YESTERDAY, POPULAR BROADCASTER Miriam O’Callaghan told the Anton Savage Show on Today FM that she felt she had come close to landing the Late Late Show presenter’s job when Pat Kenny relinquished the reins in 2009.

Ryan Tubridy took over then, and is still firmly ensconced in the presenter’s chair now.
