The Late Late Show |
The Late Late Tribute Shows are a series of special editions of the world's longest-running [1] chat show, The Late Late Show broadcast on RTÉ One in Ireland each Friday evening.
Over decades the shows have featured a broad range of well-known public figures including Micheál Mac Liammóir, Joe Dolan, Maureen Potter, Michael O'Hehir, Brian Lenihan, Jimmy Magee, Christy Moore, Mike Murphy and Paul McGrath.
In 1999, there was a special programme marking six months since the Omagh bombing and there was also a special show in the wake of 9/11. [2] There were also tribute shows celebrating Irish music and a Late Late Show special devoted to Irish comedians. Individual bands and musicians to have been given a tribute show include The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Chieftains, The Dubliners, [3] U2, Westlife [4] and, most recently, Ronnie Drew himself. [5]
The Tribute Shows, along with the Toy Show, tends to be one of the few editions of The Late Late Show to require advance preparation before the week of broadcast. [6]
