'We experienced extraordinary times as a country' in my time as host - Ryan Tubridy
Looking back on
14 years presenting the Late Late Show, Ryan Tubridy said: "As I reflect on my time at the helm, I realise that we experienced extraordinary times as a country in that period.
"During the pandemic particularly, the viewing figures bear testament to the fact that many families across Ireland tuned in as we tried to make sense of it all. In a time of massive disruption and fragmentation of media and fake news, trust matters and I hope The Late Late Show offered that over the years."
RTÉ has stated that no decision has been made, yet, on a replacement host. It has confirmed that May 26th will be Tubridy's last show as host.
