Pat Kenny admits he never thought Ryan Tubridy would last so long - and next Late Late Show host 'likely to be a woman'

Pat Kenny has admitted he was surprised Ryan Tubridy lasted 14 years hosting the Late Late Show – as he predicts a woman will be the next presenter of the Friday night chat show.

The Newstalk host reacted to fellow pal and former colleague Ryan Tubridy announcing his departure from the coveted show.

Pat said he believes Ryan might have gone sooner if it hadn’t been the Covid-19 pandemic.
