The Late Late Show's only gone out and gotten itself new digs out in RTE.
Tubbers was joined by Nicky Byrne, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary, Deepak Chopra and boxer Andy Lee. The real reason we were watching, however, was to check out the new set.
First and foremost, the audience seemed more than a little unimpressed with the guests lined up.

As for the set, some thought it looked more than a little familiar...

The new set on @RTELateLateShow with band in balcony reminds me of Alan Partridge https://t.co/Z9Uz7w1zd5 #LateLateShow #latelate

...while others had a problem with a certain item of furniture.
WHAT IS THAT FUCKING LAMP DOING THERE? #latelate

Can somebody move that lamp under the logo. It's very annoying #latelate

However, most people recognised the set from another show.
I knew the new #latelate set reminded me of something....Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry...;) pic.twitter.com/CbuGztH6x4

The new #LateLate set looks like a cross between the Jerry Springer* and Jeremy Kyle* set (*never actually seen there shows)

The section were Ryan was standing when introducing the show kinda reminded me of the set of Jerry springer #latelate #newset

Time to replace the old Late Late theme tune with this, we think.
