Viewers of the RTE Late Late Show expressed frustration over guest choices during a live broadcast, including former President Mary McAleese and comedian Pat Shortt.
Dublin: Some viewers were not pleased with the Late Late Show on Friday night. It aired live on Patrick Kielty’s birthday, but that didn’t stop the criticism.
The show featured notable guests like former President Mary McAleese and comedian Pat Shortt. Despite the star-studded lineup, some viewers took to social media to voice their complaints.
Mary McAleese and Mary Kennedy, hosts of The Changing Times podcast, discussed their friendship and the upcoming Irish Presidential election. They aimed to share insights and opinions on current events.
However, one viewer questioned McAleese’s frequent appearances, asking what new insights she could offer. She had been on the show multiple times in recent years.
Pat Shortt celebrated his 30-year career on screen. He reminisced about his time with the late Jon Kenny and their comedy act, D’unbelievables. Pat and his daughter are set to perform in Dublin soon.
Another viewer expressed frustration with Pat’s repeated appearances, suggesting they might switch to Netflix instead. Patrick Kielty also shared a fun video about 90s nostalgia ahead of the show.
The Tumbling Paddies, a band from Fermanagh, performed their song Night on the Town. They engaged the audience in a musical game, adding excitement to the show.
Finally, Team Power of 1 celebrated their return after rowing across the Atlantic. They raised funds for children with congenital heart disease, honoring John O’Driscoll’s late daughter.
