Mary McAleese, Mary Kennedy, Pat Shortt and Gladiator Cyclone' among guests on this Friday's Late Late Show
30/01/2025
With music from The Tumbling Paddies
Here is your host, Patrick Kielty!
This Friday night on The Late Late Show, former President Mary McAleese and former broadcaster Mary Kennedy, and now hosts of The Changing Times podcast, have a lot to say. From their thriving friendship and not retiring, to the state of the world and the upcoming Irish Presidential election, the two Marys will sit down with Patrick to set the world to rights.
Actor and comedian Pat Shortt marks his thirtieth year on our screens in 2025. He joins Patrick to talk about his career highs and to share his memories of the late, great Jon Kenny and their beloved comedy act, D'unbelievables.
Home from the world's toughest row, Team Power Of 1 s John O'Driscoll, Conor McCarthy, Daragh Kelly, Enda McNicholas and Roger McMorrow will all join Patrick tomorrow night for a Late Late Show homecoming celebration. In what was a heroic journey that had the country row in behind them, they rowed across the Atlantic Ocean from San Sebastian de La Gomera, Spain to Antigua. Team Power of 1 were raising funds for children born with congenital heart disease in Ireland in memory of John's 13-year-old daughter Saoirse, their honorary sixth crew member.
The first ever Irish Gladiator, Cyclone, will also be in studio. From Wexford, Cyclone will be chatting about how she went from being a powerlifting world champion to dominating the Gladiator arena and the reaction to her debut on the hit show.
Fermanagh's The Tumbling Paddies make their return to The Late Late Show tomorrow night. Bringing their unique Trad/Pop sound, the six-piece band will perform Night on the Town. They'll also be teaming up with some audience members as their musical knowledge is put to the test in an exciting game known as What the Folk?'
The Late Late Show is proudly sponsored by PTSB.
