Breaking News: The Late Late Show is off the air this Friday, leaving fans in a state of surprise!
This week, RTE has decided to shake things up, leaving many viewers wondering what's in store for their Friday night entertainment. The beloved Late Late Show, usually gracing our screens at 9:35 PM, will be taking a break. But why?
The reason? It's all part of the Christmas schedule! Host Patrick Kielty himself reassured viewers during last week's show, promising a special New Year's Eve edition to make up for it. He signed off with a warm message: "We will be back on New Year's Eve with a very special countdown show. From me and from all of us here, have a great one. This has been The Late Late Show, I have been Patrick Kielty, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night."
So, mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 31st, for the festive countdown. But what about this Friday? And this is where things get interesting...
RTE has announced a controversial replacement for the Late Late Show: a repeat of the Mrs. Brown's Boys New Year's Special. The episode features Agnes turning her spare room into a bed and breakfast, with a dangerous criminal on the loose in Finglas.
But here's where it gets controversial... Mrs. Brown's Boys is a comedy that often divides opinions. Some adore its slapstick humor, while others find it a bit cringe-worthy. What do you think?
For those seeking alternative viewing options, RTE 2 will be showing Steven Spielberg's thriller Jaws, offering a dose of suspense as a seaside town deals with a killer shark. Meanwhile, Virgin Media One presents White House Down, a 2013 film starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, where a policeman must save the president from terrorists. And for sports fans, TG4 will broadcast live coverage of the United Rugby Championship clash between Leinster and Ulster at RDS Arena.
If you're still craving a chat show, BBC One has the Graham Norton Show, featuring Irish actor and singer Jessie Buckley, Hollywood comedy greats Jack Black and Paul Rudd, and comedian Michelle de Swarte, airing at 10:40 PM.
