Veteran broadcaster Vincent Browne is to finish up his role in TV3 at the end of this month.
It was reported last weekend and yesterday TV3 confirmed the news in a statement commending his contribution to journalism.
Naturally, many are asking the question of who will replace Vincent on the Tonight Show.
At the moment, Mick Clifford is the favourite to replace 72-year-old Browne. Mick has filled in for Vincent numerous times.
Bookmakers Ladbrokes have ranked Clifford at the front-runner with odds of 11/10.
Ivan Yates is second favourite with odds of 2/1.
Another likely replacement is Pat Kenny who is at 7/1 odds of taking his place.
TV3 have not commented on who will take over from Vincent Brown next month.
A statement was issued by TV3’s Director of Programming Bill Malone, who praised the host for his hard work.
“Vincent has made an extraordinary contribution to Irish journalism and to Irish broadcasting,” he said.
“As the presenter of the Tonight Show, Vincent encapsulated the mood of the nation during unprecedented economic and political turmoil. His commitment to highlighting inequality and injustices in Irish life has been unwavering over his journalistic career.
“TV3 would like to take this opportunity to thank Vincent for his contribution to the station and to wish him the very best.”
