Miriam O’Callaghan rules herself out of running to be next ‘Late Late Show’ host

RTÉ presenter Miriam O’Callaghan has ruled herself out as the next potential host of the Late Late Show, saying she is “not throwing my hat into the ring to be considered”.

In a statement on Twitter, the Prime Time host said the speculation over her being “one of the favourites to take over the Late Late Show is very flattering” but that “won’t be happening” because she has not put herself forward for the job. It comes after RTÉ announced last week that Ryan Tubridy is to step down after 14 years. The broadcaster, who is only the third long-term host of RTÉ's flagship chat show, said he would leave the Friday night television programme at the end of the current season.

He will preside over his final edition on May 26th. He will continue to present his radio show on weekday mornings on RTÉ Radio 1.

Fianna Fáil will be disappointed.

They're taking about a presenter job like it's the next Head of State
