"After the host's tough year and ever-dwindling viewing figures, this may be his last year at the helm In a normal year, the return of The Late Late Show (RTÉ One, Friday) would be greeted with two reactions: excitement and indifference. For a large, if dwindling, number of viewers, the 63-year-old chat show remains the centrepiece of their evening. They will watch it come what may."
The Late Late Show returns amid concerns about its future following a difficult year for the presenter and steadily falling audience numbers. Viewership has diminished over time, yet a loyal segment still treats the chat show as the centrepiece of their evening. The host, aged 63, retains a committed following who will watch regardless of circumstances. Reactions to the show's return typically range from excitement to indifference. Ongoing ratings decline and recent challenges facing the presenter increase the likelihood that this could be his final year in the role. The programme continues to occupy a Friday-night slot on RTÉ One.
