RTÉ this morning has announced the news that Ryan Tubridy will step down as host of the long-running The Late Late Show at the end of the current season. Tubridy’s final appearance as host of the show will be Friday the 26th of May.

First broadcast in 1962, the show is the world's second longest-running late-night talk show having previously been hosted by Gay Byrne and Pat Kenny. Speaking about his decision to leave Ryan Tubridy said:

“It has been a privilege to host the national institution that is the Late Late Show for the last fourteen years. I want to thank the tremendous teams of producers, researchers, crew and executives who have done the hard work to keep the show on the road over the years. Many have become dear friends.

"Also, to the viewers, I am so grateful for the loyalty you have shown to the Late Late Show, week in, week out.

"Not only did you raise 30 million euros for Irish charities including over 15 million euros for children's charities all over the island that are particularly close to my heart, but you showed incredible generosity of spirit for which I am profoundly grateful.

"I was often touched by the kind comments of viewers stopping me on the street or at the supermarket on a Saturday to say 'thank you' or 'well done' for highlighting an issue that affected them or their families on the previous night's show. Go raibh maith agaibh.

"And finally, to my family who stood by me every day of every week, year in, year out. To my daughters especially, they put up with so much and I am as grateful to them as I am awestruck by them."

RTÉ Director-General, Dee Forbes said: "I would like to thank Ryan and acknowledge his enormous commitment to The Late Late Show during the seven years I have had the privilege to work with him.”

Tubridy will continue to present his radio show on weekday mornings from 9.00am - 10.00am on RTÉ Radio 1 following his departure from the show in May.
