Uncle Gaybo has spoken everyone, so it must be true. He also insists he could have resolved the Garth Brooks crisis, and the Middle East one too. Okay well just the former, but we'll get to that in a minute.
The broadcasting legend told The Evening Herald that he thought The Late Late Show would continue for years to come, while shows like The Graham Norton Show and Jonathan Ross were just "a fashion that we're going through and eventually that fashion will run out of steam".
He went on to say; "No show in the world compared to The Late Late Show and gained the affection of its audience, per head of population, like it did [...]There is always room for a talk show of that kind."
In fairness, as much as we love Graham Norton here (as you've probably gathered), he does, annoyingly enough, have a point. We bitch and moan about The Late Late Show, but what would we do if it suddenly came off the air? The people would be marching! And where would all that negative energy we place slagging Tubridy and his guests go? We'd probably just implode as a nation.
Speaking of the people marching, as we said earlier, Gay also reckons he was the man who could have solved Garth-Gate. "I would have had an entire Late Late Show about it, with all the interested parties present in the studio." he said. And I'd have sorted it out and he'd have done three shows."
Oh yeah, hindsight's 20/20 Byrne!
Again though, he is probably right. Don't know if Enda Kenny will be happy to hear that though...
