Hello, Elle,
The Late, Late Show is on RTE, one of the Irish channels.
That will be how you've not heard of it.
Host is Ryan Tubridy.
Yes, young Ted is married to Nina.
I liked that Ruby is Ted's fourth favourite child!
Ted was almost speechless!
And talking of "speechless", on a more serious note, on the same show, Katie spoke of the terrible stammer she had when she was young and how she struggled with it, and eventually conquered it.
Have a look?

Hi, Rusty!
Ah, yes, I hadn't noticed that it said "RTE" under the video clip.
That was very courageous of Katie to admit to having had a stammer, and talk about it on the show.
Hopefully, too, hearing about that, and how she conquered it , might help some one else?
I am going to see my friend again tomorrow.....so far as I know, there is still not a date set for her daughter's funeral.
This is a very hard time for her.

Hello, Elle!
It is a popular show, and Ryan Tubridy is a very popular host on TV and radio.
Katie did very well speaking about her affliction.
I liked Ruby's remark at the very end, "And she's never stopped talking since!"
Yes, I am sure others with that affliction could perhaps learn a bit from Katie and her story of her struggle.
Your poor friend.
It's good you are putting time aside to be with her, in her time of need.

A Very Good morning to you, Rusty!
It is a lovely morning here.....blue sky, sunshine....with the temperature even reaching double figures.

Hello, Elle!

I may think of other things, yet.
