Who could it be?

This week it was announced by RTÉ that Ryan Tubridy would be leaving The Late Late Show by the end of the season.

Ryan first started hosting the show in December 2009, with his first guest  The Late Late Show being then Taoiseach Brian Cowen.

Commenting on the news, 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.”

Following his announcement, everyone has been wondering who will take over.

As of now, Miriam O’Callaghan is who most people are putting their money on.
