Co Down broadcaster and comedian will succeed Ryan Tubridy on RTÉ flagship chatshow from next season
“To follow in the footsteps of Gay, Pat and Ryan as the next custodian is a real honour and I can’t thank RTÉ enough for giving me the chance to be a part of the next chapter of such an iconic show. I’m also genuinely humbled to become part of Friday nights for so many Irish people, at home and around the world. I can’t wait to get started on one of the greatest jobs in television.”
“Patrick Kielty is undoubtedly one of Ireland’s finest comedians, a fantastic presenter with a depth of experience and a range of talents that will bring an exciting new dynamic to the show,” he said. His BAFTA-nominated programme My Dad, The Peace Deal and Me saw him named UK documentary host of the year at the 2018 Grierson Awards, while his most recent film Patrick Kielty: 100 Years of Union won a Royal Television Society award. His first feature film, Ballywalter, in which he stars alongside Seána Kerslake, will be released later this year.
RTÉ did not specify the length or nature of its agreement with Kielty, who is now likely to become RTÉ's highest-paid person.
