The Gay Byrne Show (previously The Gay Byrne Hour[1] and also known as The GB Show[2]) was an Irish radio programme, which ran from 1973 until 1998. The programme was presented by Gay Byrne, and aired Monday to Friday for two hours each day. It was a favourite of Irish housewives.[1] Before Byrne's retirement in 1998, he was helped by Gareth O'Callaghan (who left for RTÉ 2fm) and then Des Cahill.[3] Future Labour Party face Alex White edited the show for four years.[4]
