George Hook has said Late Late Show job is a “poison chalice” – saying it should’ve been scrapped after Gay Byrne retired from it.
The controversial broadcaster suggested RTE should scrap its current format in favour of a chat show that is more “up to date” when Ryan Tubridy steps down on May 26.
The former rugby pundit said whoever is the next host of the Friday night show is being given a “poison chalice”, saying he has no preference for the gender of the next host.
