The show was literally steered by the late great Gay Byrne and since his demise it's become more and more apparent that it was his talent that gave the show any pathos.
There have been a couple of afforts to replace him but the latest incumbent is disastrous.
His name is Ryan Tubridy and he's basically robotic,literally talentless, uncharismatic, incapable of a one on one interview and appears to lack any interest in the person but more in his next question.
His preaching about racism (Ireland has about 3% non whites),sexism, incompetent health services, transport services, education, investment,housing but NEVER the government. Every pop group that guests the show is his favourite band He is an ex member of a government party and it shows. Theres always a dead kid,family loss,terminally ill person etc as the subject for the last 40 minutes It's ridiculous.
