Four things we learned from Patrick Kielty’s second Late Late Show, from throuples to seating
Patrick Kiely with Late Late Show guests James Nesbitt, Vogue Williams and Baz Ashmawy
Last week Patrick Kielty opened the show with a trio comprised of Tommy Tiernan, Hector Ó hEochagáin and Laurita Blewitt, who co-host a podcast together and seem a natural choice to interview all at once. If you thought that three-part opener was a once-off, you would be mistaken. This week, Kielty called forth James Nesbitt, Vogue Williams, and Baz Ashmawy to sit together for the first chat of the night, with Ashmawy describing it as “a throuple”. It works for the likes of The Graham Norton Show but so far, it’s not an easy conversation format and instead, it feels like a way to squeeze in the same number of guests as before but on a tighter schedule — this season’s episodes are running at a streamlined 90ish minutes and can feel rushed at times.
