‘Middle Child Syndrum’ – Boy Emails Tubs Asking To Co-Host Late Late Toy Show

The Late Late Show is an Irish institution. The Late Late Toy Show, now that is on another level of its own.  Growing up many of us dreamed of joining in on the Toy Show antics. Whether it was to read a book, sing a song (those Billy Barry kids), or drive a tractor over the studio (our favourite part), we just wanted in on the action. As it turns out one 11-year-old from Cavan wants a slightly bigger piece of the Toy Show pie. Fergal Smith sent an email into 2FM asking Ryan Tubridy if he could co-host the Toy Show, only for a couple of minutes. Smith explained his reasons for wanting to feature alongside Tubs onscreen and noted that he suffered from a disability called, "middle child syndrum." Tubridy was so blown away by this well-written email he spoke to Fergal's mother Mairead on his 2FM show this morning. Our favourite part of the email has to be the finishing sentence, "I heard there is a few bob in it too but I am not doing it for the money more for the crack." Letter reads: Hi Ryan My name is Fergal smith I am 11 years old I am from Co. Cavan. I would love if I could co host on the Late Late Toy show for like a couple of mins with you because I am a middle child and I have this disability called ' 'middle child syndrum' ' this is a common disability I will tell you what side affects are. OK lets say your oldest like my brother Ciaran, he gets all the credit because when anybody comes to the house there always are like ' 'you better look after your younger brothers' ' and now lets say your the youngest like my brother Pearse Og everybody is like ' 'ahh he is so cute' ' I hope you can see my point because what do I get oh yeah NOTHING! look it, if you could find a place in your heart to let me co host the Late Late toy show I would be over the moon and I heard there is a few bob in it too but I am not doing it for the money more for the crack and joy of getting to co host the Late Late toy show with you. please send a reply by Friday Thanks Fergal smith P.S. I was only joking about the whole money idea Have a listen here to Tub's interview with Fergal's Mum, Mairead, this morning. Amazing stuff. Pic via RTÉ 2FM.
