Nothing and I mean NOTHING is better than Cork humour , the best people on this earth

This reminds me of my Irish parents and friends they just adored the craic and a singsong I’m in the UK born but Irish bred. This is so healthy for mental health I miss those days God bless them.

GOLD!God Bless Ireland. I wish I could have lived there during this time. Still love to visit nevertheless, the craic is GOLD.

Those cork people were great ,,I miss them all a lot ,they were talented and wonderful.

I watched this program as a child. People full of joy and love ❤️

love this.. Ireland will never be the same.. im sixty and they for me were the good old days... not perfect by any means... but great memories.. god bless.. great video..

What a brilliant show, amazing talent of humor and song.

What great talent in cork ,,I miss all those people,, a lot have passed on ,,I do miss them ,,loads ,,they were so talented.

What a marvelous show!!!!

I thought it was a great show when I saw it in 1982 and I was right. Thanks for the memory.

This was so nice to find. I have been living out of Ireland for over 10 years and the thing I miss most is the Craic. I miss the singing and joking and entertaining stories, the Irish sense of humour in general. No other nation has such a great sense of fun as us Irish. It breaks my heart now when I look at the news about Ireland and what has happened to my beautiful country.

The LateLate show needs this kind of stuff again this was amazing to watch

Just stumbled upon this. Wonderful talent from the past. Different humour then, developed for variety shows of the time. All at the top of their game including Gaybo. All sadly gone from us. This was when Saturday night viewing was at its peak. Parkinson on BBC at this time was outstanding.

God it makes me sad watching all the old Late Late shows. All those lovely people and many of them now dead. Especially my parents who wound have loved that show and I am sure they were watching.

Liveing in Amsterdam for the last 43 yers still have my Cork accent love listing to it Margo

This could be shown on RTE some night during these long winter evenings. It would be much more entertaining than all the" Re[eat " Programmes we have to watch e.g. Mrs Brown's Boys, etc. Good entertaining without the use of foul language and violence that is on our screens on a regular basis.

It became very easy/fashionable to dismiss Gay Byrne as an anachronism/fuddy duddy later in his career but he was a hell of a broadcaster, very nuanced, and well ahead of his time.

This was true entertainment which is hard to get nowadays. Reminds me of my childhood when the late late was on Saturday nights.

great memories...what an array of characters.....a unique show....just a piano..memorable singing, dancing, storytelling, laughter....that lot could have produced many shows....no doubt a few bevvies helped.

Really super entertainment, Gay can never be replaced he is the best........and I remember the Summer Revels....what a show Billa, Paddy and all the gang in the Cork opera House.....

Rip Billa, the best.

Remember the hype about this before it was broadcast on a Saturday night, I was 16 and all my family watched it with a livelink to cha and miah in broad daylight lol

We will never see so much talent again in one show,,,, what has happened to it now

Inishowen, Donegal here. Daddy's best friend in his last years was a real Corkonian. God rest them both, they made each other laugh. They made me laugh. Madmen.

Although this was not shown here in Britain as far as I know, I do remember Niall Tobin the actor, being in the series Ballykissangel, which was shown on a Sunday night here on BBC1 between 1996 and 2001 and in Ireland too on RTE at the time. He played one of the priests. That was a great series of course, we liked it here a lot. Filmed in Avoca in County Wicklow, had some great episodes too. Thank you and well done too!!

God it's amazing the change in Irish society in just a few years... You would hardly see one person over 50 on any of Irish talk shows nowadays, never mind the full panel.. Instead of being personality driven, it's all about some 19 year old reality star trying to flog their book. Kind of sad really.

Loved every second of it thank you

That was some show..... Paddy and the pigeons joke is priceless......not a F..... word in the whole show.....

Love it from cork myself

The best late late of all time. Up the rebels!!!

Old shows were the best

I lived in Cork for 7 years and they were wonderful times!

Billa gone today, R.I.P you legend

I met Jo Mc & the band when i was 7. Back in Dan Kiley's dance hall in Ballybunion. And every one of the big show bands of the day. My mother & my second cousin's ( Johnny Barrett the one h only rip) his wife Ann, ran the kitchen doing the chicken supper. I had to bring up the drinks too the bands. And before packing up his drums, Jo Mc sat me down & showed me a bite of drumming, something to this day I've never forgotten. Sat around with the] The wolfe tones, Chieftains,Dunliners, Big Tom, Ian Dury & the Blockheads ( Hit me with your rhythm stick juila) hit song]. Sat across the table in the kitchen eating burgers & chips at 2am with Brendan Grace, still telling jokes. Too many to remember now. But if think of all the grates of the 60s 70s and 80s. That filled dance halls up & down the length of Ireland. That was my childhood summers. Now when i think about it, it was a fantastic childhood Hanging around with I suppose you can say " Supper starts " of the that time. ❤️🇮🇪

Would have loved to have been around then and done plays with these guys going to school doing Shakespeare plays nothing compared to the enthusiasm and great stories these guys had to tell marvellous watch.

David McInerney RIP another one gone from this show passed away this week.

Best of irish right there, good stuff.

the good old days

Excellent entertainment!!!

Good old times...

Mary Heggers was a gem

4:16 I had no idea Johan Cruyff was from County Cork.

The good old days, No virus 🤧😷

Amazing now that all these legends are dead now, except billa, gay gone this week, RIP all, there aren't men like this around anymore.

Cork and Corkonians are a breed on themselves… if a Martian landed on earth and ended up in Patrick’s street she or he would say to themselves “This reminds me of home” !!!!!!!!

The year was 1982 of the broadcast.

♥️♥️♥️♥️

RIP gay. That video is great

Wouldnt be a bad idea for the late late to get out of Dublin n do a few shows a year from Limerick, Galway, Belfast, etc.

where can I get dvd of this?

Great show!! Where in Cork was this broadcast from? RTE studios on Father Mathew Quay, or the Cork Opera House maybe? Thanks again!!!

my mum and dad and aunt and uncle in the audience

After 40 years I made this video about one of the countries that I Love the Most… Ireland. My daughter just visited the Green Emerald last week and that was my driver to make this video!!! If I have to mention two events that marked my life while in Ireland … Taking part in Saint Patrick’s Parade was one of them and secondly to be invited to the Late Late Show magically conducted by the best TV presenter I ever met! Gay Byrne!!! With my most sincere and warm feelings for my friends in Ireland! May this New Year bring Health and Happiness to All Irish people!!

Cork cork all about cork

Great to see Billah again.

Happy memories A time when The Late Late was really worth watching , sadly what goes for entertainment today is a pale shadow by comparison, tubredy a complete turn off

This can't be from 1982, because Alan Browning died in 1979.

Who's the guy to the left of Billa at about 51:45?

When ireland was irish

Ah yes I remember Cork now. Long since disappeared. People replaced and the buildings bought by Chinese investors.

Cha and Myah. Both very well paid lawyers taking the piss out of the Cork working class. And all the Dublin D4 set all laughed at it and wished we were part of the UK

Imagine the rest of the country being subjected to this on a Friday night. Cork this, Cork that, load of shite.

How many of these fella's besides billa and gay are still alive I wonder?

I think , Gay , knew at this point , he had a gem of a show , and like the consummate professional he was . let the panel off the leash. Absolute gold!

A bunch of Langers 😂

Was there a ban talking to women in 1982 🤣🤣🤣

Renamed....Joe lynch live from cork!!!lol

why all men? Cork women must be shy crew

There probably all dead now

Pure shite was that, not a true reflection of Cork at all.
