That’s a great choice and should be less bland than Ryan. I thought Angela Scanlon would have been an obvious good choice too. You’d imagine it would help to improve overseas guests, I’m sure Cat Deeley is already booked.

I doubt it’ll get picked up by British broadcaster though, if a British broadcaster wanted him to present a chat show he’d still be doing his own chat show here.

In terms of getting international audiences the best shot is going after a YouTube audience. Like an Irish version of that former Scandinavian chat show Skavlan. I guess they could also do the odd show from the US or UK too like that show, although not sure how well that especially the latter would fly in Ireland.

Very interesting that he’s going to try a juggle both shows. I wonder how he’ll do that with the Late Late Show been on Friday night in Ireland and his radio show been in the UK on Saturday morning. I wonder will he pre-record one or the other.

If he’s remaining UK based, he’ll need to fly out anyway although don’t know how late/early flights to the Salford or London are or he could do the show from Belfast or Dublin. I can’t see it being an issue either way.

It isn't out of the realm for RTE shows to come from Wogan House or BBC shows from Montrose. Wouldn't be surprised if every so often, 5 Live came from Dublin.

Tubridy used to present a few of his Radio 2 cover shows from RTE, and the likes of Carl Mullen on 2fm Breakfast has co-presented from the BBC.
