This Friday night, prepare for a spectacular return of Ireland’s beloved Late Late Show, hosted this season by none other than the witty and charming Patrick Kielty. As summer bids us farewell and the chill of autumn settles in, this iconic chat show is set to light up our Friday nights once again. The anticipation is palpable, with guests lined up including golfing superstar Rory McIlroy, who will join the show fresh from his exploits at the Royal County Down golf course, where the action has kicked off for the Irish Open. Imagine all the golf banter and banter banter!

But that's not all. The stage will also be electrified by the catchy beats of our very own internet sensations, Cork’s Kabin Krew and the Clare-based Lisdoonvarna Crew, both of whom have risen to fame with their viral rap hits. These fresh talents are ready to take the spotlight, bringing their vibrant energy and unique tunes into the homes of viewers. You can expect a blend of music and magic that is bound to have everyone buzzing long after the credits roll!

Speaking about the changes, Kielty expressed an emotional connection to the legacy of the Late Late Show, sharing his sentiments on transitioning from the iconic set that has seen legends like Gay Byrne and Ryan Tubridy host. As he gears up for this new chapter, he reassures fans that the heart of the show remains; it’s all about compelling stories and connecting with the audience. Moreover, he hinted at some ‘big news’ during the season, including the highly awaited Late Late Toy Show scheduled to air on December 6th, delivering joy for families across Ireland.

On a lighter note, will you be tuning in? Or are you more entranced by the spicy stories from the golf course? Either way, this week’s blend of golf insights and musical flair will surely have you flipping between your TV and social media, wondering, "Who will steal the spotlight tonight?" Don’t forget to grab your popcorn!

And for the curious minds out there, did you know that the Late Late Show is the longest-running chat show in the world? This year not only marks Patrick Kielty's second season but also a celebration of the show's rich history and evolution, showcasing both marquee stars and the next generation of talent. With the unforgettable Toy Show just around the corner, we can’t help but wonder what incredible surprises and heartwarming moments await us!
