This leads me to think, that for the first time ever, The Late Late Show could be recorded and not air live. Maybe this is one of the new contract stipulation set down by Patrick if he agreed to host the show - remember RTE need Patrick, more than Patrick needs RTE
Patrick is the man in control here, and maybe he will do what Graham Norton does - record his Friday night talk show on a Thursday, giving him a rest on Friday and time to prepare for his Saturday morning radio show.
I can see your logic but I hope that doesn’t happen because while the Late Late Show certainly needs to be reformed it does still work best live. There’s an electricity to a live show that I believe you simply can’t replicate when it’s recorded.
