If you are Irish, you'll know all about this. If you are not Irish you may not be aware of this show. RTE's Late Late Show is the longest running TV show in Irish TV history (and it is also the longsest running show in the World!!). It has been presented by 4 presenters Gay Byrne, Pat Kenny, Gerry Ryan (presented 1 show when Pat Kenny's mother died) and is now presented by Ryan Tubridy. It is broadcast every Friday night and includes interviews with celebrities and light discussions about current affairs along with performances by musicians.....you get the idea!
Every year on the last Friday in November, the Toy Show version of the Late Late Show is broadcast. Have a look at the RTE website for the type of thing that will be on the toy show. The other thing about the toy show is the Christmas Jumper that is worn by the host who normally wears a suit - there is always big speculation as to how hideous the jumper will be this year!
It is a tradition for Irish people to stay in and watch the show. Children are allowed to stay up late for it and adults devise drinking games to make it a bit more watchable!! My twin sister and I intend to get in to our PJ's, mix up some nice wintery cocktails and enjoy some nibblies while watching the show. Can't wait!!
The show can be enjoyed Internationally for the Irish Abroad, RTE will be streaming it live here on the RTE Player 9.35pm, Irish time.
You know the Christmas Season has arrived once you've watched the Toy Show!
Will you be watching?!!
Will you be watching?!!
