RTÉ confirms it has extended Patrick Kielty’s contract as host of The Late Late Show, keeping him in the role until 2028. The announcement ends recent speculation about his future following the expiry of his current deal, which was due to run out in May. Kielty joined the programme as host in September 2023 and has presented the talk show since then. RTÉ says the new agreement is structured as a three-year deal and includes provision for up to 30 episodes per season. The outlets reporting on the announcement also note that Kielty is a comedian from Dundrum in County Down. Separate coverage highlights remarks attributed to Kielty describing his time on the show so far as a “joy and a privilege.” Overall, the reports agree on the core points: RTÉ extends Kielty’s hosting tenure, the deal runs to 2028, and it maintains the show’s ongoing schedule for the forthcoming seasons.
