Late Late Show Cancelled Tonight; Controversial One-Night Replacement Announced
The Late Late Show will not air tonight due to a change in the festive schedule on RTE One. This popular chat show, which normally broadcasts at 9:35 PM every Friday, is taking a break this week for the Christmas period. During the previous live broadcast, presenter Patrick Kielty informed viewers of this change and confirmed the show’s return with a special New Year’s Eve episode.
Details of the New Year’s Eve Special
Kielty expressed excitement for the upcoming special, stating, “We will be back on New Year’s Eve with a very special countdown show.” He wished audiences a Merry Christmas and indicated that there would not be an episode next Friday either.
Controversial One-Night Replacement
To fill the gap left by The Late Late Show, RTE One will feature a repeat of the Mrs Brown’s Boys New Year’s Special. This particular episode sees the character Agnes transform her spare room into a bed and breakfast, unwittingly placing herself near an escaped criminal in Finglas.
Viewer Reception
- Mrs Brown’s Boys is a divisive choice among viewers.
- Some find its humor entertaining, while others deem it cringeworthy.
Alternative Viewing Options
For those seeking different programming, other channels will offer varied entertainment:
- RTE 2: Steven Spielberg’s thriller ‘Jaws’, featuring a police chief confronting a monstrous shark.
- Virgin Media One: The action film ‘White House Down’, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx.
- TG4: Live coverage of the United Rugby Championship match between Leinster and Ulster at RDS Arena.
- BBC One: The Graham Norton Show featuring Jessie Buckley, Jack Black, Paul Rudd, and Michelle de Swarte, starting at 10:40 PM.
While fans of The Late Late Show may feel disappointed tonight, they can look forward to the festive countdown on December 31 and other diverse viewing options available across various channels.
