Late Late Show Digs into RTÉ Canteen for Weekly Line-Up
A New Line-Up for the Late Late Show
The latest episode of the Late Late Show has once again brought in a lineup that seems to lack the usual star power. It appears that the producers may have taken a more casual approach, selecting guests from the RTÉ canteen without much thought.
One standout moment was Patrick Kielty's interview with Jon Bon Jovi, which was filmed last Thursday. This came after it was announced that Bon Jovi would be performing at Croke Park in the summer of 2026. The Rockstar singer shared stories from his four decades in the music scene, his deep admiration for Thin Lizzy, and the special connection he feels with his Irish fans.

Bon Jovi also opened up about his life off stage, including his new role as Grandad to his son and daughter-in-law, Jake Bongiovi and Millie Bobby Brown's, daughter. His insights into family life and career have been a highlight of the show.
Miriam O'Callaghan Shares Her Story
Miriam O'Callaghan kicked off the roster of RTÉ guests. She joined Patrick in studio to chat about navigating life in the public eye, and the loss of her beloved sister, Anne, as her memoir has just been released.

Miriam also discussed trying to balance her high-profile career while raising her eight children. Her candid reflections have resonated with many viewers, offering a glimpse into the challenges of public life.
Coaches of Ireland's Fittest Family
The coaches of Ireland's Fittest Family, Davy Fitzgerald and Donncha O'Callaghan, will be joined by new coaches, Ellen Keane and Michael Darragh MacAuley. They will chat with Patrick about the show's longevity, the fierce family rivalries, and what fans can expect from the new season, hosted by Laura Fox.

Their insights into the show's evolution and the dynamics of family competition have been a valuable addition to the program.
Young Hot Guys Bring Chaos and Charm
The Young Hot Guys, Shane Daniel Byrne, Tony Cantwell, and Killian Sundermann, will bring their signature chaos and charm to the Late Late Show. Their energetic presence is always a hit with the audience.

Lynne McGranger Shares Her Journey
Lynne McGranger, who has been a beloved figure on Summer Bay, will drop in to chat about her 33 years playing her loveable Home and Away character, Irene. Her journey through the series has been a favorite among fans.
Honestly, we're not going to hold our breath that the Late Late Show's next line-up will be any more star-studded than this one...
