Ryan Tubridy

Résumé
Ryan Tubridy (born 28 May 1973) is an Irish broadcaster. He presented The Late Late Show from 2009 to 2023 and The Ryan Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 from 2015 to 2023. Tubridy previously presented RTÉ 2fm breakfast radio show The Full Irish, and for five seasons from 2004 until 2009, he presented the Saturday night TV chat show Tubridy Tonight on RTÉ One. He later left RTÉ 2fm for a number of years to present The Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1, but returned to RTÉ 2fm in 2010 to present a weekday morning radio show following the end of The Gerry Ryan Show with that presenter's sudden death. Tubridy has also hosted the Rose of Tralee contest on two occasions. Tubridy had been noted as the highest-paid person at RTÉ over several years, and there have been related controversies, including over his refusal to take a voluntary pay cut in 2009, and most notably in 2023 over misstatement of his total earnings and additional payments, at least some made via a costly "barter account" mechanism. The latter controversy ended with RTÉ discontinuing Tubridy's services in August 2023. As part of a two-book deal with HarperCollins—and in a nod to his passion for U.S. politics—Tubridy penned JFK in Ireland, a profile of U.S. President John F. Kennedy's 1963 visit to Ireland. Tubridy's second book, The Irish Are Coming, about the influence of Irish people in the UK, was published in 2013. Born in Booterstown, Dublin, in 1973, Tubridy was educated at Carysfort National School and Blackrock College. Tubridy studied Greek and Latin, and was schooled alongside Craig Doyle and Ryle Nugent. He studied for his Bachelor of Arts (BA) in history and Greek and Roman civilisation at University College Dublin (UCD). While he was interested in the Students' Union when he was attending UCD, Tubridy made his impression while engaging in social, rather than political, activities. He was also a member of the Fianna Fáil Kevin Barry Cumann, and involved with the Dún Laoghaire branch of Ógra Fianna Fáil, as well as Belfield FM.
