He hosted several series of television shows, including Secrets, Gerry Ryan Tonight, Ryantown, Gerry Ryan's Hitlist, Operation Transformation and Ryan Confidential [5] Ryan was also noted for co-presenting the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest and presenting an edition of the long-running chat show The Late Late Show in 2008.
Ryan's style was considered by some to be that of a motor-mouth shock jock.[6] The Gerry Ryan Show was subject to several upheld complaints to the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI),[7][8][9] although once escaped punishment when he said "Would it be considered blasphemous if someone said on air that 'God is a bollocks?'".[10] Ryan was noted for the enjoyment he took in discussing topics such as sex, bodily functions, and food - as well as current social and political issues.[11] PR guru Max Clifford observed he could have, like Graham Norton and Terry Wogan, had a successful broadcasting career in the UK and said he was similar to "Michael Parkinson at his best".[12]
Ryan was found dead in his Dublin apartment on 30 April 2010.[13][14] His death was later adjudged to have been caused by cocaine and alcohol consumption.
