Patrick Kielty has been praised as the host of this year’s The Late Late Toy Show.
The Down native made his Toy Show debut on Friday night, and fans have since taken to social media to praise the presenter .
The 52-year-old took over as host of The Late Late Show earlier this year, after Ryan Tubridy stepped down from The Late Late Show back in May.
In the Elf-themed show, Patrick wowed audiences with his magnificent opening number as he dressed as the iconic Buddy the Elf from the classic festive film.
With the show still in full swing, fans have now flocked to X to commend the presenter as host of the beloved broadcast.
Viewers have said the comedian is “knocking it out of the park” as they praised his rapport with all the toy testers on the show.
Patrick Kielty is just great! I think it’s fair to say that the country needs the #LateLateToyShow tonight. The children are real superstars & are simply outstanding.👏🏻👏🏻
