The Other Late Late Show
If you keep an eye on Twitter and notice conversations about television shows like we do, you’ve probably seen people chatting about “The Late Late Show,” but not the one we know and love. Instead, they’re talking about Ireland’s Late Late Show, one of the longest-running talk shows in the world (behind only NBC’s Tonight Show). Considered the most popular show in Ireland, the show has had only four permanent hosts in its long history, including one, Gay Byrne, who hosted most of the show’s first 37 years. It is often a focal point of the nation’s conversation, with guests ranging from the usual actors and singers to politicians, authors, sports figures and more. It runs from September to May each year and takes summers off. What would happen if Craig Ferguson was a guest on Ireland’s Late Late Show, or if he invited current host Ryan Tubridy to be guest on the LLS in the U.S.? We think they’d have fun.
