Sarah McInerney has become the latest broadcaster to announce that she won't be seeking the host role on The Late Late Show.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of Thursday's statement by Claire Byrne that she wasn't putting herself forward as a potential replacement for current host Ryan Tubridy, who steps down at the end of the month.
In a tweet, Sarah stated: "I'd like to confirm that I'm not taking over The Late Late Show from either Ryan Tubridy or James Corden. Nor have I sought Waystar from Logan Roy.

"Though the prospect of grilling young children over their toy choices every December would be enticing, I let RTE know a couple of weeks ago that I wouldn't be throwing my hat into the ring.
"There's an election coming, maybe next year," she added. "Prime Time and Drivetime will be at the centre of RTE's coverage. Like all political nerds I can't wait.
"Ryan Tubridy has done an exceptional job at the helm of The Late Late Show. I'll really miss him on Friday nights, and I wish his successor the very best of luck."
