Ryan Tubridy has joked how Jamie Lee Curtis "killed me by accident" after the Hollywood star's tribute post sparked accidental concern for the RTE host.
The Oscar-winning actress, who had appeared on the Late Late Show in October, shared a photo of herself and Ryan on Instagram on Sunday with a lovely tribute following the news of his departure from the popular talk show. Jamie, 64, wrote: "You will be missed! Thank you for the light you brought so many."
The well-meaning post resulted in several of her five million followers thinking Ryan had died. He joked: "Jamie Lee Curtis kind of killed me by accident. It was death by kind adventure."
