RTE Late Late Show viewers all say the same thing about 'hilarious' Miriam Margolyes

RTE Late Late show viewers are all saying the same thing after a "hilarious" interview with actress Miriam Margolyes, with even Ryan Tubridy thinking it too.

Friday night viewers were treated to a hysterical back and forth between the 81-year-old English-Australian actress, her new co-star Senator Lynn Ruane and host Ryan Tubrdy.

Miriam and Lynn sat down to discuss their upcoming documentary about a shared love for the Aran Islands, with the unlikely two meeting over their deep interest in Lady Gregory.

They offered a glimpse into the soon to be released piece. It didn't take long before Miriam had everyone in stitches, as she put on her best impression of speaking like an Irish person.

"Miriam Margolyes is the definition of a loose cannon. You just have no idea what’s coming next," one watcher took to Twitter to say.

"Tubs praying he can get through the rest of this interview without Miriam Margolyes causing an international incident," another quipped online.

Miriam had the audience in stitches again as Ryan taught her the well known Dublin colloquialism "I will in me hoop." It didn't take long for Miriam to take it in her stride.

Lynn and Miriam gave their views on esteemed writer W.B Yeats, labelling him a "creep" and saying that he was guilty of stealing Lady Gregory's work, someone who they both hold a deep admiration for.

One Twitter user said they got "absolute belly laughs" when Miriam told Ryan “If I have to go down on someone to become Irish I will."

Another said: "If anyone wants a good laugh just watch back Miriam Margolyes' interview on the #LateLateShow - there's 'having no filter' and then there's Miriam - she's a gas woman!!"

Ryan thanked the 81-year-old and asked her to make sure she comes back to the show sometime soon. He said he thinks of her as "remarkable" but: "I never know what's going to come out of your mouth next."

"Someone wrap Miriam Margolyes in bubble wrap, please; what a treasure and genuinely funny person. So authentic," one viewer, who really enjoyed the interview added.
