Patrick Kielty Returns to Late Late Show | Dublin News

Patrick Kielty is officially back behind the mic for The Late Late Show, signing a three-year deal that could see him host up to 30 episodes a season. Returning for his second stint after stepping in for Ryan Tubridy in 2023, Kielty’s thrilled — calling it “one of the greatest gigs in the world” — and eager to reconnect with viewers, whom he says are the show’s soul. He’s stepping into legendary shoes, following in the footsteps of Gay Byrne and Pat Kenny. With last season averaging 385,000 viewers per episode, the show’s massive appeal is undeniable. Though an exact return date isn’t set, fans can expect him back sometime in September — a welcome return for a staple of Irish TV.
