Ryan Tubridy, host of the ultra-popular Irish chat show the “Late Late Show,” sure knows how to pull the guests. 

Last Friday night, in addition to Russell Brand, caustic chef Gordon Ramsay was on as a guest, and as usual, he let the insults fly.

After Tubridy asked Ramsay about his rumored injection of Botox and other surgical enhancements to smooth the lines on his face, the chef insulted the host by comparing his ears to Dumbo the elephant.

"Talking about plastic surgery, have you seen your ears lately?" Ramsay demanded. "Look at those things, you must take off coming down the stairs. I'm surprised you can get through the door."

But then he quickly added, “I’m joking.”

Yes, Tubridy’s ears are, well, rather prominent, but as he told Ramsay, it’s genetic. "I can't help it, I was born with it,” he said.

Then Ramsay invited Tubridy to his restaurant at the Ritz Carlton in County Wicklow because, the chef said, Tubridy is clearly in need of nourishment.

"I would like you to come out and eat a good meal. You look like you haven't eaten in years. You're too thin. You're like a little windy piece of asparagus," Ramsay said.

Man, with guests like these! But Tubridy took all the insults and shrugged them off. 

"Ryan took it all in jest, as I've no doubt it was intended," a spokesperson for the star said. "He was very happy with how the show went.”

Ramsay ain't no picture post card, in spite of the alleged botox injections. He's the most foul-mouthed, insensitive, politically incorrect, aggressive chef around |(worldwide, that is). He better not give up his day job for a career in modelling!

this will happen with increasing regularity. Tubridy is an idiot with no tact or common sense whatsoever. Of course Ramsey was going to find that insulting, a professional would have run sensitive questions by the interviewee. Tubridy is also incapable of any political discussion without imposing his own views on an issue, which he has proven consistently over the past few years.
