Mr Cuddihy, 47, will begin as the weekday lunchtime host on RTÉ's The Late Late Show on Monday, taking over after Joe Duffy's June retirement following a 27-year run. He previously presented the Hard Shoulder on Newstalk and the Tonight Show on Virgin Media. A planned earlier appearance was pulled last month because of contractual issues involving Newstalk. Public reaction to the new role has been described as life-affirming. Programming will include contentious debates, personal stories, and a focus on Kilkenny hurling, local coaching and commuting. He recounted being fired from a Canadian construction job during the 2009 financial crash.
