Who is the veteran Male Irish TV broadcaster with girls names, 2nd name is Mary!! who holds a world record for hosting a TV show? From the 60's to the turn of the century

PS Show was taken over by a different presenter Though I wonder if its been dropped?
Any Irish AP members know what's happening Current RTE TV listings are not showing it (is it on a break?)

Gay Byrne. (Is he really called Mary or is that a mischievous joke by some other Irishman? )He retired from 'The Late Late Show' in 1999. The show continues under Pat Kenny, apparently. If you can hold on until the Galway Races I'll look and tell you for sure .
