The odds on Dara O’Briain taking the coveted role as the new host of the Late Late Show have been slashed after a number of bets were made for the Irish comedian.
While O’Briain isn’t a forerunner in the race to become the next presenter, with Claire Byrne currently taking the top spot, his odds were slashed significantly over the last 24 hours, dropping from 40/1 to 16/1.
O’Briain appeared on the Tommy Tiernan show earlier this month and both are in the running for the position of host. If he was successful it would be a return to hosting for O’Briain, who ended a 17-year stint on BBC’s Mock The Week last year.
