''The Gay Byrne Show'' (previously ''The Gay Byrne Hour''〔 and also known as ''The GB Show''〔) 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. Before Byrne's retirement in 1998, he was helped by Gareth O'Callaghan (who left for RTÉ 2fm) and then Des Cahill. Future Labour Party face Alex White edited the show for four years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alex White: Biography )〕 ==History== ''The Gay Byrne Hour'' began broadcasting on 2 February 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish Public Service Broadcasting – 1970s )〕 It featured many Irish taboo subjects, with forums and discussions.
