Ryan Tubridy has wished his successor of the Late Late Show well, "whoever she may be".
The 49-year-old announced his departure from the show on Thursday, marking the end of a 14 year stint as presenter. Fellow RTE stars Claire Byrne and Miriam O'Callaghan have emerged as early favourites to take over the gig in the autumn.
Opening tonight's Late Late Show, Tubs made a reference to the high odds of a female presenter taking over from him, joking: "I want to wish my successor, whoever she may be, the very best of luck. Honestly, I jest, but good luck to whoever is next, I'll be supporting them."
