Patrick Kielty is set to host the Late Late Show following Ryan Tubridy's exit from the second longest-running chat show in the world.
The Co Down comedian will be the fourth presenter of the iconic show for its 61st season next September. A delighted Patrick said: "I’m absolutely thrilled to be the next host of The Late Late Show. To follow in the footsteps of Gay, Pat and Ryan as the next custodian is a real honour and I can’t thank RTE enough for giving me the chance to be a part of the next chapter of such an iconic show.
"I’m also genuinely humbled to become part of Friday nights for so many Irish people, at home and around the world. I can’t wait to get started on one of the greatest jobs in television."
