unpopular and was ended after only one series. Following the axing of Saturday Live RTÉ declined to produce a Saturday night chat show, instead favouring to show a film after the main evening news. On 9 May 2004 RTÉ announced that Ryan Tubridy would host a new Saturday night chat show in the coming autumn.

Debut

Tubridy Tonight made its debut in 16 October 2004 for an initial run of ten programmes. It featured Gráinne and Síle Seoige, Hector Ó hEochagáin and Royston Brady as the first interviewees. The programme received relatively good reviews, with Shane Hegarty of the Irish Times describing the show as having gotten off "to a ropey start but improved as it went along." Hegarty bemoaned the fact that the show was broadcast live as "it added nothing to the show apart from a weak caption competition for viewers and a distinct nervousness to the host." An element of the programme which included audience participation was described as a "meek replication of Graham Norton's old routine." The new chat show proved popular with audiences and, after the initial run of ten shows ended, another thirteen shows were commissioned thereby extending the first series.

Broadcast

Tubridy Tonight was broadcast from Studio 4 in the RTÉ Television Centre at Donnybrook, Dublin 4. That studio was also home to the shows Friday night rival The Late Late Show. As RTÉ's biggest the studio holds 200 audience members.

Final guests

In the fifth and final season, guests included:

Format

Tubridy Tonight was in RTÉ One's Saturday night slot from 2004 to 2009, having succeeded Kenny Live upon its demise in 1999.[31] The show had an American-style feel about it[32] with a house band, the Camembert Quartet, providing the theme music and introductory pieces befitting the guests.[33] Similar to American chat shows Tubridy Tonight had no opening titles and borrows its informal bantering style from US entertainers such as David Letterman and Conan O'Brien.[34] The studio was revamped for series five in 2008, with the addition of a staircase used by guests and a platform for the house band, although the library theme remained intact.[35] The show followed a simple format. There were usually three interviewees as well as a musical guest. Tubridy may also have conducted a quiz or a game at his leisure with a member of the studio audience, an example being a game of charades based on the Academy Awards,[36] and there also may have been a competition which, upon the show's imminent endage, consisted of a live call to a viewer who may or may not win a prize.

Incidents

Tubridy Tonight is well known for having conducted the last live television interview[37] with model and socialite, Katy French only two weeks before her death[38] in suspicious circumstances.[39] The interview took place on 24 November 2007[40] during the fourth season of the chat show. In 2008, it featured a live fight between chefs Kevin Dundon and Dylan McGrath over their styles of cooking; the duo were on the show to promote Guerrilla Gourmet.[41] On 1 March 2008, Tubridy Tonight saw the first Irish television interview with Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová following their Academy Award-winning show the previous month. Hansard's mother brought the award to display to the nation.[42] In February 2009, the show was subject to a hate campaign on social networking site Facebook.[43]

Praise and competition

A poll found that, within five months of Tubridy Tonight going on air, 38 per cent of adults preferred Tubridy on television, compared with 40 per cent opting for his main rival, Pat Kenny. Tubridy Tonight and its host have also won praise[32] from the former host of The Late Late Show, Gay Byrne. The show competed for guests with The Late Late Show. This led to some criticism and ponderings as to why Tubridy is left with substandard "dull" guests that do not befit his talent.[138] Some guests opted [citation needed] to be interviewed by Tubridy instead of appearing on Kenny's Late Late Show. The competition between the two chat shows was analogous to similar competition in a previous decade between Byrne and Kenny.

Guest survey

A survey by The Times revealed that nearly one fifth of guests on RTÉ chat shows including Tubridy Tonight are RTÉ employees and associates. The survey did not include musical acts.[139]
