For five seasons from 2004 until 2009, he presented the Saturday night TV chat show Tubridy Tonight on RTÉ One.
He later left RTÉ 2fm for a number of years to present The Tubridy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 but returned to RTÉ 2fm in 2010 to present a weekday morning radio show from 09:00 to 11:00, following the termination of The Gerry Ryan Show with the presenter’s sudden death.
