Ryan Tubridy has suggested Dr Tony Holohan could take the COVID vaccine on the Late Late Show to assure people it is safe.
The RTE host was speaking on his radio show after the US public said in a poll that they would like to see Dr Anthony Fauci take the vaccine on TV to ease their worries.
And Late Late Show host Tubs said that he imagines a similar poll here would see Dr Holohan the public's choice.
Tubridy said: "A poll was done and they asked the American people who would you like to see receive the vaccine live on television before you decide to go for it yourself.
"And they came back with a resounding answer, Fauci, they said we want to see Fauci get the vaccine.
"So, in many ways, our equivalent would be to invite Dr Tony Holohan onto the Late Late Show and say you're our Fauci so we have to believe you if you believe it so take the vaccine on live TV.
"That's taking it that there's an equal poll, I'd say it would be along the same lines."
It comes a day after Tubridy himself said he would be happy to take the vaccine live on TV.
The host said: "In America, Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama have all offered to get the vaccine injected into them on live television.
"Just to take away the mystique, I've been doing the swabbing on the Late Late, and maybe that's what's going to happen when the vaccine comes in."
