Ray is looking forward to the challenge.

Although they stated there wouldn’t be a war of the chatshows, Tubridy admitted: “I want to be the best and I’m going to try to be the best.”

Meanwhile, 50-year-old D’Arcy who will kick off a new show on Saturday nights stated: “In [the media] world, I suppose Ryan and I will be competing, but for now, I don’t feel we are – although I am competitive.”

The new schedule was launched this week. 

“I think my competitive edge will come out sometime in February, it will be all nice up until then and then it will get competitive,” he added.

Hmm… We’ve a feeling things are about to get pretty interesting!
