Maybe, I had no time for Gay but never paid him no any attention either, if I ever watched the LLS it was for the guests
But it was his show, he presumably made it what it was when it was must see TV for adults, they should have let it go with him and at least rebranded.
I donāt know Kielty bar Iād probably recognise him in the street but couldnāt be tuned in to Irish life anymore

I have a vague recollection of him saying his was unhappy withbut after the first season. He took over the production in season 2 and thatās when The Late Late Show, as we remember it, was properly spawned.
Itās RTEs biggest cash cow. Itās going nowhere anytime soon.

Be interesting how this goes mind you in the new climate
Gay left the Late Late Show around 1964 and went off to England I think (or maybe the States). Frank Hall took over as presenter for a few months, flopped, and Gay probably came back with his tail between his legs after not making it elsewhere

Itās pretty much live, bar the odd pre-recorded interview with a major celeb. Itās often trotted out as an excuse when itās compared to Norton.

Frank Hall was some cunt. It would kill him to let you see a bit of tit when he was the censor and he carrying on an adulterous relationship with Frankie Byrne.
