The Grinch Is Set to Crash the Late Late Toy Show

The 50th Late Late Toy Show features 300+ children, a Liam Neeson narration, and new live Audio Description on RTÉ One to enhance accessibility, broadcaster said.

  • On Friday, The Late Late Toy Show airs at 21:35 GMT on RTÉ platforms with Patrick Kielty dressed as The Grinch in RTÉ's Studio 4 transformed into Who-ville.
  • Kielty marks his third year hosting The Late Late Toy Show's 50th anniversary, with the Late Late Toy Appeal having raised over €26 million since 2020, uniting families across Ireland.
  • Liam Neeson, Irish actor, recorded a special opening voiceover for this year's show, and Kielty said, `I still can't quite believe we've managed to get that sorted!`.
  • RTÉ will provide live Audio Description on RTÉ One and ISL coverage with deaf presenters Sarah-Jane O'Regan and Jason Maguire, and all toys featured will be donated to charities.
  • Amid live unpredictability, Patrick Kielty said he is 'now at the Zen Buddha stage' of hosting, while the show reaches a global audience of well over a million and is not geo-blocked.
