The Late Late Toy Show is set to air on Friday, December 5th, at 9:35 PM GMT on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, and it promises to be a spectacular event. This year's show, hosted by Patrick Kielty, will feature a star-studded lineup of performances and a special guest appearance by Liam Neeson. Kielty, who has been presenting the show for the past two years, is known for his creative and immersive approach to the annual tradition. This year, he will be dressed up as the iconic Dr. Seuss character, The Grinch, and will spend three hours in the makeup chair to transform into the infamous green humbug. The theme of the show will be Christmas movies, with Kielty's previous performances as an elf and in Home Alone setting the tone for a festive and entertaining evening. The show is a beloved tradition in many households across the island of Ireland, and it brings people together to enjoy the latest toys, performances, and a sense of community. Children from all 32 counties will be showcasing their talents, and the parade will feature a diverse range of acts, including singing and dancing. The show is also notable for its inclusivity, as it is not geo-blocked, allowing viewers from around the world to tune in and join the celebration. This year's Toy Show is expected to be a memorable one, with Kielty's creative vision and the talented performers coming together to create a unique and joyful experience for viewers of all ages.
