With 14 years of guests, interviews and specials, the Late Late Show host has given us plenty of memories to look back on.

Each year, this very special edition of the Late Late brings plenty of surprises and funny moments but in 2018, it was a touching proposal that tugged at our heartstrings. With the help of Tubs, James from Mullingar proposed live on air to girlfriend Siobhan during a fake Mr and Mrs-style game. The family hugged it out and cried in front of the studio audience, making Tubridy a bit emotional too. The hotelier even did a live demo with a duvet and a sheet, right there on the studio floor. But, they got there in the end. A shocked Siobhan cried while the very loud audience gave them a good cheer. The pair first met during the Late Late Toy Show in 2020. In 2012, the reunion between one mother and her daughter after three years got us all feeling a bit teary-eyed. The Galway girl spoke about her cancer diagnosis on the Toy Show in 2020. The 10-year-old sat alongside her teddy and giggled as Tubridy gave her some words of motivation. Then, a special Late Late Show episode supported Bird’s initiative, Climb with Charlie which raised money for Pieta House and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. "I understand there is no silver bullet and I have just got to get on with my life.

When Ryan Tubridy was announced as the third host of The Late Late Show in 2009 it came as something of a shock – even to the man himself.

King was such a hit with the Toy Show team that they incorporated him into the Toy Show Musical. “That’s going to be the hardest part of the gig,” an RTÉ insider said. Watching Tubridy nervously de-escalating the feud was more memorable than any of the songs performed that night. It resulted in 300 complaints from viewers, but the cringe factor was what made it so memorable. He also is excellent at talking down the barrel of the camera. He previously said tussling with TDs doesn’t appeal to him as he is “far too polite for it”. I can read the mood when I see it,” Tubridy said. When Pat Kenny took over there were also controversial moments that got the country talking, such as the John Waters, Eoghan Harris and Eamon Dunphy election debates, and tearing up the Toy Show tickets live on air. He had written a letter of complaint to the Irish Times about the lack of films for children. His opening night was the most watched episode – outside of the Toy Show – since Gay Byrne’s retirement in May 1999. It’s hard to underestimate the impact episodes had on Ireland when Gay presented. Some people seem to relish spending their Friday nights giving out about him on Twitter, others talk about breaking down in joyful tears while watching the Toy Show every year.
