We made Ryan Tubridy take our 'How Ryan Tubridy Are You' Quiz

And here’s how he got on.

RollingNews.ie RollingNews.ie

RYAN TUBRIDY WAS in our offices recently. So we took the opportunity to find out a little more about him.

And what better way to do that than to make him take our How Ryan Tubridy Are You? quiz?

The questions range from the sartorial…

To the deeply personal.

And Tubs managed to work in not one but TWO celebrity impressions. Here’s how it played out:

    A blue shirt to the backbone, he nearly choked on his Adams apple, when Gerry Adams put it to him that his uncle fought in the 1916 Rising, during an interview on the Late Late Show, I got the impression he was embarrassed and quickly moved away from the subject, sad very sad.

    Because he is one of RTEs ”stars”. RTE is a nepotistic institution that badly needs to be cut adrift, the fact that force the the public to pay for that mind numbing trash is absolutely sickening. A public service it most certainly is not. Not paying the RTE tax is a legitimate form of protest.

    Gay Byrne took sides with the pedo church against Annie Murphy

    Pat Kenny shook hands with Jake Goldenflame then sat there nodding while he boasted about being turned on by a child in a restaurant

    on the Late Late anniversary special Fr Brian D’Arcy got a round of applause for speaking out about the church.. minutes later Ryan Tubridy took the microphone away from Nell McCaffrey when she mentioned the pope

    @ Comexicity

    some “sexist” said a woman would never sit in the late late chair

    translation a woman would never host the late late show on RTE

    so pedo church enabler Gay Byrne brought out Marian Finucane and put her in the chair

    the audience clapped like trained seals

    about a minute later she fu-ked off and Gay went back to hosting

    the next host after Gay? Pat Kenny

    then after Pat? Ryan Tubridy

    They get paid what the watching figures allow the station to charge the advertisers.
    It’s a pure bean-counter operation.

    Like or loath these guys, they get viewers/listeners and so they get advertisers.

    Eddie Downey of the IFA received €445,000 last year which included a salary of €295,000 and a pension contribution of €150,000 and there’s uproar leading to resignation.
    Ryan Tubridy earns a whopping €495,000 a year under a three year contract with RTE which he signed in 2012.
    It beggars belief the manoeuvrings and brass neck of the untouchables.
