Patrick Kielty will host RTE’s The Late Late Show after Ryan Tubridy steps down from the role at the end of the current series, the broadcaster has announced.
Earlier this year, Tubridy said it was a “privilege to host the national institution” as it was confirmed he would be departing the show following 14 years at the helm.
Northern Ireland comedian and presenter Kielty, 52, will become the fourth host of the long-running show for its 61st season next September.
