The Late Late Show viewers have reacted en masse to the RTE broadcaster’s tribute episode to the late Brendan Grace.
The iconic Irish comedian and performer passed away this summer, mere weeks after telling his fans that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Last night’s Late Late Show was compiled of all of Brendan Grace’s appearances on the chat show before his death.
