Born in Dublin in 1934, Gay Byrne is without question, one of The greatest legends in Irish broadcasting. After successful stints in Radio Éireann and also in Britain, where he is credited as being the first person to interview The Beatles, Gay went on to create TV history in 1962 when he became the first host of The Late Late Show, a position he held until 1999. In 1973 he hosted his own morning radio show, The Gay Byrne Show, which he hosted until December 1998. He also hosted the Irish version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? He has been married to former RTÉ presenter Kathleen Watkins since 1964 and they have two grown-up daughters.
Sent Mr. Byrne 1 LOR, photo and SASE on 26/10/2012, but he received it on 12/11/12. I received it back signed on 13/11/12.
