THE LATE LATE Show returns to our screens tomorrow night, with host Patrick Kielty starting his second season at the helm.
Golfer Rory McIlroy will feature with a segment from the Royal County Down golf course, where the action in the Irish Open got underway today and will continue until Sunday.
As well as talking “all things golf”, McIlory will also talk about a project he is supporting across Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
We’re talking summer highlights with @patrickielty

Stick around till the end and find out just some of the guests joining us in studio tomorrow 🤫😉#latelate pic.twitter.com/1EUSmsaMra
Viral sensations Kabin Crew and the Lisdoonvarna Crew will also feature to chat about and perform their hit single The Spark, which has gained around a billion views online.
The song was recorded by children from the Kabin Studio, a not-for-profit music and creative hub in Knocknaheeny, Cork, and featured rappers from the Lisdoonvarna Crew in Co Clare and was recently released as a single.
Liverpudlian comedian John Bishop meanwhile will recount his eventful summer, which included touring Ireland on a motorbike.
There will be further musical performances by John Sheahan and Phil Coulter, who will unveil Sheahan’s new stage show The Dubliners Encore, and the group will also perform some of The Dubliners’ hits.
Kielty will also welcome some Olympians and Paralympians who medalled at the Summer Games.
Meanwhile, RTÉ has said Kielty “has something he is really looking forward to telling you about” and added that viewers won’t want to miss it.
The Late Late Show will air tomorrow night on RTÉ One at 9.35pm.

An off topic comment. Was there an article in the Journal on Germanys move on immigration? I cannot find it?
@Oh Mammy: there was. I can’t believe you didn’t see it. Correct me if I’m wrong, I think you commented on it.
Can’t be bothered to verify. If not you ‘oh mammy’, then one of your other accounts.
@Oh Mammy: Search harder.
@offside again: Get the ledger out Brendan
@offside again: @offside again: I apologise. I assure you I only have one account. I do not recall commenting. It was an honest question and I will indeed look harder. I am sorry to those I triggered. Journal, please feel free to remove my comment
@offside again: I just found it. Two days ago. I did make a comment too, a relatively innocuous one at that. That you remembered makes me think its you that has more than one account.
@Oh Mammy: that IS a bit stalkerish in fairness, v v weird & unsettling
@Oh Mammy: no, i have a good memory that’s all. I have only one account. It’s the likes of Buster who have numerous accounts. Have a good day.
@offside again: sure kevvy, Brendan….. We believe you… seriously, lol
@Oh Mammy: here you are: Germany insists move to launch border controls with neighbour countries in line with EU rules https://jrnl.ie/6484483
@Luke Vic101: thank you. I only saw the news today. Not sure how I missed it but I did. I looked back a day here and didn’t see it so I asked the question. Happens it was two days back. I guess that is consistent we me rarely getting over 80% in the newshound quiz
Genuinely amazed that they don’t have Sharon Shannon or Imelda May on.
@Don Johnson: give it time…
@Don Johnson: they dont want the usual suspects all on the one night..just wait,they will make an appearance this season.
@Don Johnson: it’s only week 1 loads of time for the usual suspects.
@Don Johnson:
Preferable to Rory Mc Elroy.
Will give it a miss.
@Don Johnson: Ryan fancied Imelda, that’s why she was on so much.
I’d rather drink battery acid
@John Meade: I’d rather drink a few cans and watch the western on TG4!
@Alan Kennedy: the westerns are actually brilliant
@morgan crowe: The docu-series on the gunfight at the ok corral is decent.
When will dee forbes be on ?
@Tony McGrath: I heard she still has an awful dose , or maybe it was… ‘is an awful…’
Tried to turn into a comedy show last season and failed, needs to get serious with quality live music (not country)
@RIP: good honest and simple Irish TV.
It’s on its last legs at this stage, surely. Ireland doesn’t have enough interesting people to bring out. The old reliables are just so boring at this stage, especially as they’re on every season. And Rte are unwilling, probably correctly, not to pay for proper A-listers. I don’t see what it offers anymore outside of the toy show.
When Gay Byrne retired the show should have been scrapped,simples!
@Thomas Devlin: when Pat retired it should have ended. Tuburty I’d not a good interviewer.
Their should be a mental health warning for anyone watching the Late Late
The idea of light entertainment according to RTÉ is to bring the viewer weekly interviews of people who have lost loved ones in tragic circumstances or people who are terminally ill or those who have been abused, that’s when they are not interviewing people who were previously employed by RTE and have a new book coming out. No thank you, it’s too hard on viewer’s mental health.
@Chaotic State: yeah, could never get my head around that, it’s the end of the week, the start of the weekend, it’s supposed to be a fun time and they throw in some awfully depressing tragedy to burst your bubble. It’s just strange.
“John Bishop will recount his ‘eventual’ summer”. Did he wait until it stopped raining before heading over?
Long gone beyond it’s sell by date
No non celebrity folks on. When the LLS was good , it had real folks on it. Now, just the same as Norton and all the US shows.
Which one is Plugging a Book ?
God be good with the days, of Dermot Bannon, the pair of bucks that owns a hotel, and pat short.. they must holding them as an ace in the arse pocket.
@Ray Reilly: where oh where are the 2 Mary’s ( mc alesse + Robinson)…… I’ll give 2/1 at least 1 of em’ before year end
Obviously rte don’t think they’re getting value 4 money off Irish printers when they have to run to UK to get the yoke printed and expect Irish people to buy it says so in the tiny small print one can easily miss on the rte guide
The Late Late should never have come back! Always a rehash of what’s gone before! They can’t get good guests for some reason, I could have nearly guessed who they will have on & on & on again & again!!BORING!!
Can’t bloody wait. Well I can.
Only one I watch is John Sheehan. You can keep the rest.
IS IT BACK CAN’T WAIT I’m off to pay my tv license so
Ah sure why not
So some Olypians whe medalled stbthe games!
How I long for the good old days when we’d be treated to some clerics who meddeled with children!
Let it go……
Why are RTE targetting a young audience on a Friday night when that generation are all out enjoying themselves? Kiety is quickly becoming a ‘Hearse driver’, driving the LLS to its final resting place.
Once RTE cop on that you need to engage people and allow people to voice their opinions, then you might be on the road to some kind of success!
I had Dermot Bannon at 5 to 1 to be on. Disappointing
And it’s a NO from me
That show never got over the loss of Ulick O’Connor
@Gerry Ryan:
And Dennis Frank’s, those were the Days.
Ah the northern cronies there everywhere in rte don’t see any of our commentors on northern TV
790 MILLION BAILOUT, let’s see the SHEAR QUALITY OF THE GUESTS. Mickey Joe who wrote a book in 1987 disappeared from the limelight,next a washed up tin whistle player,then a failed actor and someone you’ve heard of a bit at the end,can’t wait.
Down with this sort of thing
Hopefully he doesn’t end up having to interview the same old rotating RTE faces every week.
Bring back Tubridy, said nobody ever.
Why ?
Would it be asking too much of The Journal to write “here are the guests”?
have your say
