Ryan Tubridy

I always liked Ryan Tubridy from the getgo. Right back to his first interview with the then Taoiseach Brian Cowen. Asked some tough questions and didn't let up. A welcome change in my eyes to previous hosts of the show always skirting around getting straight answers. Afraid to upset the apple cart. Tubridy held strong I thought and did very well.

I liked his humour too, always had a well placed quip. And then brought the Toy show to another level. Not everyone's cup of tea I know, but I thought he was always brilliant.

As for the RTE debacle. He was hung out to dry afaic and up against the systemic failure that was RTE as he said himself, and I agree.
There were a lot of people a part of that particular episode only too happy to let Tubridy take the hit.
 
A talentless dimwit who got a 2 year 50k contract with Virgin radio and has come crawling back to the Irish market when that deal wasnt renewed.

His poor me bullshit has fallen as flat as you'd expect.

RTE have enough problems with public confidence without inviting that eejit back into the fold.

He is a competent if limited broadcaster. Old lags in RTE and his luvvie friends in Irish Times now trying to portray him as a new Parkinson or Wogan to ease his return to the trough!!

Hardly...

He was a good host tbf, well able for differing personalities and subjects. Both humourous topics and serious ones. Very well read and a keen history buff. Pretty competent all round I would say.

I didn't hear any ' poor me' carry on with him either tbh.
