Ireland’sThe Late Late Show Returns with a Blockbuster Season Opener
Ireland’s most iconic talk show returns to screens tonight as The Late Late Show kicks off its brand-new season on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player. Patrick Kielty returns to the hot seat, welcoming a star-studded lineup that spans television royalty, Hollywood heavyweights, national sports heroes, and chart-topping musicians.
Opening the new season, Siobhán McSweeney will step into the studio to break down the massive success of The Traitors Ireland. The BAFTA winner will share what it’s like ruling the castle as “Lady Muck” and will be joined by a selection of banished and murdered contestants to tease next week’s highly anticipated series finale.
Sports fans are in for a treat as members of the All-Ireland winning Mayo senior football team take the stage alongside manager Andy Moran to reflect on their historic summer victory. GAA phenom Kobe McDonald will talk about his whirlwind journey and the growing buzz around his move to Aussie Rules, while Mayo veteran Aidan O’Shea will share what lifting Sam Maguire finally meant after fifteen years of ferocious battles.
From the silver screen, Outlander star Caitríona Balfe drops in to discuss her new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, bonding with co-stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles, saying goodbye to Claire Fraser after eight seasons, and reflecting on her time filming Belfast.
In a poignant segment, Hollywood actor Liam Neeson and historian Catherine Corless will discuss their new film, The Lost Children of Tuam. Neeson, who serves as a producer on the project, will talk alongside Corless about why the relentless fight for the truth surrounding the Galway mother and baby home had to be brought to the big screen.
Rounding out the night, chart-toppers The Script will perform live in the studio. Frontman Danny O’Donoghue will chat about married life, honoring late bandmate Mark Sheehan through their latest album, The User’s Guide to Being Human, and their upcoming world tour.
Why Patrick Kielty’s Late Late Show Remains Essential Viewing
When Patrick Kielty took over the hosting duties, he inherited one of the longest-running chat shows in world broadcasting history—a gig with a massive legacy and an notoriously tough home audience. Yet, Kielty has proven to be a absolute triumph in the hot seat.
He brings a fast-witted, natural charm and warmth to the studio that makes the show feel genuinely fresh again. Whether he is bantering with global celebrities, handling high-stakes political debate, or leaning into the irreverent local humor that makes Irish television unique, his easy-going delivery and keen listening skills make for a fantastic watch. If tonight’s stacked premiere is anything to go by, season two under Kielty is set to keep The Late Late Show firmly cemented as Friday night’s best comfort television.
